The Rap Board is one of those gifts from the internet that, in theory, you think you don’t need or want. But before you go digging for the receipt whilst fantasising about your exchange gift, I strongly urge you to give it a go. Quite simply, The Rap Board is a soundboard of rapper catch-phrases and hip hop ad libs. Just click on your favourite floating head for a delightful surprise. From Ludacris to Rick Ross, Kanye to Ja Rule, you’re in great company. Yeeeahh boi.

This video pisses me off. It seems to say that New York is no longer a city for you and me, it’s exclusively for supermodels who aren’t even from there and the rich people who fund the fashion industry. What I loved about New York when I loved it was the lady who sold me coffee in the morning, the guys playing chess in the park, and the crazy cabbies who gave life advice, not the faux glamor and elitism.

Okay, this is greatness in all forms. This is why I make art and I can’t hang out with most human beings. The emotions, the music, everything. Even if you’re not a fan of rap music, you should have this album. Pure excellence.

A friend of mine recently brought this Hong Kong video rendition of Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind to my attention. And while the videographer in me absolutely adores some of the effects used to film the clip, I’m left feeling the same sentiment as Hyp3rN3rd’s comment: ‘i like the ‘spoof’ and all but the chick can’t sing’.

The Model Maker was commissioned by a romantic and creative guy to create a ballin’ Toy Story themed engagement ring box, to help convince a lucky girl to be his wife. What girl would say no after seeing that box?
Greg “Craola” Simkins is hands-down one of my favourite artists. His work has been an inspiration from the very beginning. Incorporating a delicate blend of the surreal, graffiti stylings and more recently, classical art, the fluid movement of his compositions and the beautiful use of light and colour have had me entranced for years now.

Hotly tipped by a handful of soothsayers to take 2009 by storm, Trembling Bells are an altogether different and refreshing musical experience to much of what seems to excite people at the moment. On first listen, it’s fairly easy to ignore — one could casually shrug it off as some limp take on Scottish baroque folk. Yet, there is something more to it. Rarely do you hear that high-pitched, warbling voice in mainstream music. Likewise the marching band cacophony going on in the background is both daring and highly intriguing.
