Let's ignore my short blogging hiatus (hey, I'm busy okay?) and focus instead on Kanye's return from a much longer, 9-month hiatus...

First, the rapper:

Power, Kanye West feat. Dwele

RIP autotune - you will not be missed. Also, it seems Kanye has finally cheered the fuck up. Thank goodness, it's nice to have the hater-angry Kanye back.

Second, the producer:

Find Your Love, Drake (prod. by Kanye West)

This sounds like everything from 808s. 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

This video was continuously filmed, in one take, with audio being recorded simultaneously with the film.

night out with shepard

Shepard Fairey and his team stayed up all last night creating an outdoor wheatepaste mural on a giant white wall. The mural, which takes up half a NY block, was completed around 5 am this morning.

Upon completion, Shepard said, "I'm not tired, but isn't it past your curfew?"

Living vicariously through these cool Coachella styles, all spotted and photographed by designer Rebecca Minkoff.

Maybe if I put on some black ankle boots, a printed romper, cross-body leather satchel, big-ass sunnies and hippy headband, Jay-Z and Passion Pit will show up for an impromptu serenade?
