QUESTLOVE W/ SPECIAL GUEST YOUR NEW FAVORITE BAND

Definitely an honor for us. There's a lot of bands that have and continue to influence us. The Roots are definitely one of them, and Questlove alone has been behind so much important music. I think D'angelo's Voodoo would go up in both me and Matisse's top 5. Maybe Tune as well? I remember I used to wild on Voodoo so much when it came out, and my boy Kev always accused me of having naked D'angelo posters in my room because the cover looked kinda gay. But I digress. The 29th. Gonna be crazy!

THE BUDOS BAND

Another great addition to the currently relevant funk revival bands such as the Dapkings, the El Michaels Affair, and the Menahan Street Band. Here's one joint which I find particularly dangerous. Support these dudes. Good music being done for the right reasons. Cop an album or better yet go see them live. www.myspace.com/budosband

FASHION CHECK: NOM DE GUERRE

Those who know me well know that I'm a bit of a fashion head. Particularly a fan of the stuff that's street, but very clean, understated, and detailed. I can't really get with the high high high fashion stuff, mostly cause I can't afford it, but also because I don't necessarily believe a button down shirt should be worth a grand because the pocket button was displaced or some shit. However, in my opinion there is some stuff worth paying for. Good denim, jackets, suits, and overall good staples. Nom De Guerre is probably one of my favorite lines out there this sort of stuff. The overall vibe is rugged, but tailored pieces that are military inspired. You can get their stuff at the Nom De Guerre shop in NYC at Broadway and Bleeker (you gotta walk underground) www.nomdeguerre.net, or at my man Zeb's store in Toronto www.nomadshop.net

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

The Dark Knight came out on video the other day. One thing I love about comics is the illustrators attention to detail that goes into some of DC greatest characters. Here's some of the best I could find of the classic crusader. The last one is a Japanime take on it.
