Levi Maestro

with all of this talk of what's cool and what's not cool, it's all reminded me of one man.


Levi Maestro is a designer, producer, skater & director that is now living the dream after going from having nothing and being bankrupt several times.


this quote totally fits the whole cool/uncool debate and is one Levi left on his twitter account:


"Who cares about being cool. "Cool" is the new wack. Cool is being authentic. Authenticity comes from your heart not your head."

guilty pleasures

we have been looking at each other's guilty pleasures within the media world and have been discussing what is cool and what isn't and is it possible that nothing is longer 'uncool' and everything has the potential to be cool.

here is the video for Jason Derulo's 'It Girl'.

I'm guessing with over 24 million youtube hits, there's a few others out there who aren't admitting to going home and getting this track up on youtube. 

cool?

today we looked at a man named Brian Eno.

after having a look myself at his achievements throughout his career, it's clear to say he's been an influential man on a lot of us, without us even knowing it.

he stated in an interview 'people become increasingly comfortable with drawing their culture from a rich range of sources - cherry picking whatever makes sense to them.' This is basically saying that people are becoming more and more accustomed to just liking what they want, whether it be deemed 'cool' or not and picking what they like from a huge range of sources.

here's the first 20 tracks that appeared on my phone when i pressed shuffle

1. Wiz Khalifa - On My Level
2. Twin Atlantic - Caribbean War Syndrome
3. Klaxons - Marble Fields
