Theophilus London - This Charming Mixtape.
via Certified Fresh:
Theophilus London’s mixtape is truly “charming”; I’ve been following Theo since I heard the “Sandcastles/Black & Blue” remix he did with Solange from the The Exactly’s “Your New Favorite Mixtape” that Trick posted a while back! The mixing by Machine drum is just dreamy: Dreamy because it’s seamless and...

You Should Be Here.

Carlo, the title of your Tumblr reminds me of this picture.
I LOVE THIS!! are you trying to tell me something, Renee? haha playin!
If the URL to my tumblr wasn’t a big enough hint, the title of it originates from Raphael Saadiq & D’Angelo’s “Be Here” chorus off of Saadiq’s Instant Vintage album, for those of you wondering. Here’s the...
The Diggers Society.
There’s something civilized about record digging: Maybe it’s the delight you get from finding an elusive rarity, or the nostalgia evoked from finding a record you forgot you already had, or the hidden gold, waiting in the dollar bins.
record stores are shutting down left & right and i cringe at the thought of not being able to flip through records in the near future (maybe Obama...
Blackalicious - Make You Feel That Way
This song came up when i used to dub 106 KMEL’s “Friday Night Flavas” on Maxwell 90 min. cassettes and Blackalicious was being interviewed and promoting their album Blazing Arrow. After they played this song, I HAD to get this song no matter what!!! I searched Napster, Limewire, & Audiogalaxy to no avail, so I just kept rewinding my cassette tape to make that...

Lacoste x Atmos Cabestan Vulcs.
These ^ & the pink-accent Cabestan Bulcs are a little too bubblegum-esque for me; hopefully they re-do the collab and re-release these in blue, purple or other dark-tone accents! *fingers crossed*
Obama x Spider Man Issue!
YES!!!
Utada x M-flo - Distance (M-Flo Remix).
Utada Hikaru + M-Flo are two of my favorite Japanese artists, and when I first heard this rediculous chorus that Taku Takahashi (of M-Flo) chopped from Utada’s vocals, my mind EXPLODED!!! THIS is how you make a remix! If you ever listen to the original, you’ll understand how good this is.
UPDATE: I forgot all about the symphonic remix for this song, titled “Final...
New Balance MTG580 Gore Tex Pack.

There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is...
Happy New Year! In '09 We Shine Divine.

Happy New Year’s!
