Michael Jordan and Gatorade street art

photos by Gatorade

A street art tribute to Michael Jordan made out of 19,000 Gatorade bottles, including the new Gatorade Limited Edition Jordan Series, glows on a basketball court Monday on Chicago's South Side. Local Jordan fans and longtime Jordan teammate Scottie Pippen helped construct the mosaic, which Gatorade organized as a way to celebrate Jordan's Hall of Fame career.

Check out these old school commercials that Scottie did back in the day with as Mr. Submarine and the Silent Assassin!

A new kind of place for vinyl

The good old plastic milk crate is easily the simplest, cheapest way to store your vinyl records. This weekend, I came across two interesting takes on the classic milk crate over at Urban Outfitters.

On the left, we have a cast aluminium version ($98 here) on top, a simple wooden box with the sketch of a milk crate on the bottom ($38 here).

While they're priced too high to store all of my records, I like the idea of having one nice crate out in the open that I can move around while the rest of my records are on the shelf.

This ‘Hibi no Neiro’ music video was posted on July 1st on YouTube. Over the past two weeks, the video has scored an impressive 480,000 plus video views. That’s almost 30,000 views a day. Impressive. Checked in on the band’s official web site - http://sour-web.com - and noticed that to date they have only released a few independent albums. Amazing to think an independent band can draw a global audience of almost 500,000 viewers just by involving their dedicated fan base. And who knows - I did not investigate other video sites - but likely the music video for ‘Hibi no Neiro’ is syndicated on other sites and is racking up more hits off of YouTube as well

Fade to Black

What a great way to introduce an artist.
