Here’s a little behind the scenes footage of the upcoming “sequel” to The Hulk, “The Incredible Hulk”. This sequel is already looking up. For one, Edward Norton is an infinitely superior actor than Eric Bana & Abomination is a more entertaining foe. Yea, I’m anticipating it…

Recently I blogged about the teaser pictures for the upcoming DQM x Nike Blazer collaboration. And now I present to you the DQM Blazer in all its GLORY!. Here’s an excerpt from DQM.com about the release:
After spending time in the Nike Design library at World Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon, the team identified full grain leather and the classic Safari print on premium suede as their materials of choice for this special Nike Blazer. The next step in the design process saw the DQM team divide into two groups: Chris and Dave were joined by Nike designer Al Baik, while Kyle paired with Nike Design Director, Jesse Leyva. “The challenge was to see which team, taking inspiration from BMX and Skateboarding in the 1980’s, could create the best color way for the Nike x DQM Blazer Mid,” said Kyle Demers.“When Chris, Dave, Kyle, Al and myself shared ideas, I knew there was not one winner, and the Nike x DQM Blazer needed to be in fact a collection of all three versions created by the DQM team,” said Jesse Leyva. “So that’s exactly what we did. “

I remember coming across Lily Allen’s Myspace page several months before her single “Smile” released and found its way westward. I must admit that the big draw of her single was how eerily similar to Radiohead’s Karma Police it sounded (Hmm). Nevertheless, the song was dope! Currently, Lily’s in the process of recording her as yet titled sophomore release. Check out a leak that ‘might‘ be on it:
