Pilobolus on O’Brien

This is mad cool.  Caught them on on Conan O’Brien last night and was in awe. 

Nas- Queens Get That Money

wow…

Nas’s untitled album (originally titled Nigger)  will debut July 15.

Flowerbomb

newly discovered love…Victor&Rolf’s Flowerbomb.

Originally, it was introduced in 2004, but a new version came out in 2007 and it smells AMAZINNNGNGNG.  It’s fresh, classy, and gracefully sexy.  It’s long lasting yet isn’t pungent or overly strong.  It’s crazy good.
