It’s a bit hype for the moment, but because I know there’s quite a bunch of Gondry fans amongst my visitors, check out his latest commercial, for Motorola:

I don’t know when but apparently there’s a Beautiful Losers movie scheduled to release in 2007 still. Coincidentally I’ve only just read the book a couple of weeks ago, and yeah, it’s a must-read if you’re fascinated by how skateboarding, graffiti and (sub)urban youth culture in general influenced the art world. The trailer was put [...]

I told you before and I’ll say it again: one day on-point will be big in Japan! For all I know we might just be so already. Anyhow, Japan is doing it big over here in the headquarters. I’m talking about the Japanese jazz sensation Soil&Pimp Sessions. These cats served me one of the best [...]

Recently crossed my favourite comedian Hans Teeuwen down the block, told him he was the greatest of our time and if only he’d crack jokes in English, he could be big around the globe. “Lloyd, as always, you have a point!” Hans enthusiastically replied. And so it seems like I triggered Hans into translating his [...]

I’ve been a Clark Wallabee afficionado for at least six years now and I never really gotten to understand the whole sneaker freaker phenomenon. Not untill I got to see “Just For Kicks“, a documentary on the worldwide sneaker collectors movement. Real sneakerheads probably already bought the limited edition dvd release that came with a [...]

I almost forgot to pitch this next one to you, but it looks like we finally have a proper online magazine covering all things soulful, from hip hop, funk and soul to the whole sneakerculture: The kicks, the snares, the style and the finesse: kicksnare.be Nice interviews and reviews (in Dutch), list of favourites, cool [...]

October 1st “L’aventure c’est l’aventure” is hitting stores. Uman‘s first solo album. You might know Uman from his ep Original Uman, from his work with Panache Culture, Lickweed and Bass Culture. As always, I had to sit down with the man and ask him out about his latest project and how it’s different from the [...]

Well I’ll be damned, nobody ever told me classic funk/disco joints were ever performed ànd recorded live back in the days! Hell, some of these songs even had clips! So on this occasion, let me plug you some of these timeless classics now, starting with the ultimate porno track: M’Tume – Juicy Fruit

This week I’ll take some time out to check this three hour docu on the life of Jimi Hendrix, looks like a solid piece: Jimi Hendrix: The Uncut Story – Episode 1: 1942-1961: “Jimi’s life in Seattle, Washington where he spent two-thirds of his twenty-seven years.”

A look around in the studio of the man, Piet Parra. Tons of photos, what more can I say, we love Parra! The interview even features a photo of drawings of Parra’s dad, who obviously has a big influence on him.

This has been a vic&lloyd classic for quite some time, but I never knew there was live footage! Should have known they recorded it for Soul Train at least one time… Anyway, Kool & The Gang’s Summer Madness: Damn, I just noticed there’s tons of other classics performed live on the tube, think I’ll share [...]

These new SixPack t-shirts by Dave Decat are close to the ultimate if you ask me. Although I usually sport me a sober no-print shirt I think I need me one of these in my closet, I mean look at them vilains: For those of you wondering where you’ve seen that style before, I’ve made [...]

Last week’s kick-off gig by Mongoose was postponed to the end of the season but it looks like this week Jazzbreak is back at it again. Don’t know if I’ll find time to bless you with some live video footage like last season, but I’ll do my best. Personal highlights of this season: MissCamille (with [...]

Sure it’s quite an accomplishment if you can pull of a good old 720° on the half pipe, but how about if you could spin around on top of a fire hydrant? Now thàt’s killing it. I didn’t know about Natas Kaupas until I saw this next 32 minute video portrait. And the title seems [...]

Not so long ago I asked you to define ‘art’. A useless cliché question to some, an interesting thinking exercice to others. Whatever your thought might be on that, I stumbled upon a definition that covers the topic nicely. At least in my opinion. It’s Arty Nelson’s introduction to his “Lightning a Bottle” essay, which [...]

I didn’t know that old classic ballpoint even had a name, but is has, say it out loud and it sounds like some exquisite champaign flavour: Bic Crystal. Here’s a short documentary on the history of Bic, who revolutionised the whole consumer game. Loved the old images in there and some of the animations, so [...]

Tomorrow the new Strictly Niceness season is opening. Very much looking forward to that! For the fans of the drawings on the flyers, the story behind that will be featured on on-point tv in one of the future episodes. The entire line-up for the upcoming months is on the Strictly Myspace and with that I’ [...]
