Magic Wands

Here’s another killer clip by psychedelic guitar duo Magic Wands. I love their low-fi aesthetic and the way singers Chris and Dexy weave their softly crooned vocals into the layers of synth and guitars.

Answer: No, they do not.

Reportedly, Balenciaga recently filed a lawsuit against Steve Madden for “intentionally copying” their lego-inspired heels from their Fall ‘07 line.

Maybe there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. After all…

A new study reveals that women are more likely to remember the first pair of shoes they bought than who they shared their first kiss with. In a poll of 1,000 women, 92 percent remembered the first pair of shoes they bought with their own money, but less than two in three could remember the name of the first person they kissed. While 96 percent felt remorse for throwing away a pair of shoes, only 15 percent felt bad about dumping a boyfriend.

The Knux

You’ve probably never heard them on the radio unless you live in a really big market but the best thing to happen to Hip Hop since Outkast and Kanye are The Knux. Like The Roots, brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Al Milio play their own instruments and produce their own albums, blending influences as diverse as De La Soul and the Strokes. Coming straight out of LA (via New Orleans) the duo released their first full length last year but really only came into the limelight after they received heavy rotation status on last season’s Entourage soundtrack, mainly owing owing to their affinity for witty, intelligent rhymes and what Biggie called Cali’s three W’: the weather, the women and the weed.
