Shoes are the vehicles by which the nomad traverses the world.
Whether nomadic by nature, by choice, or just on occasion, the materials that connect humans to the terra-firma beneath them are equally practical and symbolic.
Here is a new release for the spring and summer that would make my extremities proud.
Just a little note on this Tuesday to say hello. Helloooooo!!! Hello not to the dreamers but to the purveyors of truth. In 17 days, in the desert, I intend to seek it. There's nothing abstract in this quest...this is tangible, feel it in your hands, wrap it around you, look it in the eye truth. Let us raise our glasses, or whatever we have in front of us, and toast to fun and freedom that await the seekers. See you in April.
Hi. I was in Philadelphia this weekend! Boringggg city! Saw the Liberty Bell and ate a cheesesteak sandwich. WAhoOOI! Ok. Let's get back to it. We are in the teens here with our Coachella countdown. It's time to take a step back and admire from afar the things that we hold dear on occasions like this. We have our music and we have our gear...but what we need is perspective. Take a snapshot...keep taking them. Let the camera be passed around. Let it document the festivites and let it elevate them... through images immortalized on paper, to be handed down to the generations that follow. See, be seen, watch, listen, learn. Be lucid...in a multitude of formats.
Easy to find a cool camera at Amazon or at any Urban Outfitters Think Polaroid or Lomography to get things flavorful.
He's 23. He's from LA. He plays Coachella Friday. His name is Skrillex, and just so you would remember, he made a song called "My Name Is Skrillex". So you never forget, he remixed his own song. Here is "My Name is Skrillex" (Skrillex remix). That has more X's than an adult video shop! Give a warm Navajo handshake (do you KNOW what a Navajo handshake is??...let's just say it doesn't involve hands) to SKRILLEXXXXXXxxxxxxx.
Don't forget.
Hello again, to all my friends, together we can play some rock n' roll.
Join Cults: They are fun and communal and can brainwash you with their trance inducing messages! Of course I'm referring to the band out of New York with their 60's-tinged pop, who will be making their Coachella debut on Saturday April 16.
Listen to their new song. Tell a friend. Have that friend tell a friend. And they'll tell a friend. And... Soon the whole world will know.
**Note: Cults must be art savvy. Their cover art calls to mind one of my favorite artists, Robert Longo. Art meets commerce. Seeforyourselves:
Axwell’s new song is set to be released April 4, just in time for a drop in the desert.
If heart is king, as the title professes, Axwell is the on-site cardiologist; a medicine-man for our time inspiring people to dance and heal with tribal rhythms that transcend techno.
Hiyawatha hiyawatha hiyawatha.Make em dance to this.Make them – make them – make them dance to this:
Don't know if it pertains to anything in particular... Just the coolest sweater in town. Something for when the sun goes down...the latest from Sibling London
**Note the panda pattern with the KISS influence. Music and mammals in perfect harmony.
I need you baby to warm a lonely night.
I love you baby. Trust in me when I say it's ok
The 16th century painter Caravaggio, it is speculated, used a powder made from dried fireflies to add a photosensitive surface on his canvases.
Let us look to the firefly for a moment, things that glow, and making our canvases bright.
Natural selection has evolved in certain species the ability to emit light...the firefly for example is an organism that uses this trait to make itself as aesthetically pronounced as possible.
It aides in the process of sexual selection, and provides an alternative means of communication between potential mates.
Certain branches of the species based in tropical climates can synchronize their lights among groups in a phenomenon know as phase synchronization.
Glow-in-the-dark courtship can start with neon paints purchase-able at Amazon or Oriental Trading.
Paint yourself.
Let’s help evolve our own species and synchronize phases together.
Let’s turn occasional flashes into steady glows and make this April’s habitat a more colorful place.
Friday at Coachella: Make it happen at MAGNETIC MAN.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Backpacks are a Navajo's. They are an essential items for at least one member of your crew. Take your provisions with you with these new releases, available at Barneys and Eastpack. There is nothing worse than running around the festival grounds with heavy pockets, and a well designed backpack will alleviate the burden of the party that you're bringing with you. Take the lead this festival season and designate yourself the backpack carrier. Make sure to pack all the essentials, but then top it off with a few fun suprises. It's always fun when you can pull tricks out of your sleeve...and even better if they're coming out of a beautiful papoose.
Carry your weight :: hold your wampum

Navahos and Navabros- came across this sick saddle bag from our friends at Indian Traders.com. They're not really friends, but their gear is so nice they should be! More like kindred spirits. It's called a drifter bag and it's for you drifters out there...or people with appointments...either one. Great for packing anything and everything. Your journey awaits.
Remember: A horse is NOT a home. It never is.
Pendleton Chinle Drifter Bag

You've got a mouthful of diamonds
And a pocketful of secrets
I know you're never telling anyone
Because the patterns they control your mind
Those patterns take away my time
Hello, goodbye
New pics of a very intricate Nike Court Force High recently hit the Net. Inspired by Native American culture, the "Native American" Nike Court Force High features a Patent Leather/Textured Leather/Cracked Leather upper interwoven with traditional Native American prints on the tongue and under the clear body overlay. The "Native American" Nike Court Force High also features rawhide laces with beads and a spearhead at the ends.
A little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
