I wish I had a NY-accent like Michael Rapaport!

June 7, 2009

Michael Rapaport‘u sevmiyen var mı? Adam Poetic Justice, Zebrahead, True Romance, The Basketball Diaries, Mighy Aphrodite, Cop Land, Bamboozled ve Next Friday gibi klasiklerde yer aldı, ama Oscar’ı bile yok daha adamın! Hillary Swank’e en iyi erkek oyuncu ödülü veriyorsunuz da Michael’a bir ödül layik görmüyormusunuz?! Bunun yanında bir de Boston Public, The War at Home, My Name Is Earl, Chappelle’s Show ve CNBC-e’de yayınlanan Prison Break serilerinde oynadı. Bu kadar da yeter değilmiş gibi bir de A Tribe Called Quest‘le ilgili bir documentary yönetiyormuş! Yapımcısı da Nasty Nas! Evet, Mr. MR runs NYC! You better recognize!

Michael Rapaport

This guy deserves an Oscar! I mean, he started in incredible movies like Poetic Justice, Zebrahead, True Romance, The Basketball Diaries, Mighy Aphrodite, Cop Land, Bamboozled, and of course Next Friday! And let’s not forget about his performances in series like Boston Public, The War at Home, My Name Is Earl, Chappelle’s Show and most recently in Prison Break giving the series some balls finally! So you’re probably still wondering why we did a post on Michael Rapaport? Well, basically because we love him to death and feel like he deserves more credit for his amazing carreer that spans over fifteen years! And did you know that he’s currently working on a documentary that is being produced by Nasty Nas on legendary hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest! Nuff said: Mr. MR runs NYC! You better recognize!

Hilarious Website – Texts From Last Night

April 17, 2009

Yakın arkadaşım Parmita dün bana bu sitenin linkine gönderdi ve bügün en az on sefer baktım siteye! ‘Texts From Last Night‘ sitesinin adı da dediği gibi ‘dün gecenin’ smsleri var! Siz de benim gibi sık sık sarhoş olup saçma sapan mesajlar çekiyorsanız, bu siteye bakın ve ‘you are not alone’ hissedin!!

texts_from_last_night

Our good friend Parmita told us about this hilarious site ‘Texts From Last Night’ and as the title already gives away it’s a site with text messages from ‘the night before’. We can definitely relate to these messages, since half of our adult years have been passed with booze in one hand and a phone in the other. The amount of drunk dialing might exceed the crazy texts, but still… We can all relate to these messages! So if you ever feel bad and embarassed for a text you’ve sent, just check out Texts From Last Night!

The Daft Punk Console by Najle

March 18, 2009

Her zaman müzik producer olmak isteyen ve bunu beceremiyenler için şimdi Arjantin Flash yapımcısı Najle‘den bir inanılmaz coşturan ve sapıtırıcı bir Flash müzik konsolu çıkmış! Daft Punk sevenleri için daha da eğlenceli olan bu alet’te ekranda ki her kutu bir sözçuğu temsil ediyor ve her kutunun da klavyeniz de ki bir harf aktive ediyor! Yani siz q, w, e, r, a, s, d, f harflerine basarsanız ‘work it, make it, do it, makes us, harder, better, faster, stronger’ çalar! Haha, bıkana kadar şarkı yapmaya hazır mısınız? Hemen Daft Punk Console a gidiniz ve sakın durmayın! One More Time!!!

daftpunkconsole_najle

I was never much of a music producer. Until now that is! Najle from Argentina came up with this crazy ass spacelicious music device that makes all the Daft Punk lovers go apeshit! It’s a music console made in Flash, where every box represents a word from a Daft Punk song and every box is being activated by a letter on your keyboard. So q, w, e, r, a, s, d, f gives: work it, make it, do it, makes us, harder, better, faster, stronger! Let the playing begin! Oh, and we are told that more songs are going to be added and a pitch control might be one of the new features so go visit the Daft Punk Console now and keep an eye on this site! One More Time!!!

Thanks to Saydan‘a sağol!

Fizy is THE way to find songs and music videos!

March 11, 2009

Ok, belk’ bu site Kanye’nin LV pabucları kadar yeni olmıyabilir. Ve ok, belki bu site dünyanın en göze çarpan sitesi olmuya bilir. Ama biz sadece bir şey söylememiz lazım: Ohara! Bu site tam farkında olmadan aradığımız siteymiş! Hem bulması zor olan şarkı bulabiliyoruz, hem üstünüde klipleri de oluyor. Artık işte iTunes’sız olmanın zararlarını yok edebilirsiniz. Artık YouTube kapatıldığı için, müzik kliplerinden uzak kalmanıza gerek yok. Artık arkadaşınız size geldiğinde ve sizde olmaya bir şarkı çalmak istediğinde, saatlerce aramanıza gerek kalmadı! Işte Fizy!! Bu sitenin arkasındaki güzel insanlar kaliteli ve kullanımı kolay olan bir site yapmak istemişler ve görevlerinde çok başarılı olmuşlar! Bütün Fizy‘de ki çalışanlara teşekkürler!!

Fizy_songs_and_music_videos

Ok, so perhaps this site isn’t as new as Kanye’s LV sneakers. And ok, perhaps it’s not the flashiest site in the world either. But can we say one thing: Damn! This site is exactly what we needed to find good quality music quickly. Be it for work where you don’t have iTunes, or be it for Turkey and the fact that YouTube is blocked, or be it that a friend is over and wants you to play a song but you just don’t have it on your computer! Fizy is THE solution! The lovely people behind this site have focussed on the quality of the songs and music videos they offer, instead of having a complicated website! Thanks a lot boys and girls and now let’s get everybody Fizy!

Big-O x Clark Magazine #35

March 6, 2009

Clark Magazine Fransa’nın önde gelen moda ve sanat dergilerinden bir tanesi ve 35′inci sayıları için Swagger ve Phenomenon’ın arkasındaki büyük adamı Big-O kapak tasarımını yapmış! Tabii dışı güzel içi boş olsaydı biz herhalde bu yazıyı yazmadık. Içindekiler arasında Peter Sutherland’un portfolio’sı var, Hiroki Nakamura (Visvim), Scott Campbell, Wax Poetics, Busta Rhymes, GrandMaster Flash, ve Tiga’yla ilgili de yazılar var! Derginin yeni sayısını kutlamak için de iki (!!!) parti var: Tokyo’da (13 Mart) ve Paris’te (7 Mart)!

clark-magazine-35-big-o-1-404x540

Clark Magazine has caught that artsiness that Dazed & Confused has without turning into copy cats! For their 35th issue they have Swagger and Phenomen’s big guy, Big-O, to do their cover! The result is simply amazing, but if it was just the looks we wouldn’t put a post up on the mag. The contents are mind whipping as well: Peter Sutherland portfolio, Hiroki Nakamura (Visvim), Scott Campbell, Wax Poetics, Busta Rhymes, GrandMaster Flash, and Tiga among others! Because the good people of Clark Magazine are pretty party people there are two (!!!) to celebrate the new issue. One on the 13th of March @ Tokyo and the other one on the 7th of March @ Paris!

Seth Rogen + Michel Gondry = Green Hornet!

March 4, 2009

Daha bir hafta bile geçmedi ama bir Michel Gondry haberi daha elimize geçti. Superbad, Knocked Up, ve Pineapple Express’ın yazarı ve aktörü Seth Rogen, yeni projesi ‘Green Hornet‘ için Michel Gondry’yı ikna edip, yönetmen olarak kadroya ekliyebilmiş! 2010′un Haziran ayında çıkacak olan film için beklentiler tabii birden yükseldi. Ayrıntılı bilgi için MTV‘de röportajın tümünü okuyabilirsiniz!

michelgondry_sethrogen_greenhornet

It hasn’t been a week since our last post on the genius calles Michel Gondry, but here’s another hot item on the good man: Superbad, Knocked Up, and Pineapple Express writer/actor Seth Rogen convinced Monsieur Gondry to join the ‘Green Hornet‘ film as the director! Although the movie is scheduled for a June 2010 release, a lot of people are already starting their countdown! For more news on the project and an interview with Seth check out MTV!

Kaws x New York Magazine – Best Of New York 2009

March 3, 2009

Kaws New York Magazine için ID-Magazine’e de yaptığı gibi ‘Best of New York 2009′ sayısı için kapak tasarlamış! Normalde Kaws’un işlerine hayran olsak da bu sefer sanki biraz çok doldurmuş kapağı. Ama yinede street art için önemli adım ve umarız ki yakında Türkiye’de de bunun faydalarını fark ederiz! Dergiyi satın almak için buraya buyrun!

new-york-magazine-best-of-nyc-2009-2

Kaws has teamed up with New York Magazine to give their ‘Best of New York 2009′ issue a make-over! Unlike the iD and Complex one, we thin this one got a little bit out of hand. Or at least, it’s just so present and not one of Kaws best works. Still it’s better than any ordinary New York Mag cover and definitely another big step for thousands of street art artists to mainstream recognition! If you want this on your coffeetable go order it here!

February 20, 2009

Bu yazinin basliginin neyle ilgili oldugunu bilmiyorsaniz, herhalde bir Fransiz tasarimcinin ozel Flight pabuc modeli icin yaptigi bir tasarim sanabilirsiniz. Ama aslinda bu haber, basit bir pabuc haberinden cok daha onemli, bu haber sanatla ilgili! Unlu/yaratici/deli/Dali-esque/sanatsal Fransiz yonetmen Michel Gondry (‘Science of Sleep‘, ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind‘, ve ‘Be Kind Rewind‘) bu sefer enerjetik/absurd/iyi yurekli/komik/sevimli televizyon dizisi Flight of the Conchords‘un 2. sezon, 5. bolumu ‘Unnatural Love‘u yonetti! Monsieur Gondry’nin ozellikle ‘Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor’ adli parca icin yaptigi klip Bret ve Jermaine icin super olmus!

michel-gondry-flight-conchords-too-many-dicks

So if you have no idea what the title is about you might think some cool french dude is bringing out a new limited edition sneaker, but no. This piece of news is way more exciting than that: famed director/artiste/psycho-creative Michel Gondry (movies like ‘Science of Sleep‘, ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind‘, and ‘Be Kind Rewind‘) took the job of directing an episode of crazy funny/creative/absurd/energetic/goodhearted Flight of the Conchords. There’s one incredible song in the episode called ‘Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor’ and Monsieur Gondry takes it to another level! Check out episode 5 ‘Unnatural Love‘ from season 2 of Bret and Jermaine!
