I am all over the Kidz in the Hall right now. As an old bastard - their throwback style and perhaps most importantly, their throwback references make this nostalgic hip-hop totally interesting for a dude like me. And in the most sincere show of respect, I even made them my Myspace profile [...]

I have long been convinced that when production budgets are tight, you may just get a higher level of creative output. Especially if you have a team that has not been spoiled in the past with unnecessarily high budgets. Shoot me, but I even love establishing parameters for big dumb agency [...]

Round of applause for the bastards over at McIntosh (no, not Apple) for further solidifying the fact that I am a stereotypical male. I have long been proud of the fact that I can get by without video games, traditional sports, big screen televisions, and expensive home audio equipment. Then twice [...]

Adweek covers the launch of ACME. See the quote from David.
“Our agency is really trying to put some best-in-class practices and thought leadership into the space. We still feel like there is a lack-of-thought leadership in [branded entertainment]“, said Caruso.

I recall having a conversation with the head of an agency I once worked at about our creative process. He was curious to know why we were struggling in the creative department. Deadlines, quality, innovation - it all seemed to suffer. We speculated how other best-in-class agencies dealt with these [...]

My old friends know that strange importance that George Michael plays in my life. Yeah, I know, cheesy. But at least I admit it. I could (and eventually will) go on about his continued influence on pop culture and eventual rise back to glory, but in the mean time, check out [...]

When discussing some of the tracks from her new album:
“The Dipset beats sound like something you can kill somebody to,” she joked. “It’s for the killers and the drug dealers. But, like, in Chicago, you can go kill somebody and then do the vogue dance afterward.”
This is why I love her! But I [...]

My next door neighbor growing up was an aspiring rapper. Inspired by Kwame, he chose the rapper alias ‘Same’, pronounced ‘Sam-ay’. His first and never-to-be-released record was entitled “2 Dope 2 B Legal”. After seeing the Kanye Grammy Nike’s up close, I believe these shoes are officially “2 Dope 2 B Legal”.

I have always been impressed by high-quality song mash-ups. The likes of Party Ben and the Bootie crew are incredibly creative in my opinion. But kids these days are reeeeeally blowing me away with VIDEO mash-ups. What will the kids do next? Give a kid a Mac and they’ll flip your original content into [...]
