I don't know how I missed this album but it was a big hit in the UK. From the producer behind the music of Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, his second album "Versions". Basically it's full of cover versions of music he has produced for the stars. This guy is brilliant and has such a fresh sound.

So what's been bumpin' at the EP office?

Estelle's new album "Shine" The UK girl making her big North American debut through John Legend's label. The girl has a great style range. Solid from start to finish.

Sergio Mendes "Encanto" I've been a Sergio fan since I was a kid the last album was so hot collaborating with Will.I.Am. This one is more old Sergio sans the Hip Hop and bringing in some more international artists. Really starting to feel it. The track "Funky Bahia" is infectious.

Architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas will be designing the new Terminal 3 at Shenzen Bao'an International Airport.

Their winning design features a glass roof linking it to the other terminals, letting natural light flood into the concourse. The facade is made from a double skin consisting of a fine net on the interior and patterned glass linked through a geometric structure.

The sky view is ridiculous...look at those beautiful design lines!

WOW...Designer John Truex with his simplistic plywood expandable furniture. I particularly like his sugar blocks design on his site. His other stuff...not so much. He smashed it on the plywood design though. Love it

Kanye's new video was shot by Hype Williams. Featuring the city of Chicago with some snappy editing and effects. KW is always doing something different. Can't wait till he gets here to MTL in May.

Sharpie on a Lambo? Now that's a first. Beautifully hand drawn then sprayed with clear coat to protect. I'm not into Lamboghini's but the artist smashed this out of the park....love it!

Today I ran across some old Kanye Mixtapes that he did prior to his first album College Dropout. A triple series titled Freshman Adjustment Vol. 1-3. If you're a Kanye fan you'll appreciate all the beats and special guests and hear how his breakout grammy album was pieced together.

Enjoy:

Kanye West - Freshman Adjustment
Kanye West - Freshman Adjustment 2

I've been estatic over the Lupe Fiasco album these last few months. If you haven't checked it out yet and love Hip-Hop run to the store and pick this bad boy up...Lupe Fiasco - The Cool. This inspired me to break out his last album Food & Liquor which is a definite classic. On a graphics note both covers are pretty hot!

Came across this ad for Bajaj motorcycles. Bajaj, little known on our western shores, is one of India's largest manufacturers of motorcycles and scooters. I was impressed with the cinematography, music, and overall editing of the clip. The product is a 200cc engined motorcycle but you get the feel that they are showing off some 900cc Ducati. Something like this would never get pass the corporate lawyers in North America. Enjoy...
