I never thought my wildest dreams would come true.
In fact, these dreams are transforming into nightmarish realism that human beings won’t be able to keep up with mechanical powers that be.
I’m talking about robots.
Yes.
Robots.
Hey dudes!! Looks like city garbage is getting a slight makeover. A friend just sent me a link to TRASH: anycoloryoulike, an art project movement that replaces ordinary black trash bags with those of colorful 100% biodegradable polka dot bags on the sidewalks of New York. It’s an attempt to bring awareness to consumption, waste, the environment, and art.
Store owners can purchase these at $10 a bag (expensive, yes, for garbage) but think how much good might come of the city if all waste bags were replaced with these less harsh, cuter biodegradable ones. It’s definitely a creative step in the right direction. JINNIE xx
Yoo guyz.
There was an awesome show in deep Chinatown last week.
Julia Tepper played her solo stuff, (you might recognize her from The Americans) and made the hair on my arms stand up.
Her voice is out of this world good.
Think of an angel’s voice, and that’s what Julia belts out.
New York kid Samuel went on after, and did a cover of Usher’s “Love in This Club”. It was rad. Check the pics. Peace~Spacey Tracy xx
That’s all. We just sort of HAD to tell someone. xo
Meet my bud Michael Angelakos, the brain behind (and underneath his curly coif) the ear-happy solo project-turned-band Passion Pit!!!! Happy to see what a success he has become, and will continue to be, since our days from Boston-based Emerson College. I’ve since finished school and haven’t seen any performances, but Michael and his three bandmates have already opened for Girl Talk, Death Cab, and These New Puritans back in the New England area.
Now signed to Frenchkiss Records — home to some of indie’s finest including The Dodos, Les Savy Fav, Detachment Kit, and others — Michael has migrated and nestled somewhere in the bowels of Brooklyn, diligently recording away his September EP release “Chunk of Change”. And if you’re in NYC, check out Passion Pit’s residency at Cake Shop later next month!!!! Click over to myspace.com/passionpitjams for deets, jams, etc. and I’ll see you there if you’re down for a dance-off. Laterrr ~Jinnie xx
A) MGMT played in Boston and at McCarren Park Pool this past week, which were both amazing shows. (pictures coming soon) AND the fact that Andrew (singer and guitarist) puts on a dress sometimes, makes him an amazing new style icon.
B) Fleetwood Mac is an amazing summer time fix.
C) Twin Peaks the tv series is amazing, and you can watch all of Lynch’s finest on www.hulu.com.
Do you want to wear sneakers to work every day, learn how a major fashion company gets everything done, and get $10 an hour?
Do you have an amazing attitude, great writing ability, and obsession with fashion and music, every NYLON ever written since you were ten, and a place you will be living in New York City this September?
Then be a Converse intern!
They need two amazing workers to start this Fall, but you must be smart, you must be dedicated, and you must be in love with Converse (that part’s easy, I know).
If you think you can handle it, send a BRIEF email to Matt Kneller at Converse telling him why you must, must, must be his intern. Include your resume as an attachment. Do not include your photo, dating profile, kittens, recipe for chocolate chip cookies, or favorite Arctic Monkeys song as an attachment. Just trust me on this one.
PR@converse.com
Put “FALL PR INTERNSHIP” as the subject of your email, or they won’t open it, ok?
