Call Us Late...



But we've been busy for Days N' Nights.

We've met Cudi on a couple occasions and all we can say is he's a real down to earth and humble dude.

Musch success to him, this video was what we expected it to be.

Abstract, indeed.

New Ways To Flip A Burger...



" Welcome to Flip, the new burger joint strategically located in the men's shop in Bloomingdale's—perfect for when your burger craving inevitably overpowers your tweed-three-piece-suit craving.

Flip is more than anything a delivery mechanism for the five pillars of LaFrieda meat (short rib, brisket, wagyu, lamb/merguez and turkey), all chopped (rather than ground) to make for tastier, juicer, old-school burgers.

And think of it sort of like the Burger Joint—except it has the easy feel of a futuristic soda shop/diner, and choices. There's no need to plan ahead—just drop in, grab a seat at the bar and pore over the different ways you can have your choice meats cooked up, slathered with sauce and accompanied (there are nine sauces, eight cheeses and four fry options, to start).
"

We will be stopping by periodically seeing as how we are always purveying the streets of MidTown Manhattan. This looks like just the change..,Flip, of pace we needed.

Flip Is Located At:

1000 3rd Avenue (Bloomingdale's)
(between 59th and 60th) Midtown
New York, NY 10022
212-705-2993

Video: Kanye West Ft. KiD CuDi - Welcome To Heartbreak...



We must say that this is an interesting technique of pixelation overlay.

According to Mr. West:

" This is not the next single, “Amazing” is the next single.

This is the video we’ve been working on for the last month.

We know there is another video out there using the same technique so we were forced to drop it now. "

Dude is saving himself with these videos, no?
