Wednesday Morning Inspiration: Foreign Crime Films

In the past two years I may have not seen two better films than Gomorrah and Un Prophete.  Both films were highly acclaimed (Un Prophete was nominated for Best Foreign Film at this years Oscars and Gomorrah was "famously" snubbed last year) and deserved of even their highest praise.  Don't get me wrong, I want to see Hot Tub Time Machine as much as the next bro, but sometimes you need a new perspective on things.  I don't watch enough foreign films, but every time I do get around to sitting down with one and giving it the attention it deserves I see things in a new way - both of these films accomplish just that and in a very big way.  Gammorah and Un Prophete couldn't come more highly recommended from yours truly and if you're one of those people who bitch about subtitles get over it. C'mon, would you rather be reading a book?

God may have created women, but something more power created Ms. Bardot.  Good morning.  That is all.

Wednesday Morning Inspiration: Girls In Selvedge Denim

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a woman in selvedge denim is a magical thing - talk about a collaboration for the ages. Big ups to Baldwin Denim for helping make my dreams a reality.  If there are any women out there looking for some new jeans, look no further.  You should probably grab a pair of Clarks while you're at it especially if you're serious about breaking some hearts.

Wednesday Morning Inspiration: T. Rex

Arguably one of the most underrated bands of all-time, T. Rex is best known for their 1972 chart topping hit "Bang a Gong (Get It On)".  The British band formed around singer songwriter Marc Bolan in the l960's as a folk group under the name Tyrannosaurus Rex, but quickly transitioned into a glam-rock band and changed their name to T. Rex.  For a short period of time in the early 1970's the band rode "T. Rextasy" (their version of Beatlemania) to the top of the charts in both the US and the UK.  Largely forgotten today, T. Rex is credited, along with David Bowie, with pioneering the glam-rock genre.  These cats could seriously jam and it is a shame that their legacy is lost upon most American's today.  Bolan's premature death from a car accident in 1977 sealed T. Rex's fate as an afterthought in the annals of rock history, but for a short period of time these guys were the kings of big riffs and even bigger amps.  It's late on a Tuesday night and I can't think of a better time to get funky.
