Above: A documentary about San Fernando Valley based LA musician ‘SFV Acid’ by director Tyron Lebon.

This is what happens when you just decide one day you want to figure out how to shoot video. I started asking a lot of my talented friends a million questions about everything and asking for links to great short documentaries. This was sent to me via my friend (also an amazing filmmaker) Harrison Boyce.

I love these two documentaries Tyrone Lebon did. Atlanta Dream$ is about Strip Clubs in Atlanta and how they are the biggest promotion machine to up and coming rappers.

Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant

Fri, 10 May 2013 12:02:00 -0400

Malin + Goetz has created my favorite deodorant. I’ve tested it now for a month in both NYC and LA (while running/bike riding/hiking.) So far it is the best working non aluminum deodorant I’ve tried. Though I can still sweat at times, overall it keeps you dry and non smelly. Is it weird I’m recommending this? Sure! But I do really like it. It has a steep price tag of $18 but it seems like it will last awhile and it’s worth every penny.

Details:

Odor-neutralizing Citronellyl Methylcrotonate.
Eucalyptus is known for its antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Alcohol + Aluminum Free.
Unisex

“Synthesized with refreshing natural eucalyptus extract and odor-neutralizing citronellyl for 24 hour effectiveness, our deodorant is appropriate for all skin types, especially sensitive. Blended to absorb without residue, staining, irritation and pore clogging. Natural fragrance and color.”

Grab it now at Amazon, Malin + Goetz

This Chris Cohen record has been one of my favorites since my friend Jamie played it for me out of my own Rdio collection (sometimes you add things and forget to listen.)

Go grab a copy of Chris Cohen’s Overgrown Path.

AquaNotes - So I Don't Forget

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:29:00 -0500

AquaNotes

Where is the one place I go with no distractions? The shower. I love showering. I do most my thinking in the shower. What happens when I think of all this good stuff in the shower? I forget it as soon as I step out and get distracted again.

Cue AquaNotes, the waterproof notepad. I know it’s dorky, I know it’s weird but this waterproof notepad has saved me many times and keeps me sane. You could say that you should just zone out in the shower and not think of things, relax, but it’s inevetible that I will think of something. A to-do, a good idea, anything, stuff I gotta remember not to forget.

Grab some AquaNotes $8 (Amazon link)
