Song of the Day: “Make-Up Bag” – The-Dream (Feat. T.I.)

I have found a solution to The-Dream‘s latest lady dilemma: rather than making-up by throwing 5 stacks down for a new make-up bag every time the Patron gets the best of you, drop 10 stacks on the interchangeably fantastic “Herbag” by Hermes. Modeled after the ever-iconic “Kelly” bag, “Herbag’s” modular, rubberized canvas design gives the cheaper option to purchase a new component for each occasion she gets mad, instead of a new “Birkin” every time you’re in need of forgiveness. While I don’t endorse any genderized accessory (“Herbag” – whose bag?), I do endorse a bag that’s as bipolar as relationships can be.

“Pay Off” – O’Spada

I’ve posted quite a bit on the topic of O’Spada – the little Swedish hip-pop group that hasn’t (yet) taken off in the U.S. of A. They’re just too creative to let die under the plethora of hipster similar’s, so, once again… let me introduce you to the only acceptable neon-lit glitter band this side of Goldfrapp. How many times can I say it? The Swedes go HARD! Just listen to those synths squirt your face. Listen to the kiddie choir on the bridge. The track’s an undeniable pop opus that will (crosses fingers) pay off. Their debut album drops internationally May 19, 2010.

The Smoke & Mirrors Effect:

unlikely proliferation of gangsta mentalities relating to high fashion, hip-hop, R&B (as seen on Bleach Black, WorldStarHipHop.com, SNL, Hedi Slimane’s Rolls obsession, and Givenchy’s latest muse Ciara)
