Alright, so Steve Jobs announced the iPad today and from what most had been saying, it’s pretty much the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Reader Killer. The iPad looks good and pretty much does everything your iPod Touch and iPhone does. Weighing in at only 1.5 pounds with a 10in screen, this could be the next big thing out of Apple. However, The iPad doesn’t have a camera for web chatting, a flash reader; which to me, is a valuable asset for suffering the internet, and also it runs 3G network speed. On a positive note, the pricing starts off at a decent $499.

Considering that they’re one of my favorite bands, I became extremely excited to know that their EP (This Is War) was releasing earlier this week. I went out, purchased a copy for myself and took a listen on my way home. “This is War” equals a brilliant piece of work. There is nothing like hearing instruments on a record and the construction of beats added. Front man Jared Leto, justifies every track with his raw and stouthearted voice. Jared manages to shear affection and emotions that bleed on the title record: This Is War, as well as other tracks: Stranger In A Strange Land & Vox Populi. The entire EP is a serious body of work and really showcases the struggles and hardship this band went through to release this album. From beginning to end I enjoyed this record and I know all of you will as well. “This Is War” is a extraordinary must have. Below is their music video for the Track “Kings & Queens”. My review of the video can be read Here.
The group consisting of frontman Jared Leto, his brother Shannon Leto, and Tomislav Miličević, sat down with Nylon TV for a little interview where they discussed their record and the band.
Now in other news, Jared Leto took the Cover of “Nylon Guys” for their January 2010 issue.
What more can I say about famed Photographer & music video Director “David LaChapelle”, He continues to out do himself time and time again. Gathering inspiration from another famed Artist “Andy Warhol” David successfully completed a shoot for the hit car manufacture “Maybach” on their “Zeppelin line”. The photos and art speak for themselves.
This is my favorite photo. There is a huge amount of story that keeps this one picture enjoyable. I love it.
I became A huge fan of David’s work ever since he directed one of my favorite Artist’s”Christina Aguilera’s” Dirrty music video back in 2002.
In the Japanese men edition of fashion magazine “Non-no”, the highly known Japanese manga and Anime character “Monkey D. Luffy” historically becomes the first animated character to be featured on the cover. I’m a huge Anime fan creator Eiichiro Oda Manga and I’ve been watching “One Piece” ever since it first began airing in Japan many years ago (via fan-subs). One Piece is a wondrous tale and I recommend to anyone who don’t know what it is, to go look it up. The series is currently licensed by Anime distribution company Funimation and has a string of DVD releases available to own. The series has over 500 Manga chapters, 428 animated episodes and still counting, with a string of movies under its belt.
