Moovmnt 004: B. Bravo
Recommended Listening / Dj Mix
Deep, moody contemporary R&B. Pretty much lap dance central if you were in a strip club where the strippers are the internet 20 somethings really into Aaliyah.
I will be doing a rare guest DJ spot with some old and new homies this Sunday. Hope my Brooklyn friends will stop by for a few.

This can never happen again, and if it did it wouldn’t be nowhere near as memorable.
Scotland shot on film by Tim Hollister

Tim on this series: “Very unprepared and sleeping in a small hire car, Scotland is freezing compared to Mexico where I’d spent the majority of the year. The very first photo of the trip was the highway shot, a personal favorite.”

My thoughts exactly.
There’s almost an unfair amount of talent in these screen grabs. You can also not help but marvel while being ecstatic that Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams, and Nigel Rogers all got together in a studio. Even more astonishing is that those sessions will actually be available for fans worldwide.

The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center officially opened 40 years ago on April 4, 1973. At the time of their completion they were the tallest buildings in the world.
These photos, taken shortly after the World Trade Center was completed in the early 1970s, are part of the DOCUMERICA series, a program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency to photographically document subjects of environmental concern in America during the 1970s.
Find more images from DOCUMERICA at “Searching for the Seventies: The DOCUMERICA Photography Project,” now open at the National Archives in Washington, DC.
