Hidden Treasures

Many don't know there was a predecessor to Vault 1.5, it was the Vault 1.0.

Only a limited number of CD's were pressed. It wasn't intended to be sold in volumes.

Heard it has been seen on eBay for up to $100!

Several of the songs were sold for other singers, including "Rebound" and "Hold On".

On the live DVD album the song "When Love Calls" comes from Vault 1.0 in which James Yancey aka J-Dilla played the drums.

The "Muji" Just Cries Away

One of the keys to creating anything; song, sketch, idea; is having that perfect pen and pad handy at all times. MUJI makes some of the best paper and pens in the world! For those who aren’t familiar with their products, let’s go to school real quick:

Over the last 20 years, they have developed a worldwide following with a guiding philosophy that emphasizes innovative and simple materials, processes, and packaging. The resulting products are streamlined, environmentally friendly, and beautiful in their simplicity. MUJI is not only an internationally renowned company, but for many people is a way of life.

Now, the next question is Where Can I get some MUJI?

Artist vs Producer

KryptoNATE's

In case you guys missed the NBA All Star Dunk contest, in a stunning turn of events, Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks defeated Dwight Howard to take back his Slam Dunk crown.After his first round dunks, he was escorted back to the locker room as we all thought perhaps he was injured. He then returned wearing a green shirt which read Kryptonate. The name ties into the whole Superman theme that Dwight Howard has brought along to the Dunk Contest. As we all know, Superman’s one weakness is Kryptonite.

The shoes are called the Nike Foamposite Lite-KRYPTONATE edition.

Something for Knick fans to be proud of.

Anyone who is or would like to be an artist of any form must watch this. A friend sent it to me, and I find it extremely helpful to my journey. I hope it does the same for you.

Have you ever seen a guitarist play chords, a bass line and solo all at the same time? Well if not, ladies and gentlemen may I introduce Stanley Jordan.
