Diesel XXX Party 20081011

Diesel, “the Italian jeans, casuals and other clothing manufacturer”, has been promoting their “XXX Party” which will be launching on October 11, 2008. It will be held in 17 cities around the globe:Tokyo, Beijing, Dubai, Athens, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Milan, Munich, Paris, Oslo, Stockholm, Zurich, London, Sao Paolo, and New York.

Headliners include: N.E.R.D., M.I.A., Chaka Khan, Joel & Benji Madden, 2ManyDJs, Soulwax, Mr. Oizo, Junkie XL, Steve Aoki, Uffie, David Holmes, Pedro Winter, The Cool Kids, Lindstrom, Sister Bliss, New York Pony Club, The View, Mark Ronson, and many more.

Now, other than a clean, grungy splash page for the party, the marketing team came up with a widget (promo video) to have party goers and supporters alike forward the word to their friends and families. I got a laugh out of it and think the use of the illustrated parts and/or cartoons were awesome. That and entitling it SFW XXX is pretty genius:

Thanks to Mik for forwarding the video.

Common – Universal Mind Control Teaser Video

Here’s Common Universal Mind Controler teaser video f. Pharrell posted by Kanye.

The fly-through part remind me somewhat of a scene in James Bond (Sean Connery) were he’s playing that missile game and gets shocked if he makes a mistake. Anyone know which movie that one is?

Anyways, sick video.

Kanye West, co-starring: Rihanna, N.E.R.D, and Lupe Fiasco

Awesome show. I went to the San Jose HP Pavilion one this past Saturday, 4/19th. Too bad I missed most of Lupe’s. Oh well, I guess I just have to roll and see him in a smaller venue.

Anyways, this is a dope show/concert to go to–well worth the money and time. I scored an awesome 4-star VIP tix and sat Front-2, Row-10, Seat-14 right dead-smack center and aisle.

Everyone was on point w/ their performances… and didn’t say the wrong city =) (I read that Kanye said "Seattle" up in the Sacramento Arco Arena show 4/18th)–no love for the Kings haha
