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
