Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are an entertainment powerhouse whether they are together hosting the 2015 Golden Globes or by themselves in Parks and Recreation and This is Where I Leave You, respectively. If you are not a believer here is more evidence, Sisters, the pair's new movie set to debut next Christmas. The movie's official trailer has not been released but a teaser came out yesterday highlighting the bizarre and humorous relationship between sisters played by Poehler and Fey. Good luck waiting 11 months.
House of Cards Season 3 Trailer /
Netflix has completely changed the way in which we consume visual media with their compelling original series. For several months, House of Cards fans have waited with bated breaths for the tumultuous season three. Last night, we were appeased with the first trailer of the show that will have every episode available for streaming on February 27.
The trailer depicts the Underwoods in their new positions as President and First lady, managing the rigors of running a country as well as the dirty work that has become synonymous with the Underwood name. Following Kevin Spacey's Golden Globe win, he spoke about the upcoming series saying, "I can tell you that there will be scenes and dialogue , movement, surprises--some of it taking place in the White House--some of it taking place somewhere else. There are shock surprises, holes, and turns..." Check out the short preview below; February will be here before you know it.
Travels 1/11/15 (Playlist) /
Today I am traveling back to school. To put it simply, the sounds of the airport and the organized chaos can be stressful or calming, even if you are a seasoned traveller. For me, they are stressful and nerve wracking because heaven forbid you lose focus, get lost, or get caught in the careless scrums and miss your flight (hasn't happened to me, yet). How have I remedied the stress? As soon as I step through the airport doors the headphones go on and do not come off until I have reached my destination. Knowing this, the night before my travels are usually spent adding music to my iTunes library in preparation for the long day. In saying this, here is a playlist of some of the songs I added for my January 11, 2015 journey through the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Greenville Spartanburg airports. The collection of music is highlighted by new music from Wilough Smith, who released a short EP yesterday titled Interdimensional Tesseract, which the songstress describes it as, "Just for ambient vibes." Philly rapper Tunji Ige, owner of a popular track "For Us", YGTUT's Preachers Son, and knocking productions from SangoBeats are also featured. Enjoy the playlist below, and if you are traveling be safe!
KITH x Aimé Leon Dore Collection /
New York lifestyle brands KITH, founded by Ronnie Fieg, and Aimé Leon Dore, founded by Teddy Santis, have joined for a friendly collaborative collection. As good friends and founders of their respective brands there is a certain commonality between Kith, ALD, Fieg, and Santis, a commonality the latest collection draws upon: perseverance. Ronnie Fieg explored the concept of perseverance in competitive environments finding a fitting analogy between the world of fashion and boxing. KITH x Aimé Leon Dore takes inspirations from Muhammad Ali and other greats of his era and translates them onto key apparel silhouettes that were selected from each brand and then redesigned to create a cohesive look from KITH and Aimé. Also, interestingly enough, each garment is named after streets in Queens, NY that played a pivotal role in the lives of Fieg and Santis. The pieces chosen are Aimé's Astoria Robe that is updated with a two button front placket, the Hillside Crew, the Hollis Hoody which reimagines KITH's Frayed Hoody with its waffle-thermal lining, and the classic Roosevelt Pant that also features a waffle-lined treatment. A simple knit beanie, as well as the collection's black and Oxblood color scheme ties the range together. Shop the entire 10-piece KITH x Aimé Leon Dore collection now at KithNYC.com and the KITH Manhattan store at 644 Broadway, New York, NY.
Audio Push featuring OG Maco - Heavy (Produced by Hit-Boy x Ducko Mcfli x Hazebanga) /
OG Maco and Hit-Boy have been on a tear as of late; Maco with his 15 track self-titled EP and Breathe, both coming seemingly simultaneously, and Hit-Boy comes off the cusp of his production work from Nicki Minaj's "Feeling Myself" featuring Beyoncé. They both have done it again as they are featured on the HS87 duo, Audio Push's new track "Heavy". In case the OG Maco and Hit-Boy names weren't enough to set you over the edge, Audio Push also attached this note on SoundCloud accompanying the song, "The best thing since grits and eggs... Album on the way!" Whether "Heavy" is featured on the new album or not remains to be seen, but it is available for a listen below.
