5ive Times The Fun.

today's entry is brought to you by the number 5 (five).

1. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five

Bringin' '61 back! That saxophone melody, the quintuple time and the somewhat haunting piano that pushes the rhythm section are a few reasons why this song became a jazz standard. Did you know that this song hit the Billboard Hot 100? If you've never known the title before, chances are you've already heard the song, even though it may be before your time.


2. Staple Design Commercial

I love jeffstaple's BLOG, I've got nothing but the highest love for someone that has people making fake commercial for them, for free! + you've got Jeru the Damaja's 'Wrath of the Math' bumpin in the b/g, what more can you possibly ask for? (this was the 5th youtube vid on my favorite list).


3. FruitionLV - Neon Leopard Jean Pants (5th item on FRTNLV's Shop Blog)

Fruition is a crazy store. Vintage streetwear from the 80's and 90's, revived and curated to make your shopper's dreams come true. I've bought a few Fruition pieces (like the nice Fruition x Stussy shirt pictured above) because, as their mantra states, "We Are The Future." These neon-yellow pants emit the same youthful, vibrant flavor that Fruition is acclaimed for, and I wouldn't mind rocking a men's pair (not too tight though!).



4. The Hundreds - 5th Anniversary Artist Design Series

The Hundreds is an LA-based clothing brand that entered their 5th anniversary this year and continues to bring out really nice basics and outerwear. I'm really picky about their stuff and usually go for the simpler, quieter designs, but they do flesh out the technicolor colors. Anyway, this is the fifth shirt of the series, done by Ususgrow. NICE.


5. Charles Cohen - Buchla Music Easel (the 5th (and probably freshest) Vimeo feature video i saw today)

I REALLY want to own this. via wikipedia: "First built in 1963, this synthesizer was composed of several "modules" that generated or modified a music event. Each box served a specific function: oscillator, filter, sample and hold, etc. This would have an effect on the pitch, timbre, amplitude and spacial location of the sound. The idea was to allow musicians and composers to create sounds suited to their own specifications."

I know this may seem like a nuisance to control + master, but the Charles Cohen video just makes my mouth water..i want to play it!
