We (Beats, Frames & Life) had a chance to interview Adrian Younge a couple weekends ago when we went to see his band Venice Dawn perform in San Diego. He talked about the worlds his band creates and the upcoming project with Ghostface Killah “12 Reasons to Die.”

Their definitely one of my favorite bands at the moment and I’m so excited we had a chance to work with them. Here’s the link to our full post on the site (which includes their tour dates) and to our facebook photo album with the rest of my images.

Enjoy.

Incubus - Neither Of Us Can See

“I am one big, fleeting errant contradiction. It’s so good to meet you … We are one in the same. Isn’t it disdainful and curious that both of us think we know everything ♫”

Further adding to not only what it means to be an American, but as a global citizen across the world embodying integrity and ethics, we are proud to present the Be Bold, Be True project presented by Nike. A few months ago we were approached to be involved in this project concerning Black History Month (#bhm) project alongside some familiar faces from our very own Black Ivy team to our good friends over at MadburyClub. We connected with the general theme of ”Be Bold, Be True” and felt it resonated with what we’re currently doing at Street Etiquette, also what we hope to continue to push in the future.

Check out photos and more at Street Etiquette

“What are rules to the rebel youth who grow with a gusto for adventure?
They’re imaginary…
Like boundaries in infinite space.
The building begins from within.
Then out of skin.
Onto pavements.
Where you pave the way.
From corner store conversations to revolutionary contemplating.
It takes training.
It requires heart to acquire an absence of fear.
This ain’t no hocus pocus.
You can become potent when potential is embraced.
And your focus causes you to become colorblind to color lines; seeing that there is no mold.
The model for the future is for you to make new.
So spark the rebellion!
Do it with cause.
The power to change your surroundings is right there in your palms.
Go out and pound the pavement.
Pulverize any paradigms and leave no standards standing.
For success isn’t intended to be the possession of a select few.
Don’t ever let them see you sweat.
Just be bold.
Be true” – Joekenneth Museau

all the love.

Jimi Hendrix “Somewhere” (1968)

The first single from Jimi Hendrix’s forthcoming album, People, Hell, and Angels. This song features Buddy Miles on drums, and Stephen Stills on Bass. I don’t know if I could handle an album that features 12 songs that sound this good, I might lose it after hearing the album. If the rest of the album sounds as good as this song, this might be album of the year. People, Hell, and Angels drops March 5th, 2013.

yes please and thank you.
