Such a dope concept. This is what marketing needs to be like for "lifestyle luxury" "the traveling person" brands etc etc. Definitely feasible to most but what is these days.

VIDEO: Kid Cudi feat. Kanye West and Common - "Make Her Say"

noreply@blogger.com (Spaces In Time) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:56:00 +0000

As you probably know getting a hold of me or catching a blog post has been difficult these days because we have been more busy than ever, but I could not NOT share this with you. World premiere of Kudi's new video, and may I say it is extraordinarily dope, possibly enhanced by the controversy over Drake's "Best I Ever Had" video. If you're gonna call it a hip-hop video, then you got to give props for changing the aesthetic for the landslide win.

NEW SOTA BLOG DROPS WITH "Shapeshifters" NEXT WEEK.

Trailer/Teaser: "Light In The Himalayas"

noreply@blogger.com (Spaces In Time) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:34:00 +0000

'Light in the Himalayas is a feature-length documentary about a team
of people taking solar panels from Japan to Ladakh, India, and their
journey to put them on a remote school deep in the Himalayan mountains.'

Project my sister is working on this summer, (along with various episodes of SOTA TV!). Have been to the Himalayas myself for a period of time and I must say it is an amazing place, left quite an impression on me.. and you already know I stay with my beads. I will update as more information about the film is available, but for now, enjoy the teaser!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson--and Shout out to MJ Fans

noreply@blogger.com (Spaces In Time) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:05:00 +0000

When/why we post another MJ tribute on a blog is really insignificant--we miss the king dearly, kinda too much to blog about it. That being said...I saw this video of a tribute a crowd did in Bellingham Washington and I was definitely moved by it--so shout out to MJ fans because you rarely see someone's music go this far, an inspiration to say the least.

This Monday at Nuemos be some live reggae...SOTAboys will be there, we hope to see you all...support the cause, jam out, have fun. nuff said...but in case its not, heres a blurb.

The band features the talents of Sierra Leonean musicians who had been living as refugees in the West African nation of the Republic of Guinea. Their music decries the horrors of war and is an inspiring symbol of the healing power of music. With the release of their first album, "Living Like A Refugee”, the band has been catapulted onto the world stage and recruited a club of A-list fans and backers including, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, Bob Geldof, Ice Cube and Aerosmith who had the group open for them.
