Mercedes Gravity Car Yes Gravity Car haha


The Silbervogel Gravity Car concept, by Jakob Hirzel from the Pforzheim University Of Applied Sciences in Germany,this vehicle has no engine, but still wants to Evolve and become a real racing spectacle. The racer relies solely on, gravity to pick up speed. We're thinking the whole exempt engine thing is going to give the Gravity Car a little handicap in conventional races, but as a thing for show & tell you would win an award this is probably not safe to drive on the highway either haha goodlooks to gizmodo for the photos.

Artist of the Week: Blake Lewis


Okay, now i understand most people love American Idol, and at the same time most People hate AI. But every one remembers Blake Lewis from season six. He was the spikey haired, beat boxing, white boy, who made me look at the TV and say, "Where the hell did he learn that?!" Seriously dude was my Favorite off season six. And the only reason I actually watched it.

Now you probably wondering why he's my pick for artist of the week. Well I was watching a show about where the AI artists are now, on my TV guide channell, and realized he not only made a kicks ass "hip hop/pop" album; (I'm listening to it as I write this) But he also did a track with your favorite rapper's, favorite rapper, Lupe Fiasco. Yeah at first I said "No fucking Way!" but yes way.

His new album is called "Audio Day Dream. Here's just a little info on Blake himself.

Audio Day Dream begins with an intro titled "Silence Is Golden ..." and ends with the outro "... I Choose Noise." Together, it's the mantra Lewis lives by.

"I've always been attracted to noise, even as a kid," he says. "I was obsessed with 'Mork and Mindy' because Robin Williams did so many sound effects when he was talking. I even love an annoying racket, especially if there's something rhythmic about it. You can beat-box to a car alarm."

Blake got both his love for music and rebel instincts from his mother, who ran away from home at 15 to pursue a singing career. He got into hip-hop as a kid through Rob Base and Fresh Prince cassettes and moved into grunge in junior high before discovering electronic music through "The Saint" soundtrack (with Moby and Orbital).

After learning piano and saxophone, he eventually began doing musicals and singing in choirs and a cappella groups, where he honed his skills beat-boxing. When he auditioned for "Idol" on a whim (he had never seen the show) the judges insisted he showcase his human turntable skills. He complied, beat-boxing through Seal's "Crazy." But then Blake made a request. He wanted to also sing Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning," which hadn't been cleared by the publisher, so he boldly said, "Turn off the cameras and let me sing it anyway." And thankfully they did.

Found all this at, His official Website, www.blakelewisofficial.com

Here is a YouTube "video"; =/ Okay, "the picture of his album cover, while the song plays" of his track with Lupe. But go Grab the Album it's worth it, from the "car ride", or the "house cleaning day", to the "cuddle-ling with your baby" moments. haha

The Nike Air Max "Running Man" Package


Nike connected with well respected artists Parra and Misha to assemble two pieces of the “Running Man Pack” - the Air Max 95 and Air Max 90. Parra, a legendary underground artist from Amsterdam, went to work with his signature colors on the Air Max 95 complete removeing Nike logos from the tongue and sole and instead replacing with his own unique artwork as you see there is no nike airmax logo at the top of shoe or the bottom even tho these kicks are still 1000% official, he jus added his artwork which makes these kicks even more rare to cop
Misha Hollenbach went to work on the Air Max 90 transforming the shoes with a more updated midsole, custom laces, and added his own austrian flava to it the color theme was mostly a tribute to his homeland.these kicks 1st droped in europe but then went thru a brief re-release and is now sold in the US they wont drop till 3-22 so image the rareity of these kicks they wont eva drop again courtesy to nicekicks and kix-files for the pics
