Carlos Lopez:

The new Danny Brown album is DOPE, he has the coolest production on his tracks and he’s such a clever lyricist

This video is a collection of strange looking skeletons and bats and such dancing and I kind of love this style of 3D animation.

Manual NYC sells custom (and affordable) disposable cameras that have a realistic film effect to them. I bought one for my vacation to test it out and they are incredible. Great Instagram account. 

This Berlioz’s – Symphonie Fantastique or “Dream Of A Witches Sabbath”, which is just a symphony I enjoyed listening to recently.

Monica: 

I’ve always been a huge fan of Big Bud Press, the Los Angeles based clothing brand that’s known for their vibrant unisex jumpsuits, pants and vintage inspired t-shirts. This week they dropped two new colors in their long sleeve jumpsuit – Clay Red and Seafoam Green and I’m obsessed.
