What up Providence buddy, all of my friends have ran into Emma and said hi to her and claim she's the nicest person ever. My friend and I have Harry Potter tattoos (fuck you) and my friend geeked out to her about the new movie and Emma stopped what she was doing and had a conversation with her about how excited she was.

True story.

At least she knows the reason she's rich.

I'm pretty sure I won't be picking up anything from this, but the concept seems alright. 1930s menswear in modern fabrics.

Cannot handle this!!! Fainting kittens!!!!!!!

this is humiliating and sad

he is basically saying that whatever Lanvin charges thousands for can be reproduced at a fraction of the cost.

if this were true, then Lanvin simply sucks at making clothes because they need to charge $2000 for an item that could be produced for $50. if its not true, then he basically lying or can't tell the difference between a mediocre and high-quality product.

either way, my respect for Elbaz shrank immensly.

didnt he say that they made samples for H&M? so what if they just used simple materials and easy enough to execute ideas, and were surprised that H&M managed to reproduce them so well on such a large scale?

Saw Shackleton live last night, fucking smashed it.

haploid - re: what is/isn't dubstep... there's a whole lot of things, but I think one of the most important things that sets dubstep apart from similar genres is it's referencing of it's predecessors - grime derived bass, uk garage vocal hooks, swingy double tempo hihats. It's definitely more complex than 'half tempo and mega reverb'. To be honest I'm cynical as to whether a lot of 'dubstep' should even be termed so... 2562 seems to spend more time referencing old FSOL records than London garage, for example.

Also 75bpm might not seem that different a tempo to dubstep, but when you double it up you're clocking at 150, which is waaaay fast.

Honestly tempo gets really twisted by the producer anyway, a bunch of the Instra:mental stuff is that tempo but doesn't feel like it, Loefah has a bunch of 145 bpm stuff and no one could tell. Then again those are half-step bits.

Woha, I didn't know we had a dubstep/grime thread. I'm knee deep in the stuff, being a producer myself. I'm most interested in the dubstep/house/techno grey area though, I'm always mixing between them. Just released all the remixes I came up with this year too:
