Diplo Peforms at the Middle East in Cambridge
Sweaty, drunken teen girls bumping and grinding with a giant slice of cheese pizza on a stage is usually something that only occurs in the most bizarre of fantasies. But, on Friday October 17th, Diplo and the Mad Decent crew (shoutout to Pizzaboy) made this a glorious reality.

On Thursday September 25, I saw one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. America’s Best Dance
Crew the Live Tour came to Boston, and I still cannot get over how much energy the performers brought into the theatre. The decor of the elegant Wang Theatre (typically used for opera and classical performances) provided a stark contrast against the urban dance crews on stage. A three-story metal structure was set up on stage that allowed the dancers and DJ to do their thing. As soon as the show started, the MC for the night immediately told the entire audience to get on their feet. Everyone was excited to be there (myself included) and were cheering and dancing the whole time. I can’t even explain how much better seeing the crews live is than seeing them on TV. All of the stunts and moves were much more dazzling in real life. Both Super Cr3w and Jabbawockeez were huge crowd pleasers and definitely deserved to win their respective seasons.

This is probably one of the most interesting ideas that I’ve seen in a short while. Basically, a man by the name of Robbie snapped over
3,000 pictures on his Canon 5D SLR of his life in Boston over 3 days. This includes his rides on the T, visits work and school, etc. After that was all done, he converted the pictures into a short film by playing them rapidly in the order they were taken. This is what he got. The music is “Dry Lips” by Lightspeed Champion.

The people over at KarmaLoop have got some fresh new gear in stock. I figured that this would be a great
opportunity to mention my new favorite clothing company (for the next 24 hours or so), Once Upon a Time in New York. Their t-shirts are bold and make a statement, literally. I eyed this clever “We Run Boston” tee and know that I have to get it. If Boston isn’t your city, there are plenty of variations on this “We Run ______” tee. They also have an “I Got More Kicks Than Chun-Li” tee and a “If Notorious Big was Alive 90% of Rappers Today Would Be Working at McDonalds”. Hahaha.

Today is the the 4th of July; America’s own Independence Day. As per the annual tradition, every 4th of July
evening explosions of color mark the sky. “The Samurai” tee by Tank Theory also features an explosion of colors, which some say resemble miniature fireworks. Tank Theory is a t-shirt brand and design company that essentially produces wearable art. The designs that they have are totally unique and stunning. They describe themselves as “original in concept, design, and execution.”
