The year got off to a fairly slow start… But it was still quite rad. Highlights include the video for “Us Placers” by Lupe Fiasco featuring Kanye West, Pharell Williams, and Thom Yorke, independently directed by VA$HTIE. A very cool video, it utilizes the classic technique of employing children as miniature versions of the rappers, as seen in Spike Jonze’s classic video for “Sky’s the Limit” by Notorious B.I.G.

Otherwise, January’s Best consists mainly of some excellent products… The Monocle Shorthauler and Gucci Briefcase are some of my favorites. (Not that I own them or anything… Just like how they look.)

Also, the Johnson Treatment isn’t nearly as dirty as it sounds! It’s really a neat little photo essay about how much of a boss LBJ was back in the day.
