Space Fashion & The 50th Anniversary of the Mercury 7

Its funny how the fashion of spaceman has stepped up over the years.. hahaha this fucking shit looks like it wouldn't even keep you warm out side on the street.. its like some 1930's movie prop!!But 2009 is a big year for NASA’s history. Following their 50th Anniversary last year they are celebrating the 50th Anniverssary of the Mercury 7. The Mercury 7 were the first 7 Astronauts(John Glenn, Alan Shepard, “Guss” Grissom, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, Deke Slayton and Gordon Cooper) picked to fly on the Mercury missions(Deke Slayton actually flew on the Apollo mission). Later this summer NASA will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the first moon landings. You should check out the official NASA web site for a complete history of the Mercury program and learn more about these pioneers!

WOW!! Nigo Cedes Roles at A Bathing Ape

Reliable fashion source WWD reports that A Bathing Ape’s general Nigo looks to be stepping down from his role as president and director for the legendary Japanese streetwear brand, founded in 1993. Nigo will remain a majority owner of Nowhere Co., Ltd. which is A Bathing Ape’s parent company. Following a strong showing with his 15th Anniversary last year, this step down comes as a major surprise. He will although continue his role as designer for A Bathing Ape as well as his partnership with singer/producer Pharrell Williams alongside BBC/Ice Cream, where he is head designer and co-owner.

NEW MUSIC: Pretty Buoyant Society

Just out of pure curiosity, especially if you know these cats personally, I would check this new music out. Hard to categorize, but easily personified in the energy and personality of both Adriel Luis and DJ Phatrick, these two artists combine forces in an experimental music project: Pretty Buoyant Society.

I dig it.
Check it out. Their first single, Schizophrenic Love features the perfect heart strings of Golda Supernova.

From the artists themselves:

Across cyberspace, and all up in your interface--it is with technically-advanced pleasureness that we present to you, Pretty Buoyant Society: a hi-octane force of musical extravagance that finds its roots in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and perhaps some corners of America. PBS ambassadors Drizzletron (of iLL-Literacy) and DJ Phatrick serve a first taste entitled "Schizophrenic Love," a tale of romance so forlorn, the volcanic powers of the lava lady Golda Supernova had to be summoned. Add the eruptive heat from the b-side "Hot Chocolate," and you have the most delicious download your hard drive will ever coax into its cache.

Oakland Police Shootings: FACING RACE IN OAKLAND AFTER TRAGEDY

FROM COLORLINES - a national news magazine on race and politics.

Here's a powerful piece on the Oakland police shootings, written in reflection.

"...this unconscionable tragedy is NOT an opportunity to further the isolation, negation, and dehumanization of young Black men in Oakland and in cities across the United States."

Facing Race in Oakland After Tragedy
by Guest Columnists Charles McDonald and Nick James

Wake up, America! Conflict between Oakland’s Black community and law enforcement officials were NOT born yesterday. Hot headed tensions between our community and law enforcement officials predate the 1968 murder of Little Bobby Hutton, have continued to rise throughout the space and time leading up to the Jan 1st, 2009 video recorded shooting death of Oscar Grant by BART police, and have reached new heights in the aftermath of the most recent tragedy: the murderous rampage of Lovell Mixon, who cold bloodedly took the lives of four Oakland Police officers in East Oakland before his life was taken last Saturday.

Indeed, tensions are high, but the stakes are even higher for young Black men in the city of Oakland. Let us be firm when saying Lovelle Mixon is not a martyr. At best, Mixon’s actions defy hope in human life. However,

Throughout the next few weeks there will be much public volleying back and forth condemning the police state in Oakland and the prevalence of crime in the Black community. However, discourse laced with hate and bigotry lends itself useless while the day-to-day operation of the Town continues to be riddled with structural flaws. Finger pointing aside, we must ALL deal with the facts, 17.2% of Blacks in the city of Oakland are unemployed and 24.5% live in poverty. Excuses aside, these alarming statistics perpetuate crime and inequality, and have a profound impact on EVERY resident of Oakland, not simply those within the Black community.

Between the untimely deaths of Oscar Grant, Lovelle Mixon and the four Oakland Police officers recently slain, the city must find a middle ground, better yet a higher calling to stand in solidarity with every citizen. Oakland has the opportunity to view these senseless murders as the apex of terror and fear and dissuade future occurrences through a stringent effort to revitalize and redevelop every community ravaged by poverty and economic inopportunity.

Our socio-political community is full of powerful multi-racial organizers, artists, families, educators, and elders eager to replace Oakland’s national image of violence and political catharsis with our shared values of unity, justice, equity, and inclusion for ALL Oakland residents. This is no small task. It requires the commitment of every one of our community stakeholders to stand together and converge on these values motivated by our potential, sustained by belief, and nurtured through love.
