Ich dachte mir ich poste mal etwas aus meiner zweiten Heimat. Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich ja dank Mark einen Post hier auf @RUNFFM über das Clavel Mag und die Collabo mit Paloma Esmeria ( @palomaesmeria ). Wenn ihr da noch mal rein schauen möchtet hier ist der link.
Vor ein paar Wochen hat STreething dazu ein cooles Video geposted mit Thema urban culture in Manila
und ich finde es sehr interessant wie schnell und gut sich das alles entwickelt hat.
Als ich 2007-2008 für ein Auslandsjahr auf die Philippinen ging gab es zwar auch schon was zu sehen aber noch nicht so viel wie jetzt,
ich denke ich muss dem ganzen auch mal wieder einen Besuch abstatten.
Schaut euch das Video mal an vielleicht sind da ja ein paar Spots für euch dabei wenn ihr mal Manila besucht. Ich weis zumindest schon mal wo ich paar Körbe werfen gehen werde ;).
So I was really stoked to see this little series by NIKE Sportswear Sweden, in which he meets up with Jonas Jerebko, the first Swedish player in the NBA. Making it to the NBA alone is incredible, but imagine to the first one of your country, it must be over the top!
In the 1st episode Adam flies to Kinna, Jonas’ hometown, is shown around by Jonas’ dad & checks out some pictures of the career of Sweden’s first NBA player to see how he slowly grew up into an NBA player.
Now, in Episode 2 Adam made his way to Detroit, where Jonas is playing with the Pistons. They are talking about the adjustment Jonas had to made, his first season, his injury, performing in front of audiences & crazy schedules.
In the 3rd episode Adam meets up with Juan Atkins, who was one of the people to help lay the foundations in the 1980s for Detroit Techno as it is known today. They are sharing their experiences on what good record feels like, but also discussing how the music business has changed the way you have to get yourself out there as an artist in this day & age with the digital revolution taking over.
In Episode 4 Adam & Jonas meet up in Stockholm to talk about their begginings, their struggles and also their goals.
The highligh of this series was the American Made event, that was basically a basketball tournament with an ensuing party. Dope!!!
But… was this really the footage of the 3 point contest?!??? And their Destroyer Jackets are fucking überdope!!! I couldn’t stop staring at those…!
It would also defintely be nice to see this kind of cool & interesting stuff happen in Germany, too.
As a little bonus you might like this video of Adam performing “They Wanna Know” in front of the last pieces of the Berlin Wall.
I saw this video via the good guys over at the DRMTM Party&Bullshit Blog and thought that this is a great making of, unfortunately for our English speaking readers it is only in German,
but maybe you’ll be able to enjoy some of the sights around Bavaria :).

Since Chrishimself turned this thing here in a video posting blog (just kidding of course, but you really should check out those last posts by him….), I also wanted to join the fun by posting this music video featuring a song by Japanese band SOUR from their mini album ‘Water Flavor EP‘, done in webcam-conference-style (if that wasn’t a word before, now it is!).
And in my opinion it’s done in amazingly creative fashion. Now is your chance to watch it finally.
It’s been already a month now that we are back from our short trip to New York City and Boston, but we think, it was worth the wait… Here is our official video!
Comments are welcome as always.
