Break the Wall of Sound with these Sol Republic x Tokidoki Headphones

 

For centuries, music and visual art have been inextricably linked — some of the most well-renowned operas are as memorable because of their lavish, intricate, grandiose set designs as they are their arias (think of Aida, for instance, which is set in ancient Egypt, or La Boheme, which brings to life the streets of 19th century Paris); graffiti and MC’ing stand side-by-side as two  of the four elements of hip hop; and the cinematic quality  of music videos like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” Björk’s “All Is Full Of Love,” and Madonna’s “Express Yourself” has made the images seen in these clips as memorable as the beats and lyrics of the accompanying songs.

What I Wore — Egyptian-Tinged Bohemian Style With An Art Deco Twist

I’m not always the timeliest of people — for instance, I just mailed my father his Christmas present last week, which speaks to the ludicrous “island style” time table by which we operate in my family (side note: he’s been known to send birthday presents a month after the date has elapsed, so one could argue that I got it from him!).
