Mr. Hudson's album Straight No Chaser was released in the UK Monday.
Supernova has already hit the radio and I already posted "Time" and "White Lies" which are my favorites but here are some others that have not gone mainstream yet. I love him. He reminds me of a younger, more enthusiastic, and creative version of Chris Martin.

If you like Kanye West's lyrics or appreciate wise words of inspiration, keep reading.
Mr. West has a new book out and I think it is worth a read (note: this is not sarcasm so feel free to make fun of me like everyone else who is in the Kanye West hate club). His newest book collaboration with Bill Plympton is called Through the Wire: Lyrics and Illuminations and it is available via Amazon. The following editorial review is from Amazon.
"This is a rare partnership between two geniuses at the top of their crafts -- Kanye West, who was named "the smartest man in hip-hop" by Time magazine, and Bill Plympton, an Academy Award-nominated animator, cartoonist, and illustrator.
Through the Wire is a graphic memoir that illustrates the lyrics of twelve Kanye West songs to tell his story, from his decision to drop out of college to pursue his dreams in music, through his days spent folding chinos at the Gap while struggling at night to make a name as a producer, through the pivotal car accident that eventually set him on the course to stardom and the epiphany of realizing exactly who he had become:
The result is a one-of-a-kind book that initially grabs you and stays with you forever."

"...They say people in your life are like seasonsPlympton illustrates each of the songs in detail, his vision of Kanye's world. The songs are annotated with explanations of the references in the songs, biographical components that illuminate the lyrics, and their meaning on a deeply personal level.
And anything that happens is for a reason..."

I will never get sick of this song, video, or Kanye. He is a passionate person and I can relate to that. I don't care if he makes mistakes, we all do. If your mistakes were on national television, would people like you?

Ladies and gents this sweatshirt is a must have. Why? Because neon scribbles are awesome, Biggie is a legend, and you need something to wear on the days when you don't know what to wear. There is nothing better than throwing on an over-sized sweatshirt and still looking fly. Yea, I just said fly.
Ladies, do it with leggings (preferably with a zip leg) and your All-stars, Chanel ballet flats, Pierre Hardy platforms, or Dunks.
Gents, do it with your jeans (preferably urban cut and a dark wash) and your Supras, Creative Recreations, Vans, or Dunks.

Isabel Marant S/S 2010. Was going to post pictures but the collection was so good that you have to see everything.
Truth:
"Every time you unveil an industry, and use media to do it, people say, ‘The magic is gone. You’ve shown too much.' But no one can crack the code for why Karl Lagerfeld has done what he’s done. You can show people where to buy the fabrics, you can show them how to sew, but magic only happens when there’s talent. Tom Ford is magic. Valentino is magic. Karl Lagerfeld is magic.”
