Coldplay featuring Rihanna - “Princess of China” (Behind The Scenes)

Although this was released a few weeks ago and taken down, tons of people ripped the video and have posted that version as an official clip. 

Here’s the correct version minus the random ambient noise that appeared in the previous version that was released.

Coldplay is one of my favorite bands, so glad I got the chance to work with them and have a 40 minute one on one conversation with Chris Martin in his trailer.

Selah

Randomly discovered this song today. Can’t believe how well-written and relatable it is.

“Nothing can be done against the truth

No matter how we remain in denial, yeah
Wasting time
Replacing time
With each empty excuse
But that’ll only work a little while
Coping with despair
Knowing you’re not there
Ashamed to just admit
I’ve been a fool
So I blame it on the Sun
Run away from everyone
Hoping to escape this ridicule
Trapped in misery
Wrapped so miserably
In this deception that im wearing like a skin

Dying to mantain
Oh I keep trying to explain
A heart that never loved me to begin
Oh I’m such a mess
I have no choice but to confess
That I’ve been desperately trying to belong
Lying to myself
And everybody else
Refusing to admit my right was wrong

And then He came
Selah
And it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
And it means
Did you think about that?
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
That it is sealed

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
This treason from within
That reasons with my sin
Won’t be happy til it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted
To a life that I depicted
Conflicted cuz it’s not reality
Oh what’s left of me
I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me
Please save me from myself
I need You to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can heal

The choices that Ive made
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
What a wasted use of space
Should I die before I wake?
In all of my religion
I’ve fortified this prison
Obligated to obey
The demands of bad decisions

Please save me from myself
I need You to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can heal

And then He came
Selah
And it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
And it means
Did you think about that?
And He came
Selah
Oh and it means
Meditation
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
That it is sealed

And then He came
And then He came
Then He came, then He came, then He came
And then He came”

Lauryn Hill in this clip reminds me of my older sister Tara so much.

“Since I am not a rabbit, no I do not” 

this show is hilarious

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I want you the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you

I give you all the love
I want in return, sweet darlin’
But half a love is all I feel
It’s too bad, it’s too sad
You don’t want me now
But I’m gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow, oh baby

I want you the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you

This one way love is just fantasy, oh sugar
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don’t play with something you should cherish for life, oh baby
Don’t you wanna care
Aint it lonely out there

I want you the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you

I want you the right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Want you to want me, baby
Just like I want you

So many people talk about Balmain and have never been to the actual boutique. Well, I’ve been there - numerous times, and have actually shot parts of an unreleased short film in there (including shooting numerous takes of a transaction at the cash register and shit like that). 

Although Christophe Decarnin was ‘god’ over there, it’s pretty cool that Olivier Rousteing is only 26 years old. Can’t believe how commercial the brand is getting.

Here’s a picture I took after returning home from Paris, some time in 2010 when I was throwing some trash away.

From Paris to Harlem.
