tim hetherington


This is Tim Hetherington. He is a British photojournalist who photographs conflicts across the world; most noted for his work in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Afghanistan.

Today he died in a mortar attack whilst covering the conflict in the frontline city of Misrata, Libya. His last message was a tweet which read, "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Gaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."

Below is a clip to his film Restrepo. A documentary about the second platoon, B company, 2nd battalion, 503rd infantry regiment (airborne) of the 173rd airborne brigade combat team in the Korengal valley. At the time the film was made, the Korengal valley was widely regarded as the deadliest place on earth. This film won the grand jury prize for the best documentary at the 2010 Sundance film festival and was nominated for the 2011 academy award (oscar) for best documentary. This was Tim Hetherington's gift. RIP.

pre-sxsw avec tyler, the creator


this man is leading the charge in a shake-up of rap music. leader and chief of hip-hop/skateboarding troop Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, their music has been daubed horror core. filled with vitriol, dark energy and voodoo magic it hits you like a shockwave. their live shows have been compared to punk gigs as they irk and antagonize the crowd, from the video you can see it's a ruckus affair

"i don't wanna sound to full-a myself but i'm the hottest nigga right now, like i have niggas on my dick. i have the coolest video out right now. like, at the moment i'm that nigga. but i don't let it go to my head."
