Justin Timberlake

Having a bad-ass tequila brand affords a man a lot of things. In Justin Timberlake's world, one of the perks of co-founding 901 Tequila (named after the telephone area code for Memphis, 901) has been being able to conceive and direct 901's first commercials. As evidenced in his acting roles and music videos, film is an art form upon which Justin has shown increasingly passion. After delving headfirst into acting, (y'all have seen those Social Network trailers, right?), a natural next challenge is directing. Well, after watching the 901 commercial films, you will be left not only with wickedly thirsty, but with one question ringing in your head : "Is there anything this man can't do?"

Ever wonder what it would be like to walk across America, Forrest Gump-style? Well, one man did it - all the while documenting his trip in a stop-motion video - and the results are pretty damn rad. The wanderluster is named "Mike" (yeah, we're kinda wondering who he is. Mike if you are out there, let us know?? comment below? sweet. ) walks from New York to San Francisco - the jovial tune "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (you know, the crazy gypsy wanderluster musicians who we recently interviewed drawing fantastical portraits of eachother?)

The video gives you a bird's eye perspective into his inspiring journey from the East coast, through the great plains of the Midwest, onto the bright lights of Vegas to his final destination- the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. Check it out:

FYI: They used 2700+ photographs to complete this flic and they mapped out their journey here.

NYC's edition of HARD fest landed on one of the hottest days NYC will see this summer, but that didn't stop kids from raging early into Sunday morning on Governors Island. M.I.A., Die Antwoord, Sleigh Bells, Theophilus London, and Ninja Sonik and more F.O.M,s (Friends of M.I.A) performed back-to-back sets for the post-rave jilted generation. Though M.I.A.'s set was crippled by rain, sound issues and some stage antics of pretty bad taste (she spit directly onto a poor photog who then used the pictorial evidence as revenge), the rest of the performances went off without a hitch. And even though M.I.A's set was imperfect, she's promised via Twitter that she's gonna give a free show - sans sound problems - next times she's in NYC. Who can complain about that...?

PS If you missed out on the dubstep/hip-hop/dance madness, make your way to HARD's Los Angeles event in August.

Back in the 70s, Los Angeles became the main hub for the "Lowbrow" art movement. At the time, Los Angeles was unrestrained from following any art rules - because it had never been able to compete prior to art meccas like New York City and Paris.&n...
