Should I just go ahead and make a Tellier category in my blog? Seems like there’s been a lot of posts… but hey, who can resist this accessory? This giant bust is made out of mirror and plexi and was designed by Yaz and Emel of Yazbukey, “Ottoman princesses and descendants of Mehmet Ali Pasha King of Egypt” who now live in Paris, according to their bio.

Mike Mills: Graphics Films is the first retrospective monograph covering fifteen years of Mills’ work in the fields of graphic design, film and art. The book includes album cover designs that have become part of our cultural landscape, such as work for The Beastie Boys, Beck, Sonic Youth, as well as his covers and videos for the French band Air. Also included are graphics, textiles, and t-shirts for Marc Jacobs, X-Girl, and Humans, as well as rarely seen documentation of his fine art work and worldwide exhibitions.
I don’t think this is ironic. Lindsey Lohan, what’s going on? I kind of love it.
Playgroup is Trevor Jackson, my homie from London. I first met Trevor after he remixed Chromeo’s first single “You’re So Gangsta”. His “DJ Kicks” CD is one of my favorite DJ mixes, and I recently discovered this mix of his from 2001. It’s every classic old school party jam you can imagine quickly edited back-to-back. Name them all! I know I can’t…
To download it go to www.trevor-jackson.com > Extras > DJ Mixes.
The official release date for Infinity +1 is March 31st but in the US there’s an exclusive iTunes pre-release as of yesterday so my mix CD is available now! We’re already #2 on the iTunes dance chart. Kaskade, I’m coming for that azz, NH.

Hello Fader friends! I took a couple of weeks off from my Around The World column because, well, I wasn’t going around the world that much. I was mostly recording, first finishing up my Infinity +1 and Fabriclive mix CDs that are both dropping in 2 weeks, and then starting cooking up some new material for the year. I did travel a little bit. I went to visit my family in Canada.
Taken from Craigslist:
“I was at the A-Trak show at Studio B last night with my two friends, you were there with a bunch of guys. You had on a black shirt, jeans and wingtips (I have this thing about shoes, if I don’t like your shoes I’m not likely to give you the time of day.) I wore a white t-shirt, black pants and white Nikes. Before the show started, we were sitting in one of the lounge areas and I repeatedly caught you looking at me so I acted all shy and avoided eye contact because I’m really good at that. A few hours and several drinks later, I had trouble maintaining the shyness and found you on the dance floor. I admit it, meeting up was no accident, I went looking for you. We danced and…stuff. You seemed into it - I certainly was - then it occurred to me that I should find my friends because it would have been a pain in the ass to find my way home without them, so I wandered off and lost you. I’m pretty good at that too. Wish I’d gotten your number or, at the very least, your name. Sigh.”
My broham DJ Mehdi is starting a new series of interviews with buddies on his excellent blog, and I have the privilege of being the first subject/victim. Check it out! Of course by now you know that Mehdi and I are playing Studio B on Saturday in New York.
By the way that’s Bob Sinclair that we’re cuddling with above. I don’t know him. So it’s funny. To me it’s funny.
I just came back from a 2-day, spur-of-the-moment trip to Paris during fashion week. This wasn’t planned at all: the Infinity +1 tour starts in a few days so I was supposed to just stay home and get ready. But last Friday Kanye popped into New York for a Vanessa Beecroft art show that he helped curate, and I went to check it out and say hi to the homie. As the naked ladies were laying between the statues of naked ladies, he told me he was dipping to the airport to catch a flight to Paris. “You should come, it’ll be fun.” I gave the old “I wish I could go but my tour is about to start and I’ve got a million things to finish up” response. It was such a caricature, I was the “regular guy” in a Visa commercial who ponders the impulsive purchase for once in his life. I went home pensive, and when I woke up the next morning I thought “you know what? I’m going.”
