Shanetron.

Chicago 2016
In memory of
Derrion Albert

My name is Shane, and it's been lengthened to Shanetron by other people throughout my life, so I've co-opted it.

I give Bad Advice and I sometimes day dream about Things We'd Do With A DeLorean, we being my friend Ben and I.

~~I live in Chicago, and I have formerly attended SAIC.~~

I'm 22 right now, but I'll be young forever.

I'm interested in the things that give me the LOLZ, giving others the LOLZ, music, remixing music, Drank Beverage, contemporary art, contemporary fashion, graphic design, being fussy, crucial hangs and bedroom moshing.

If you're reading this and it isn't in Futura, my bad.

Lady Gaga & Beyonce - Telephone

This is probably my least favorite song on The Fame Monster (hey, when did I have a favorite song on The Fame Monster?), but the visuals from the House of Gaga made the song much more enjoyable. The Kill Bill theme was exciting, the costumes were great, the Amber Rose look-alike was a big get. It’s a fun music video that may do nothing more than explain why a lot of calls have gone missed lately.

Bright Eyes - Happy Accident

Sometimes, an artist’s outlook for growth is different than the average listener’s. When that road forks out, between where you think they’re going and where they want to go, it gets unnerving. You’ll keep up with releases to see if they’re back to your comfort zone, back on track, but sometimes, they’re content with the left. You’ll move on, champ.

One of My Kind was a great postcard, but Happy Accident brings Conor back from Outer South, it seems, back to a basement in Omaha, which brings me back.

I’m ecstatic.

Nike Air Royalty Macarons Pack

If it’s not well made pastries, it’s Spring, and if it isn’t Spring, it’s Easter that has me craving these shoes.

Does anyone think they sell size 13s in Paris?

Hermès Fall 2010

To be honest, I wasn’t wowed until the second or third look. But after one viewing, I really want a leather tie and a crocodile coat, but who wouldn’t?

We should have seen this coming when Pharrell showed off his Hermès beige crocodile hoody, but here I am 6 months later, still amazed.

Yeasayer - O.N.E.

Fact: the song wrecks so much, the video could’ve been a Fireplace DVD and I would’ve found something to like about it.

What makes me really love this video is past fashion meeting future technology. It’s done so well here, and the color palette is put together so well. Whenever a video like this is done, I’m always amazed by the futuristic musical instruments, mainly because I think it’s the art direction that really pushes for future technology. My eyes bugged when I saw Daft Punk with Kanye at the Grammy’s (at 2:50ish), and my eyes did the same thing for Yeasayer.

YAY, “FUTURE”.

Chanel Fall 2010

The Caves, The White, The Blue, The Fur, The Textures, The Color Palette, The Models.

It’s perfect.

As a boy, I can’t help but think of wampas, jedis and Hoth.

- Tao Lin by Noah Kalina

I really enjoy Tao Lin’s writing.

It first started with Shoplifting From American Apparel, Octoberish last year, with a single sitting upstairs at the Noble Tree, right around the time they started turning the heat on. This prompted me to buy Bed, but this time around I am not making the same mistake. Instead, I am reading them as slow as possible to merely savor it. It’s taken me since November to wander through three short stories, and I don’t regret this slow reading pattern.

Jay Electronica walking through New Orleans

It’s so mind boggling to think that, in America, there is a whole section of an entire city displaced. It really paints the picture of Exhibit A, which is added at the end.

Sidenote: How cool is it that Jay lit a cigarette, took a drag, and gave it away to somebody in the audience? It wasn’t the first time either! He split a bottle of Jack with an audience during his recent outing in London.

Tron: Legacy trailer (03/09/10)

I was initially only really excited for this film because Daft Punk is sound tracking it, but now that I know it’s going to be a campy Disney affair, set in the future, with Daft Punk soundtracking? Its only competition (thus far) is Toy Story 3.
