This past winter, I assembled a small renegade film crew to take the 16 hour round trip drive from NYC to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The mission? Document the world’s largest record collection before it went away…one way or another.
The owner of the collection is a very interesting man by the name of Paul Mawhinney. Here is his story. Enjoy.

I know Jeff is a big fan of Berlin. I wonder though if he’s aware that Germany’s premier soccer league – The Bundesliga – is in my opinion the best soccer league in the world.
In the big 4 of North American sports – Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey – the league administrators can even the playing field somewhat with measures such as a player draft and a salary cap. Even though it doesn’t work perfectly, over time you tend to see a larger spread of success, rather than 1-2 teams continually dominating their respective sports.
This regulatory system is impossible to impose in world soccer, simply because it is the world’s game. You would need all of the major soccer federations – hundreds of them – to work together. It will never happen.
So rich clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona have domintated their respective leagues simply because they can outspend everyone else without restriction. So what if the football club as a business loses $100m a year, when sugar daddy owners can just pump more money in as and when?
The Bundesliga is different. They have strict rules about the ownership structure of their clubs, thus a majority of the clubs are owned by the fans as shareholders. They have the most affordable ticket prices amongst the big European leagues, meaning families are still able to attend. This sets the league up for commercial success for generations to come.
The stadium atmospheres are incredible simply because ‘real’ fans have not been pushed out on the basis that they can’t afford to attend.
Importantly all of these factors have also led to a ‘spread of success’ – 6 different teams have been champions of Germany in the last decade.
My team, Schalke 04, is not one of these teams, though they came agonisingly close in the 2001 season. Schalke had not been champions since 1958, but after victory in their final game of 2001 their fans believed the drought was over. They rushed the field, cheered and cried, hugged and embraced. For a few brief moments it was sporting bliss. Little did they know that Bayern Munich, their big rivals, were still playing their final game. With the last kick of that match, of the season, Bayern scored to snatch a draw and cement themselves as champions.
This youtube clip was the shortest I could find, and it’s in German, but the emotion is crystal clear. For Schalke fans the ultimate joy, followed by heartbreak and utter devastation all in a matter of minutes. Cruel yes, but hey that’s what being a sports fan is all about.

DJ Clark Kent is back at it again. His newest mix titled, “Black In The New York Groove” is a compilation of New York’s freshest sounds. Produced by Black Apple, here’s what they have to say: “Based on the classic KISS record “Back In The New York Groove,” this musical journey, led by DJ Clark Kent takes the listener through all 5 boroughs of the Black Apple featuring a bonafide collection of some of the best songs inspired by New York City. Everyone from Judy Garland to Slaughter and The Dogs to NY Dolls to Rakim shares a the spotlight explaining their love affair with NYC.”
I was fortunate to work on the art for this project, producing a series of 7 custom illustrated covers for the online mix. The cover includes portrait illustrations of some of New York’s most iconic figures such as Mike Tyson, Spike Lee, Woody Allen and more. Following the “New York City” theme, the portraits were placed on a pizza box design. With the waterdown, silkscreen feel is reminiscent of a box you can pick up at your local pizzeria.
Download the mix here, along with artwork for the covers.

Here’s a recap vid from the last CLASSIC SESSIONS NYC featuring the SUPER talented BrandUn DeShay and his band. We teamed them up with the amazing illustration crew The Collabros on the art tip.
What’s CLASSIC SESSIONS? Reed Space and Reebok came together to create a physical public space where the Music and the Art can literally meet. Each session is a pairing of an artist and a musician. They meet, chat, rap and just build off each other. Then they go off and create based off that meeting.
We’ve converted a classic LES, NYC storefront to become a recording studio and gallery space. The art is done right on the walls of the gallery space. The music is actually recorded inside the same space. And everything plays out for the public to see and interact with. After a few weeks, it all comes down and we do it all over again with a new pairing. That’s it. It’s not a store. We don’t need your Facebook account and you don’t have to sign in with Foursquare. It’s just a space to BUILD.
The results? CLASSIC.
