The 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class features a variety of high-profile acts, namely headlined by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Guns N’ Roses and Freddie King. The Beastie Boys nod is significant in the fact that very few hip-hop acts make it all the way to Cleveland, Ohio. Notable snubs for this year were The Cure as well as Eric B. and Rakim. The induction ceremony is slated to be held on April 14 and will then air on HBO in May. See the entire class below:

Guns N’ Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Donovan
Laura Nyro
The Small Faces/The Faces
Beastie Boys
Freddie King
Don Kirshner
Cosimo Matassa
Tom Dowd
Glyn Johns

Hot Blocks & Hot Lights with Odd Future's primary photographer Julian Berman

In his role as Odd Future’s primary photographer, Julian Berman has become a phenomenon of sorts within photography. The Los Angeles native, although bogged down by the commitments of school, has managed to produce a fair amount of quality work, which has been featured in XXL and on the cover of Billboard. In light of the release of the book, Golf Wang, that features his work, we caught up with Berman to, among other things, talk about what exactly Odd Future is, and discuss his work outside of Odd Future.

A Day With Jon Warren

Head of Design for Vans Footwear responsible for creative direction of Vault, California Collection, Vault, and Syndicate. I’m originally from Chicago but have lived on the West Coast long enough to call it home. I started taking photographs as a way to remember the feeling of a trip or the subject matter I was interested in. It’s been evolving into an artistic expression of how I see things. I’m an old skateboarder who gets to make his living designing sneakers & shooting photos… it’s a honor and I am grateful for it everyday. Here’s a little peak into one of the many days of the year, keep traveling and living in the moment…
