ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

At VTN, Jesse Hernandez showed me a trailer for Vinyl Addiction via his iPhone. Now, Episode 1 has hit the airwaves, and Jesse represents for the media (in a Bay Area T-shirt) when he interviews Marka27 about toys, culture, influences and collabos.

Jesse spent over a year working on the show for MYXtv (“The only music lifestyle channel embracing the entire Asian American Community.”). The show has its own website, vinyladdiction.tv, where you can find two other exclusive interviews from the first episode with Biddies creator Roy Miles and Joe Hahn of Linkin Park.

Vinyl addiction is a behind the scenes in depth view of the designer toy world, with information-packed artist interviews , art shows, profiles of our favorite stores, and a sneak peak into the art collections of some well known celebrities you may not have known were hard-core art collectors.

They’ve got interviews coming up with Greg “Craola” Simkins, Huck Gee, Frank Kozik, Brian Flynn, Gallery 1988, Munky King, MAD, Kano, DJ Qbert and many more. Even better, at under 5 minutes a piece, they can keep even my wandering attention. Check it out below:
