Liquify! -> Aira

LIQUIFY! by Aira from Aira on Vimeo.

To me, this video captures the epitome of summer play in a short but sweet span of 1:23 seconds. Well captured, filled with great light, color and interesting aquatic moments that take me back to the days of my favorite summers on the Jersey Shore. A great view for [...]

He's My Brother She's My Sister ->

I happened across this talented and tight little Los Angeles based group called ‘He’s My Brother She’s My Sister’ on a friends Facebook page the other day (thanks Chris!). They seem to be channeling some serious ragtime retro goodness from an era that has long since passed us by. The vocal styling, upright bass and [...]

Honeyee.com -> Web Magazine

If you’re looking for a new online resource for design, art, music, culture and fashion you may want to check out Honeyee.com. I like the simplicity of the site’s template which allows the imagery to speak loudly and not become diluted by a heavy site skin. The categories are pretty interesting as well, covering everything [...]

Tristan Perich -> 1-Bit Symphony

Tristan Perich: 1-Bit Symphony (Part 1: Overview) from Tristan Perich on Vimeo.

This is an interesting album concept by Tristan Perich that I found on yayeveryday.com this morning. In short the album is equipped and able to produce it’s own original music on the fly when the user turns it on. Be sure to adjust your [...]

Indie Album Poster Prints -> Noa Emberson

Honolulu based graphic designer Noa Emberson created these indie record cover poster prints as a personal tribute to his top twenty five indie albums. He’s included interesting information on each band and album as well as a nice typographic header that runs consistently throughout the collection, making them great collectibles. I see these as being [...]

OK Go -> End Love (Official Video)

I discovered this new video called ‘End Love’ by OK GO on a friend’s Facebook wall today (thanks Chris!). It’s definitely on par with what OK GO has smartly conjured up for themselves in the past, actually, this may be my new favorite video from them. Great slo-mo shots contrasted by high speed motion blur, and [...]

The Black Keys -> Tighten Up

The Black Keys – Tighten Up – Official Video from Chris Marrs Piliero on Vimeo.

I’ve been a ‘Black Keys’ fan since ‘The Big Come Up’ and ‘Thickfreakness’ days (2002-2003). It’s been a lot of fun to watch them evolve gracefully as a band over the years, they haven’t lost their dirty blues style. This video [...]

Metronomy 'On The Motorway' -> Jul & Mat

Metronomy – On The Motorway – by JUL & MAT from JUL & MAT on Vimeo.

This is an unofficial video for ‘On The Motorway’ ‘Metronomy’ (an 80s-ish pop group from the U.K.). This aspirational/upbeat instrumental track combined with the bright rhythmic splatters of fluorescent paint should help place some energy behind your clicks… If not, [...]

Clutchy Hopkins -> Verbal Headlock

Clutchy Hopkins – Verbal Headlock from Ubiquity Records on Vimeo.

The above track and stop motion video is from the new Clutchy Hopkins album “The Story Teller” on Ubiquity Records. Awarded among the year’s best on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide show on BBC Radio 1. Directed by Amsterdam based art director and film director Christian Borstlap (christianborstlap.com). [...]

Malaventura -> Audiovisual sampler (in action)

Malaventura’s Audiovisual sampler (in action) from malaventura on Vimeo.

This piece was recorded live and made with Quartz Composer for Video & Ableton Live for the audio. I’ve had an interest in monome, tonematrix and tenori-on music tech devices for some time now and was pretty blown away when I saw this video. I think the [...]

Alpha Pup -> Artist 'TAKE' Studio Tour

Alpha Pup presents TAKE [Studio Tour] from Alpha Pup on Vimeo.

This is a fun tour + some really interesting equipment tips coming from Alpha Pup recording artist ‘Take’ as he shows ‘Daddy Kev’ around his Hollywood studio. I don’t know about you, but there is nothing better than getting an inside look into a talented [...]

MOON8 -> Dark Side of The Moon (8 bit)

If your life has become as surreal as mine has lately, then you may need a dose of something so obscurely potent that it may cause your reality to jump the rail a bit and send you down a better track. Or maybe you just enjoy the digitally delicious and crunchy sounds of 8 bit [...]

Ben.MaZUé -> Obama

Ben.MaZUé – Obama from JUL & MAT on Vimeo.

I studied French for a couple years in school, unfortunately, I emerged from that course only being able to find the loo, hail a cab and maybe order some food. Having said that I’m not certain of what artist Ben.MaZUé is singing about in regard to Obama. [...]

Digging in the Crates -> Interactive Installation

Digging in the Crates from WE AIN’T PLASTIC on Vimeo.

This is an innovative and cleanly designed interactive visual interface that is applied to turntables in an effort to explore possible new production technologies for modern music. The video is a bit slow to get started but very interesting towards the middle and end. More detail [...]

Rock n' Roll Metro Map -> Infographic

Ever wonder which metro line you travel when it comes to your taste in Rock n’ Roll? I haven’t either… However, it seems, the whole subway/metro line infographic trend works as a visual analogy for an endless amount of categories and genres. This time applied to Rock n’ Roll. Why not? You can click through [...]
