Last week while commuting in to work I was lucky enough to hear this new track called ‘Saying Goodbye’ by the Greenhornes on KEXP radio. It was a clear morning, and Mt. Rainier was not only beaming in the rising sun (which is impressive enough), it was also sporting a massively epic plume of snow [...]

The smart and entertaining illustration/poster design series above is coming from a Toronto based illustrator named James Alexander and designer Glenn Michael of Moxy Creative House. The concept is great. In short, it’s a series of posters documenting the the style of music featuring iconic outfits from 20 male musicians. Shown above, is the main poster [...] 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 [...] 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 – 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 [...] 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 [...] These awesome psychedelic illustrations of Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix were created by illustrator/designer Andrés Yeah. I discovered one of his works on yayeveryday.com and tracked him back to his Flickr pool where there are so many other amazing works to view. His style varies from clean elegant illustration/typography to absolute chaos garnished with spattered [...] I’ve been collecting silkscreen rock posters for a bunch of years and have just now encountered the work of Dan Stiles. His graphics are punchy, inventive and timeless. I’m really drawn to his taste in color as well. Hmmmm. I’ll have to figure out how to create more wall space at home for some of [...] WOOD from mc bess on Vimeo. The above music video animation was created by illustrator/designer Matthieu Bessudo, aka Mcbess and his sidekick Simon Landrein. The combination of 3d animation and the retro-billy-biker illustration really captures one’s attention as Matthieu Bessudo’s band ‘The Dead Pirates’ rock out with authority. Be sure to check out MCBess’s site while [...] Death Cab for Cutie – Little Bribes from Ross Ching on Vimeo. This video is full of great eye-candy -> city lights, stop motion, light painting, M&Ms dancing wildly… all to a peppy track from a great band (Death Cab for Cutie). It’s all happening. Definitely worth a view or two. Side note: it sounds like Ross [...] Matt and Kim are a musical dynamic duo from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2004, probably best known for their up-beat creation called “Daylight”. They have a lo-fi tricked out, analog, keyboard, quirky, smashing drum kind of playful sound to them. They remind me of “the Rentals” a bit. Seen here, super casual and just [...] Before you press play, I must admit that the first time I heard Ponytail I thought their sound was complete garbage noise that could easily be reproduced by Zoo animals. Maybe even wounded, drunk and stoned Zoo animals. But now that I have gone back to feed a few times it has started to sink [...] The track “Tyrants” by Vancouver based band Black Mountain is a couple of years old now but this is the first time I’ve found a quality recording/filming of it on any of the online video sites. Thanks to pitchfork.com/tv I now have a whole concert that I can watch in a series of videos. Ever [...] The older you get the tougher it gets to stumble upon great new music. At least for me (and no, I’m not that old). I do have less time to hang out at the record store or surf Myspace and Pitchforkmedia.com because of my hobbyist photography habit, recording weird music habit, riding my bike [...] |
