In honor of the tickets I bought today for My Bloody Valentine's two Santa Monica gigs, I share with you "Only Shallow", classic MBV from the landmark album, Loveless. In 1991, when I was a sophomore at University, this album was on heavy rotation with my suitemates. 17 years later, I can guarantee you, we're all still listening to it.
Back in 1996, while watching "La Haine" Silvio would tell me, "That's where I'm from". Fast forward 12 years and according to director Romain-Gavras, the Parisian projects are looking rougher and bleaker than ever. Big ups to R-G (can you really be only 26 years old?!) and JUSTICE for another great video!
Thanks to JDF for showing me this video. And for pointing out the "Man Bites Dog" comparison.
Radiohead and MTV EXIT have produced a music video for "All I Need," from "In Rainbows" to premiere on MTV globally, May 1, 2008.
From the MTV EXIT website: MTV EXIT is a campaign about freedom -- about our rights as human beings to choose where we live, where we work, who our friends are, and who we love. Most of us take these freedoms for granted, but hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world have had these basic human rights taken away. They are victims of trafficking – modern-day slaves -- and criminals have forced, defrauded, or coerced them into various forms of labor, or prostitution.
Other musicians and creatives have donated songs and time to the cause. You can learn more here.
No you're not drunk or tripping. The new Animal Collective music vid directed by Andrew Kuo is moving that quickly, is that colorful and takes focus to another level.
If this happy song, "I Like You" by Japanese musician DJ Codomo was piped into our studio throughout the day, I bet we would all walk around with an extra spring in our step. If you'd like to hear some more, check out the fun song he mixed for my friends at Kiiiiiii!

w00t! I mean, tw33t, tw33t! CommonCraft's gone ahead and explained Twitter in simple English for the technology-layman. I no longer have to explain Twitter to others as, "It's similar to the status message under your IM handle."
I'm on Twitter. But my posts are set to private. Sorry folks, but unless we're buddies in real life, no access for you!
New York artist and long time downtown collaborator, Andrew Kuo shared some insight about his work on this recent interview for Charlie Rose. It was interesting to learn that he was raised by untraditional Asian parents who encouraged and supported his love for the arts early on in life. While discussing criticism, Andrew had to say, "I'm super sensitive and if someone doesn't like my work, I get legitimately sad so I try not to find out." Awww! Congrats Andrew, on peeps noticing all your hard work!
I personally subscribe to the mobile phone culture of Japan over China, but you know, we've all been guilty of this at least once.
