Lykke Li: “I’m Good I’m Gone” Video

I love Lykke Li’s sound, and I really wish I was in Sweden today so I could buy her new album. But alas I am in Los Angeles. Until it somehow crosses the sea to me (I’m gonna bite the bullet and order it), this video will have to do. It starts off a little [...]

3D Graffiti

I have no idea what the text in this video is saying, but it is an incredible concept. Check out this guys real world graffiti here (via Complex).

Vampire Weekend and My Brian

I’ve had a version of Vampire Weekend’s new album (BUY IT NOW) for a while (that Blue CD-R that ended up on so many 007 best-of’s) but recently I can’t stop listening to it. It is a pop masterpiece. I love it to death. I really do. Every song is so well constructed and open [...]

Videos I Have Liked Recently



Sleeveface

Very cool concept here. Some of them are pulled off amazingly (via Line Out).
UPDATE: There is a whole flickr gallery of these here. Love it.

J Dilla: “Nothing Like This” Video

This video is so lush and trippy, and the beat is unreal. I’m stoked for In Living the True Gods (quasi-via GvB).

Ball Bearing Drum Machine

Via Kanye, this is such a beautiful sight to behold. So simple and exquisite in terms of design. I love it.
Regular blogging will return shortly, still adjusting to being back in LA and taking care of various errands…

Music from 2007

I decided to suck it up and do this. None of these are ranked. One didn’t even come out in 2007. I also really don’t want to talk about why - too much writing. These are the albums (i.e. full complete realized albums) that got me excited the most over the past year. Here they [...]

La Jetée

My good buddy Garret just started a blog and posted about La Jetée, an absolutely mind blowing sci-fi short by Chris Marker. When I first saw the film, it wasn’t really available on DVD (although I tried to get it off some out of print collection and its now available through Criterion) but Garret’s post [...]
