James Blake: “The Limit to Your Love (Feist cover)”, directed by Martin de Thurah. I’ve been hoping and waiting for an official recording of this cover for over a year now, since first hearing and being crushed by the opening few minutes of James Blake’s contribution to the Electronic Explorations Podcast. So I’m incredibly thrilled to find out that it’s going...

Homemade Spacecraft Helvetica/Objectified/Urbanized cinematographer Luke Geissbühler is really a science geek at heart. He and his 5-year-old son Max, along with a few friends, made a homemade spacecraft out of a Thai food takeout container, outfitted it with an HD video camera and an iPhone, and a few weeks ago used a weather balloon to launch it into the stratosphere.

Here’s a mesmerizing new video for Violens’ track “Acid Reign (In the Trees Mix)”. It was directed by Chairlift’s Caroline Polachek, who you may remember already collaborated w/ Violens member Jorge Elbrecht for that incredible Bieber headtrip under the SGINNED psuedonym. Love the unwavering closeup, the bleached out colors and ghost trails. And that dangly earring,...

Frank Chimero: There is a Horse in the Apple Store →

There is a horse in the Apple Store and no one sees it but me. I think, “Why?” What is the villain here that blinds all of these people to this situation? Am I nuts for thinking this is exceptional? Does anyone else see this? Did I accidentally drop acid and not realize? I must take a photo….

Don’t know how I missed when this up. I was keeping an ear out for it for quite awhile and nothing ever went up. Then I don’t get any e-mails or Twitter updates from them for awhile, I randomly poke my head in on their website again this morning, and there it is! TRACKLIST: 1.

Just added Michael Weinreb’s Bigger Than the Game to my book queue, after reading an interview with Weinreb at Sports Crackle Pop. I mean, I remember reading McMahon: The Bare Truth About Chicago’s Brashest Bear while I was in fifth grade. I carefully kept this card double-protected in soft nylon and hard plastic. And don’t get me going on Tecmo Bo. This book’ll be right...

Aquarium Drunkard, Sevens: Hum/Stars →

Check out the latest entry in Aquarium Drunkard’s Sevens series, which reflects on legendary 90s-alternative band Hum and their big radio hit, “Stars”. How awesome was this band? There was a year when I was in college when I was absolutely obsessed with them. I remember during a visit home to NH, I attended WAAF’s Big Field Day 1998 concert in Lowell, MA with some...

The Ballad of Colton Harris-Moore →

It would be well worth your time to read this fascinating article from the January 2010 issue of Outside Magazine: Bob Friel’s The Ballad of Colton Harris-Moore. Friel has been following the story of Harris-Moore for a long time now. The article is basically what got Friel the book deal for Taking Flight: The Hunt for a Young Outlaw (in the works), the film rights of which were recently...

We Are All Witnesses, Sadly

“Only in America could we keep inventing reality TV that fantastically outshames the previous low mark. A prime-time event? To announce a free-agent signing? And don’t point out that some proceeds go to charity. You want to give to charity, quietly write a check. Don’t get a network to do it for you so it gets to pump its shows and you get to shower yourself in international...

In Defense of: Craig Kilborn →

Kilborn is smug, sarcastic, probably likes the sounds of his voice too much and isn’t always fully engaged with the people he is interviewing. I have to point out here that I think these are positive traits, not shortcomings. He’s doing his own thing, and I appreciate that. Kilborn is not another cookie-cutter host, one who is going to come out and do a monologue, then go to a...

Great article by “The Sports Guy.” Really sums up a lot of what I’ve felt while watching the Cup so far. I even got a hint of chills at the end of the story, as he was recalling the reaction by fans across the country after that Donovan goal against Algeria in injury time. That doesn’t happen very often to me (if ever at all) while I’m a reading a piece of sports...
