Better were the days when an artist’s writing process could be to repeat the name of a comic-turned-movie for 7 minutes with scattered siren guitar solos and a Salsa break, and hit #1 on the charts. Gotta respect the Prince.

And Hot Chip’s Ready for the Floor, styled in homage.

Maps love.

Unique perspective of Coachella 2010.  The long shots and edit speeds used give this a synthetic but soft feel to an event with typically chaotic footage – enjoy.

Julian and Co killed it last night. After holding the crowd captive to 2 hours of elevator music before they took stage, energy was peaking and it definitely was reciprocated.

Devendra is back with the release What Will Be.  Video for Foolin’ is exactly what the start of summer needed.

Stumbled upon this interested series that WWII tire-turned-boot manufacturer Palladium is doing on explorations.  If you can tolerate the frequent tawdry interjections of shoe shots showing off their products, the series is really fascinating and the content enforces my policy that the most absurd/insane situations and places aren’t created in fiction, but are constantly happening all around us.  Stumbling through some apocalyptic scene isn’t only for Denzel, Viggo, and John Cusack, it’s for all of us… and it’s just on the other side of town.  Muuuuahaha.

Just a little something to brighten up everyone in the mid-west living under a blanket of rain and cold.  Wait, that’s home for me… it’s also a safe bet to say I have a strong affinity for the merriment of the female vocalist, ie in Luvvvvv.

I remember watching Zach Galifianakis’ parody mini-series a bit ago and had to find them again.  This episode with Natalie Portman is the jam.  Watch the rest of the series on Zach Galifianakis’ FOD.
