Industrial Lovin'

I've been taking a contact improv dance class this semester, and it's been all sorts of revelational. Guess when you touch other people you touch yourself. Either way, this one is sure to leave you wanting to be able to roll all over someone while maintaining some healthy boundaries... or not.

ps. Let the tunes check your head.
pss. Let the cinematography compartmentalize your head.
psss. Let the rib-cages move you. It's worth the ride.

Of Course, it's Raining

I'm not a huge R&B guy, but How to Dress Well has pretty much smitten me since their release of "Total Loss" back in September. Came across a great collaboration between Pitchfork (love 'em, hate 'em, at least they helped produce this) and one of my personal favorites, La Blogotheque.

Swoon.

Now: On Repeat (fitting, eh?)

Easily one of my favorite songs on easily one of the best albums of the year now has, easily, one of the trippiest video's of recent memory. Drugs? Something like that...

Mad Press

Look! We made it big!

Hands

Get out. It's too good. Slangin' clay like it's a child; kid raised right from the looks of it.

It's a story, which, in my opinion, we are all always in need of. Watch his hands nurture the clay. Listen to her voice - it cares. It might be because, as she says, they have the perfect life.

Time-lapses aren't exactly old news, but if you're a complete Vimeo whore (*cough cough* me) then you've seen it all. That's why I surprised at how surprised I was by this latest find on Wyoming's seemingly pre-historic backcountry. Maybe it's the dub-step that drops 3/4 through. Which is even more surprising, because I normally can't stand dub-step. One thing's for sure: this sucka is catchy.

Standard.

Need to shout out to all that is Gadfly. Fantastische new schtick from Matt. What's new, you ask? Not shit, so just get to readin'

Stay Fly

Take 60 mins. Unlike others, it'll be worth more. Feels like a life-time's worth of experience. Fly-Lo's most recent album, Until the Quiet Comes, is bonkers. Recent illuminations include..."creating new music is the best meditation. When I'm able to get into that space, nothing else matters, and I'm just a vessel for whatever the message is; I feel like I'm not in control. It's like this organic communication, and I feel like that is the quiet, in a way...I try to convey this feeling of being innocent in a mystical state, being in a place that's new, seeing things with brand new eyes, for better or worse. I just imagine this little kid floating on a beautiful king-size bed over the city at night, seeing all sorts of crazy stuff happening in the world."

Not trying to put any preconceived notions out there about him, but Fly-Lo's shit is on some other shit. On making beats - "It's like an orgasm, man-- if it lasted forever, it wouldn't be awesome. Actually, an orgasm would be awesome if it lasted forever." You'll wish 60 minutes never ended. 

The Incredible Mess

I ride motorcycles. It's fun. But, I don't do them - know them. And it's not the cinematography or background music that make this short film so affective. It's him. His "gutter-punk or apocalypse punk" aesthetic. His truths - "It's not the pride of ownership, it's the pride of learning, of building something." And then there's that moment when, as if surprised at himself, he barely whispers, "Oh that's beautiful".

"This bike has nothing to do with what I talk about. When I'm out in the workshop... time stands still. Its my world - there's nothing. No politics, no wars - its just this. Its a kind of mediation for me. Its that simple. Its the end of the story, there is nothing more."

Pub Shit

When he takes a sip before he starts - it's such a thick moment. Check the shot shortly after of the pictures on the ceiling halo-ing his dome piece. Oh yeah, I guess you could also check out his voice. Money #punsonpunsonpuns
