What a trip this remix is from Shlohmo of Burial, its soo delicate and dark, its like he tippy toed around being completely careful of the original like a art handler at Christie’s.
Max Tundra and Mux Mool give us another reason to play out two of the most crowd pleasing hits from the 20th Century.
Caribou goes minimalist on his Radiohead remix, sound like he’s been listening to some Raster-Noton.
Scott’s trip to Graz for the recent Springfestival inspired me to take a walk through my hometown of San Mateo to see what visual inspiration I could find. One thing that’s always fascinated me is the beautiful mural decorating the front of the local Bank of America.
Consisting of 5 panels, 25′ high and approximately 90′ across, the mural was designed by Louis Macouillard and set by Alphonso Pardinas in glass tile. The panels tell the story of A. P. Giannini, the founder of the Bank of Italy (what would later become the Bank of America) who moved the bank’s records and cash to San Mateo after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
These pictures don’t really do it justice, so for the two of you who happen to pass through San Mateo it’s worth checking out. Anyone else have any cool hometown design gems to share?
I am in awe over the detail in Ricky Allman’s work, makes me want to go pick up some oils and canvas.
I’m a fan of Aaron Ruell’s vision, he fakes retro in a very plastic & clean way. Some of his best work with Napoleon Dynamite I think we’ve overlooked since we’ve seen it soo many times in ads but after looking at them closely again i’m amazed at how well the color schemes are put together.
Besides approaching the most pressing issue of our time from a very interesting perspective, this video by Markus Kayser is absolutely stunning from a visual perspective. Kayser harnesses raw solar energy to produce glass objects using via a 3D printing process.
Fascinating. It’s visuals like these (and these) that make me realize I need to spend a lot more time in the desert taking pictures.
You may have heard the buzz about Araabmuzik, I guess he’s just a kid from Harlem that posted himself playing on the MPC on youtube and grabbed the attention on some Top 40 rappers. I personally just like to watch him play the hi-hats for 7 minutes but I thought i’d share this mixtape with you just as a change of pace on the blog, #thuggish_mondays.
I’ve been waiting for this new Horrors album all year and now its available to listen to all the way thru, just on track one right now I hope others have been waiting and are excited about this as well, its out on XL on August 9th.
Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life opens across the US tomorrow, and these stills for the film look amazing. I’ve purposely been avoiding any news on it so I wouldn’t build up any expectations, but I couldn’t help but look at these images. I rarely go out to watch movies anymore thanks to Netflix, but this looks like something that would really benefit from a trip to the theater.

Slowly this Homework is becoming my summer house jam, once it gets going its hard not to dance in your seat.
Are you sick of the average sounding vocals of summer time or want a different take on the darker side of that VHS to tape 80s sound? 18 Carat Affair is your go to then.
Biosphere is back with another lush album, I keep forgetting how big of an influence he has been on my taste for ambient music over the years. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I’ve been meaning to try and catch Daniel Klag live in Brooklyn, he has an interesting flow and growth to his tracks, i’m always a sucker for that low hum.
Back it on Kickstarter and get some crystals
