This series from vicemag have been blowing my mind! Check out part two above and part one here . SOUND BUILDERS- DIEGO STOCCO In episode 2 of Sound Builders, we travel to Burbank, CA to hang out with sound designer and composer Diego Stocco. In addition to writing music for video games and little films like Terminator, Diego has committed his life to discovering hidden sounds in objects most people don't associate with music. He's used trees, sand, and cornflakes to produce unbelievably listenable compositions. In [...]

This is Trina's attempt at "class" and it falls flat on its face. Amazing is set not to be amazing. Filed under: Beats , Yankee Panky Tagged: amazing , art , artwork , cover , sleeve , trina

Cheyenne Marie (Mize) has a new 7 song EP out now, Before Lately , and I must say I've been waiting for this for a long time. We've said it before, she is one of our favorite local artists and possibly the most talented person alive. Everything she touches is amazing and this album is no different. You may have seen her play with Arnett Hollow, Ben Sollee, Bonnie "Prince" Billy or Thomas A. Minor & The Picket Line, but now she takes the stage front and center. All seven songs are original [...]

I love electronic music that comes from all over the map. When I talk about a Black Van , I am not talking about that creepy vehicle that is parked in front of your house at odd hours of the day. Rather, I am talking about an indie dance/nu disco project that brings together the minds of German electronic producers kowesix and Kris Menace as well as the hands of clapping dance floor urchins that love a little disco kick in their nightly shakedowns. The duo's "Yearning" is a cheese filled zinger released [...]

Justin Vernon = Above the Code ( download ) (from album Self Record ) In 2005 Justin Vernon recorded Self Record . The name couldn't speak more clearly about itself. Rough, homemade, and still somehow a total win. The man is magic. p.s. - I finally found the whole album. If you want it just email me .
The Wall. Bloated and self-indulgent, yet near perfect in its execution. Though I was only 4 years old when Pink Floyd first executed its extensive stage show in 1980, the concept album's legacy began to pervade my consciousness as soon as the beginning of middle school. It was then that I first began noticing the Wall's [...]

The GA2.0 software suite consists of (i) the Capture application (PC/OSX/Linux), which records graffiti tags in motion and exports them as .gml files; (ii) the Playback application (PC/OSX/Linux), which imports .gml files and creates data visualizations based on gestural graffiti movement and (iii) DustTag (the GA2.0 iPhone application), which captures graffiti tags and uploads them directly to 000000book.com , an open online database of .gml data. GA2.0 is an ongoing initiative that has been used to capture data from prominent graffiti writers including SEEN, TWIST, AMAZE, KETONE, JON ONE and KATSU, all of which can [...]

There's the tree house your Dad built for you in the backyard, and then there's the tree house Robert Harvey Oshatz built in the forests of Portland, Oregon. Designed in 1997 and completed in 2004, the Wilkinson Residence is in perfect harmony with its surroundings. Built on a steep sloping lot, the living space resides amongst the forest canopy, making your morning coffee most enjoyable. With more curves than Lombard Street, the Wilkinson Residence is a property you have to see to believe. A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of [...]

So I haven't posted diddly for awhile, real sorry. I some how fumbled myself into a 9 to 5 job. Bazaar, I know but I've learnt some valuable adult life skills by working an honest job. For Example. The majority of middle aged people are the most ridiculous people alive. Vent. Ok, now that ive written something bitter and without context, lets get started. Nash The Slash is the amazing invisible man look alike Canadian from the late 70's who I think is still kicking around today. He plays electric mandolins and whaling synth sounds. A no-wave, punk, [...]

Chaining Norwegian rent boys to walls aside, Boy George is a pretty good musician. Whether he is with his band The Culture Club or solo, he's always managed to churn up some good quality tunes like "The Crying Game," "Karma Chameleon" and "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" We also loved his album U Can Never B2 Straight with the Spanish-tinted song "She Was Never He." Anyway, he's back now to full glam dance with this collaboration with fado singer Ana Lains.
