Photos by G. Ida No and Johnny Jewel of Glass Candy It's stories like the one I am about to share that restore my faith in humanity! On February 10, 2012, Portland's Italo disco-duo Glass Candy performed a very exclusive show at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York to kick off Fashion Week. When the evening began, I had no idea what I was in for. A couple of my friends, whose advice I listen to, are really big fans of Glass Candy, so I assumed with that [...]
Italians Do It Better co-honcho Johnny Jewel hit a pop cultural sweet spot last year, making in-roads with the Gossling demo by landing one of his Chromatics tracks on the much-loved Drive OST. His stardusted and narcotic Italo production style seemed to influence a lot of that soundtrack; in fact, the lesser known and more recent Jewel vehicle, Desire, had a song on in it as well ("Under Your Spell"). Desire is Jewell with fellow Chromatic Nat Walker and vocalist Megan Louise, and here they are with the video for the glam electro-strut cut "Don't Call." It's [...]

![[Review/Listen] – Symmetry – "Themes For An Imaginary Film"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4003292_lg.jpg)
Tweet Symmetr y is the pseudonym of Johnny Jewel (as if "Johnny Jewel" wasn't good enough), who is the brains behind Glass Candy , Chromatics , and is responsible for the whole of the Italians Do It Better vision. In 2007 Jewel became something of an icon to me. 2007 saw the release of "B/E/A/T/B/O/X/" by Glass Candy and "Night Drive" by Chromatics , two impeccable disco albums [...]
Directed by Alberto Rossini, here's a nice driving video for "Over The Edge". This track is taken from Johnny Jewel's and Nat Walker's (of Chromatics and Desire) "Symmetry - Themes For An Imaginary Film" project. It features 37-tracks of "claustrophobic cinematic bliss" and it was released back in December via Italians Do It Better. "Symmetry" isn't Jewel's score for Nicolas Refn's latest film "Drive". In case you haven't heard it yet, stream the entire release here and drive through the night. Excellent release.

We've tried them, and have to admit it - year end lists kind of suck. But then, we have a blog and we feel like we should at least try to recap the year, hopefully with a nod to the future. It's easy to gush about our favorite things, but hard to have to rank [...]
Artwork by Dalila Couto A couple weeks ago we asked our followers what were their favorite tracks of 2011. We could have done our own top, but we have decided people should tell us, because all blogs are doing their own charts. If there is any track missing, we apologize for it, but i think everyone is included. Anyway, we have also contributed with our favorites. No doubts 2011 was an excellent year. Here we only have originals, during this week we are going to blog as well all the remixes. For sure [...]
First off, Happy New Year folks. As you may have noticed, if you've been visiting the site over the holidays, the number of posts were low for obvious reasons. It's the holidays and I was... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com

Com os meus mais sinceros votos de um MEGA-FELIZ 2012 a todos, termino este ano com o desejo que possamos, com muita felicidade, passar por todas as estações do ano com muita alegria, paz, amor e saúde, sem que esqueçamos, apesar de toda esta situação louco-financeira, de todos os maravilhosos momentos de 2011, sem ser necessário fazer lóbi. Em jeito de despedida e terminando o balanço do
Artwork: Yannis Dragasakis La.Ga.Sta. offered its services to many weary travellers once more this year. By "following rivers" they drove "through the green" and found themselves in "English Riviera" only to come back again to our station for another refill. Taking a Friday drive down this year's memory lane, we think back on our numerous stops including among others: Our after-hours, absolutely wicked dj set in the VIP room of Melt! Festival. We might have missed Cut Copy's performance but we certainly had a blast. Shout out to T.E.E.D., Azari & III, [...]
something special by Johhny Jewel & Nat Walker as they say: - Three years in the making, Symmetry - the project that began as a conceptual tangent between Glass Candy, Chromatics, Mirage, & Desire's more abstract sides - finally sees its release this month. Themes For An Imaginary Film is two hours of claustrophobic cinematic bliss compiled for Painters, Writers, Photographers, Designers, Cruisers, Night Walkers, & Dreamers. Adrenaline drips thick like syrup across a horizon where memories become blurred scenes behind the windshield & yesterday's faces fade as the road [...]
15. Azealia Banks - 212 Anyone who thought that female fronted electro-rap had run it's course was forced to eat their metaphorical hat this year when Azealia Banks ' '2122 swiftly went viral. Like a showreel, the record demonstrated a multitude of talents - from tough as nails and filthy as hell Harlem rap, to an impressive R&B croon to a pretty aggressive battlecry. And all of this whilst delivering one of the biggest party bangers in recent memory. We're hyped to see what Azealia's Paul Epworth -produced album will sound like and with [...]
Johnny Jewel just debuted his sprawling two hour plus project SYMMETRY Themes For An Imaginary Film , which features Glass Candy and Chromatics, as well as like-minded artists Desire and Mirage. Rumor has it that this was intended to be the score for the film Drive , though Italians Do It Better have issued a statement denying the claim. Either way, this is pretty awesome. Listen to the entire score below or buy it on iTunes. SYMMETRY / THEMES FOR AN IMAGINARY FILM by [...]
Após a divulgação dos álbuns que mais me agradaram este ano e dos concertos que mais gostei em 2011, altura para divulgar a lista dos EPs/Mini-Álbuns que mais me conquistaram durante este ano. Acreditem que em 2011, dei muito mais valor a este tipo de lançamentos do que a álbuns inteiros, como aliás já havia aqui mencionado. Segue-se então a lista dos 10 mais interessantes EPs/
Johnny Jewel & Nat Walker son los tipos detras de este proyecto llamado Symmetry - Themes For An Imaginary Film el cual, basicamente se trata de un soundtrack de una pelicula que como su nombre lo dice, no existe pero que sin embargo, si fuera una pelicula real estariamos hablando de uno de los mejores soundtracks de los ultimos años. Todo el personal de Italians Do It Better esta involucrado dentro de la composicion de cada uno de los 37 tracks que aparecen aqui abajo y, si ustedes no estan taaan familiarizados con el catalogo de este sello o, tal [...]
