The folks over at Mexican Elephant have come up with a great t-shirt slogan that might ring true to some and might infuriate others. But, in any case, it's debatable social commentary and it comes in pink. So, what's not to like. It's for 18 KD ($63 approximately) and you can get it at their website . Also, go over to their Facebook page and become a fan for further updates. Posted in Fash, The Q & The 8 Tagged: elephant, kuwait, lazy, mexican, shirt
Before this Washington-based quartet changed their name to The Nightgowns, they went under The Elephants. It was an especially apt name for them at the time, especially since they were renowned more for circus tricks than music at the time. Although their musical potential was evident from the get-go, The Elephants' first etchings of a [...]
Polytechnique There is often debate over what real-life events should and should not be covered on film. Regardless of whether the subject is war, genocide, rape, or murder, the fact that it is based on actual events takes away from the escapist element of cinema. This is why films, such as Denis Villeneuve's Polytechnique , often face a slew of harsh criticisms even before they are released. While some may feel that making a film based on real-life tragedy is insensitive to the victims and their [...]
The federal government announced today that in an effort to eradicate the national debt, it will be selling the state of Rhode Island to a group of private investors, for a reported $18 billion. The investors plan to enclose the entire state with an all-weather roof, and turn it into the world's largest shopping mall. When asked for comment, a White House spokesperson would only say, Well, at least we didn't sell it to the fucking Japanese. -Newswoman, Schizopolis Elephant - Eating Aphids
Future Dad Society is a really sweet group of dudes we grew up alongside in Los Angeles who have consistently been putting out my favorite jams from high school through the present. Although the tangible name of FDS is new, the bond between these bros and their relationship to the Los Angeles music scene that I grew up into was already obvious. Really stoked to see that they've launched a tumblr so that folks and friends can keep up with their sounds while they're in school or just doing their thing abroad. I recommend bookmarking the site and [...]

Warpaint son un grupo originario de Los Ángeles que en este 2009 lanzaron su EP debut llamado Exquisite Corpse , con el que han logrado llamar la atención en los círculos independientes, y no sólo gracias a la colaboración del ex Red Hot Chilli Peppers, John Frusciante. El nuevo sencillo de este EP es el tema "Elephants" , del que la banda acaba de presentar su vídeo promocional. Una producción muy simple, con la banda tocando la canción en unos vestidos (¿pijamas?) blancos y algunos efectos especiales. Creo que la [...]
[mp3] Warpaint: "Elephants" By far Warpaint is one of our favorite new bands around here and a clear standout for artist to watch consideration in 2010. While we're still fans of "Billie Holiday" for #1 Warpaint track, "Elephants" aint that far behind. Their EP Exquisite Corpse is out now on Manimal Vinyl. Counting the days till March 3 at Music Hall with Yeasayer and Akron Family. All tour dates after the jump. Via Fader Feb 5 2010 NATURAL HISTORY [...]
this is the makeshift memorial that some residents of my neighborhood established for the man murdered inside this shop, a scant 100 meters from the front entrance of my apartment building. to it i add (humbly, oh, humbly) a bit of wake/bar-room pre-witching hour rumination sing-along.

This band has been difficult to nail down as far as good quality YouTube vids, here's an awesome quality vid the band has posted on their channel. Them Crooked Vultures - Elephants
indie outfit The Elephants have been around for a bit but I am just now getting acquainted. Full of Peter,Bjorn, and John comparisons this group I feel distinguishes themselves a bit from that glaring comparison. Imagine green leaves instead of snow and woods that breathe warmth into you as you slowly make your way through as light cuts down from the canopy. Plus I like the name of the band as well.

Available on limited 12" and via digital download, the release features two vastly different tracks showcasing The Count & Sinden's eclectic taste and endless talents.

Slowly but surely I've been sorting out my mental stumbling blocks. There shall be no more harping on about them after today either! Just making sure that I extradite them all fully.

click image to view artist in itunes Sounds like: Peter Bjorn and John, Wilco, The Flaming Lips what's so good? With their second attempt at stardom, The Elephants have produced a glowing, peachy and melodic nine-track album that should do well to keep you entertained for about three-quarters of an hour. Based out of Copenhagen, the band is fronted by the dreamy vocals of Bjarke Bendtsen , who has an awesome name. Unfortunately, name alone isn't going to [...]

We had never seen an elephant give birth and it is truly a moving experience. It might be a little gory but it's uplifting towards the end. The calf cleans up pretty nicely. Posted in Asian Persuasion, Somethin' Diff Tagged: bali, birth, calf, elephant, give, indonesia, video, watch
Why is it that I always find it so incredibly difficult to get anything going on Mondays? Be it work, be it blogging or be it even life in general. Probably caused by the waking up early, getting kids to school plus kindergarten, rushing to get to work on time and the general lack of excitement about work; somewhat amazing how it only takes two days to get used to not going to work, but at least three or four to get used to be back "in action" again. And by then it's almost weekend. A vicious cycle if there [...]
