We're mere hours away from starting the weekend, and with the season finale of football over, we'll actually have to go outside. Luckily, there are tons of great shows, and many fundraising for a good cause, over the next few days. Let's get to it. FRIDAY SOFT SPEAKER The Brit pop-inspired Chicago outfit come out swinging with plenty of lingering guitar licks, hazy psychedelic rhythms and even some [...]
Loxy & Munk - The Revenge (Architecture Free Download) by DJ Ink
Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2011 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. So over the next couple of days, we'll be posting Top 10 Albums of 2011 lists as determined by individual Loud Loop Press staff members. Today, associate editor Audrey Leon offers up her list for Top 10 Albums of 2011. I decided to do it a little differently this year. I honestly didn't think I could find another way to describe how great [...]
Ice Cube Celebrates The Eames for Pacific Standard Time the birth of the LA art scene. For more info on Ice Cube & The Eames visit http://pacificstandardtime.org . </a Ice Cube drives Inglewood blvd. describing the Los Angeles that he knows. He talks of landmarks like The Forum, Five Torches, Cockatoo Inn, Brolly Hut, and Watts Towers. He refers to the 110 as "Gangsta Highway". Cube says coming from South Central LA teaches you how to be resourceful. The video cuts to [...]
Before he became Ice Cube, O'Shea Jackson studied architectural drafting at the Phoenix Institute of Technology. That's a pretty strange thought. What's not strange is this video of Ice Cube driving around and discussing the architecture of Los Angeles and specifically, the Eames House. "They was doing mashups before mashups even existed. It's not about the pieces, it's how the pieces work together. You know, taking something that already exist and making it something special. You know, kinda like sampling," Ice Cube says. Indeed. The New York Times has a great [...]
I don't know if these are tangible or just mock ups, I guess we'll have to ask Kim Holtermand, if they aren't physical then someone needs to print these up because i'll order the set right now. via Behance by Benoit Berger Permalink | Comment On This Post | Tweet This Post | Add to del.icio.us | Stumbleupon Post tags:

I went to St Louis for the Old School Tattoo Expo , where world renowned tattooer Lyle Tuttle celebrated his 80th birthday; here's a photo of his cake (it's the Frisco Flyer tattoo machine that he made and made famous). The highlight of the weekend, aside from reconnecting with Lyle and other great friends in the business for me- was the visit a few of us made to the 10 story City Museum there. A cross between the works of Antoni Gaudi and Mad Max , [...]
Jayci Kalb performs a Travis Wall choreography to "Lost Song," by Ólafur Arnalds . "Lost Song" was released in 2009 on the Found Songs LP, by Erased Tapes. Watch right here:
London's ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower has just been completed . It was being built for the 2012 London Olympics - not unlike Paris' Eiffel Tower, which was built for a World's Fair. By the way, this thing is nearly twice as tall as the Eiffel Tower and a couple hundred feet higher than the Statue of Liberty. So, good luck with having this in the future London. [via IHC ]

Tweet Architecture , a three - piece band based in Chicago, specialize in crafting an organic-electronic sound that merges '60s girl-group stylings with an ambient mixture of dream pop. Their self-released debut album, "When We Were Young" (April 9th), is sure to make fans of Au Revoir Simone and Slumber Party rejoice! Originally a two-piece made up of Melissa Harris (vox/multivox/Nord) and Rebecca Scott (vox/guitar/glockenspiel) during the recording, Erin Dorr has since joined the band, contributing vox, [...]
The Pohutukawa tree is found in New Zealand and its crimson flower has long been part of the Christmas tradition. The house received its name because of its location around a dense Pohutukawa grove near the beach. The architects did an outstanding job mirroring the interior design, materials and the structure of the house to the complex form of the surrounding Pohutukawa trees.

The Atlantic has rounded up a gallery of houses that look like houses . How meta! "Ask a child to draw you a house and the design will most likely turn out looking like some of these homes. Architects note historical roots and environmental advantages, but house-shaped houses also touch on a feeling deep inside us about what a house - and essentially our home - should look like. The iconic quality of the archetype house is so strong it has transformed it into a pictogram as readable as the word itself." Indeed. This is kind of clever.

The Ellis Residence is a place where most would go to retire away in the sub-urban countryside—Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington. Having been there a handful of times, I can assure you of its beauty. The architects of the project, Coates Design , built this 2,560 sq. ft. contemporary home from materials of the pre-existing structure. They then implemented geothermal, photo-voltaic and solar technology solutions in an effort to reduce energy consumption. If you look closely in this photograph you can see one of the solar panels on the roof. Shared via Fresh [...]
