The Sony Music Timeline celebrates “125 years of musical history covering almost 150 square meters of wall space in Sony’s Derry Street offices. Using just CNC cut vinyl as the sole medium, 54 columns measuring over 2 meters tall cover feature nearly 1000 of Sony Music’s signed artists from 1887 to the present day.” I’m [...]
Brother Electronics is coming out with the next generation of its printing line and to celebrate, the company put together this great advertisement of old printers playing a rendition of Bob Dylan’s classic Vietnam-era protest song. The behind-the-scenes video is a fantastic look at how the video was made. It’s worth noting this bears a [...]
A memo from record producer Teo Macero to Columbia/CBS Records executives prior to the release of Miles Davis’ groundbreaking album, Bitches Brew. I don’t have faintest idea why there aren’t more Miles Davis sketch comedy routines in this world. [via thehighdef]
The one thing that’s always impressed me about The Avett Brothers is how they lay their emotions bare and empty every time they perform. Honestly, save for maybe Bruce Springsteen, I can’t recall another band or performer that played every concert or show like it would be their last. This week, while stopping by Jimmy [...]
I’m fairly certain that Titus Andronicus’ new album, “Local Business“, will be the only record I listen to from now until the end of the year. From Pitchfork: Check out the clip, directed by Isaac Ravishankara, below, via Grantland. It features frontman Patrick Stickles singing along to the song while wandering meditatively past parks, trains, suburban [...]
Star Wars, blow, and? Dr. Dog. Who could ask for more? Be The Void is available now on iTunes and you should definitely pick the album up. It’s one of 2012′s best.
1. The Black Keys teamed up with RZA to record “The Baddest Man Alive” as the theme song to RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fist. The grindhouse-style video is above. Look, anytime you get RZA pimp-slapping Dan Auerbach with a fish across the face how can you go wrong? 2. RZA brought [...]
R. Kelly’s infamous (beloved? guilty pleasure?) music video hip-hopera series “Trapped in the Closet” returns on Black Friday, which means you now have a legitimate excuse to skip out on shopping. I KNOW. You were looking for one anyway. Sorry dear, can’t go stand in line to get trampled at Walmart while trying to buy a panini press [...]
Surprisingly, mashing up this year’s biggest song with history’s biggest movie works fairly well. My only complaint is the video editing could have been better. For instance, why isn’t PSY a ghost that Venkman and Co. are trying to capture? Granted, you can only work with what’s available and this is pretty tight, nonetheless. [via [...]
The RZA’s directorial debut The Man With The Iron Fists comes out next month. We’ll be there, because it looks absolutely bonkers. Its soundtrack includes a new cut from the original kung-fu rapping supergroup, Wu-Tang Clan. Sadly, Method Man is nowhere to be found, BUT Cappadonna shows up in his stead. Six Directions of Boxing [...]
