While listening to Madlib Shades of Blue album last night, an album where he remixes the Blue Note catalog, Francis Woff’s photos popped into my head. Francis Wolff’s child hood friend Alfred Lion was one of the co-founders of Blue Note Reords and shortly after moving to the United States from Germany in 1939, Francis [...]
I just picked up the new issue of Wallpaper today that features two guest editors; Philippe Starck and Karl Lagerfeld. Each editor was given 27 pages to do what the like. On the very last page of Philippe Starck’s section is a promotion for a soundtrack composed and mixed by Soundwalk. What’s unique about this [...]
There is a great video documenting the process of creating the cover art for Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album. I think the art it self is pretty cool and I love all the work that Dan Tobin Smith, the artist that created the Blueprint 3 cover does, but I really feel like this cover doesn’t make [...]
I just had one of my internet freak out sessions, where I spend way to much time on a site going nuts over whatever it is I’m freaking out on. Tonight it was La Blogotheques’s Take Away Shows. Some how the guys at La Blogotheque convince a band to play a few songs in a [...]
I’m always looking for music to work/ride to and my friend James just finished this great mix. Download it here. Tracklist below…
Angela Boatwright has updated her website with some incredible photos. I remember seeing her stuff for the first time in old issues of Mass Appeal and I’ve always loved her work. The new site has a good mix of new and old photos and I grabbed a few of my favorite shots to check out [...]
Maicol Chavez, who’s done some stuff with Defgrip in the past, like putting together an amazing Autophoto, has been DJing with his friend Chris Mekdara, under the name Cru Joness and they put a rad mix together for Defgrip. Download and check out all the info after the jump!
Hardformat is rad album archive website that I came across from one of @Reserves twitter links. “It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design.” It seems [...]
XLR8R has some of the best podcasts going and they recently posted a good but short podcast with one of my favorite groups Junior Boys. Check the Junior Boys podcast here and the full XLR8R archive here.
The past few days, David Lang was Twittering about some “epic blog post” he was working on… I’m always stoked on anything David is up to, but I was expecting some exposé on a trials mountain bike rider or some future of communication on the Internet type of stuff… I was wrong! This past winter [...]
Just came across this site called We Are Hunted, which seems pretty interesting, and a potential way to find new music (you can listen to each one). Here is the gist of it straight from the site: “We Are Hunted is the Online Music Chart. We aggregate social networks, forums, music blogs, Torrents, P2P Networks [...]
A while back the band M83′s record label held a contest to create a video for their song “We Own The Sky” and I just came across the winning video on The Fader blog. The video is a visually captivating, motion heavy piece, that was was created by David Altobelli. You can check the video [...]

So, I can admit that my musical taste is all over the map. Just as an example, I’m listening to My Morning Jacket right now, but the day started out with The Dreams new album. I usually don’t listing to that much main stream hip-hop, especially not R&B, but I’ll have to blame my recent [...]
Smoovebert just sent this over and while we are on the topic of posting cleaver internet shit, I thought everyone would enjoy this. It’s a mash-up of youtube clips mixed together to create a whole album. I thought it was just one track, but no… an album. I tried to just listen to it in [...]
Greyboy is spinning live today and the whole Warchruch turntable crew should be showing up soon! Warchruch is just a big jam at Greyboys house where him and his friends all jump on turn tables and spin some rad music. “funky beats and breaks spanning all musical genres, but focusing on funk, soul, jazz, and [...]
Through a few message boards and some random clicking I just came across this rad video on, a site called Quality Control, that compiles sounds from the world to create music. I really love the concept and the video is quite fun.
This is too dope not to post. Imagine watching this when your computer is going slow, making those pixel ghost on top of the intentional ghosts…
There is a pretty good post on The Font Feed about the Grammy that was awarded to best packaging and music video. They give their two sense about the Metalica album that won for best packaging and put up a few of their favorite album covers from the past year. They also have some good [...]
