Jake and Dinos Chapman’s amazing short films
by Jake and Dinos Chapman are on the same level as the South Park duo, as far as I’m concerned. I draw the parallel in my mind, but whether anyone would agree, I don’t know. It’s like they took every sketch I made as a kid and turned them into the most awesome play set ever. Their art is one of those things that just resonates with me. The sense of humor, the commentary, and the pure graphic overload will keep you engaged for days. I wish they would make a movie of this.

Spending a huge amount of money is easy when you’re without a mortgage, kids or a full time job. To ease my financial guilt, I recently put together this list of fifty fun, bizarre and slightly mad ways in which I managed to blow $50K over the years — buying myself nothing but amazing memories and the odd persistent stomach bug.
Vladislav Delay video directed by Carolina Melis
This is the new video for Vladislav Delay — the alter-ego of Finnish composer Sasu Ripatti, also known for his work as Luomo and Uusitalohas. Taken from the recent Tummaa album, the video for the single Toive was directed by Carolina Melis (who has previously made videos for labelmates Efterklang and Colleen) and Lorenzo Sportiello, and is a journey into a spectacular miniature landscape, with crystals forming and transforming into new substances. Read Vladislav Delay’s Secret Playlist.
Neato video by artist and musician Jean-Paul Frenay about some futuristic corporation that has developed ‘organic virtual reality’ software designed to retrieve the memories of mankind. We assume that ‘organic’ simply means drippy, bulbous, and tendril-y.

I’m not here to say KISS is my favorite band of all time. I don’t believe in favorites. But I listen to them a lot. And when I do, I feel great, and that’s all that matters.
The beauty of life is that there is so much floating out there in the world that you can constantly trip over it. I saw a book of Richard Paul Lohse’s work when I was in Paris this past April. It was a massive book with endless pages of color studies and geometric patterns. Color usages that I had never seen before. It was amazing. Nothing in this world is random. It’s always an important thing to remember. Experiences and moments have different significances, but everything happens for a reason. Tripping over this book was a huge moment for me. Read more
Matt Stone and Trey Parker are my heroes. They have proven time and time again their genius and I bow humbly before it and absorb it for all its worth. South Park has been around for twelve years now but is constantly fresh and pushes the limits of just about everything. It’s living proof of what can be accomplished with purity of vision and commitment.

Before MTV, MySpace, and viral marketing, album covers had the potential to make or break a band. First impressions count, and many a music geek have purchased albums on the cover artwork alone. So what these guys were thinking is simply beyond me. Although, if anyone has a spare copy of Devastating Dave the Turntable Slave then I know someone, ahem, who could take it off you. Read more
