Amon Tobin: ISAM Live (Extended Trailer)
Amon Tobin has been making forward thinking electronic music for over fifteen years. His latest effort, ISAM, which you can stream in its entirely, is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. He’s bringing his album on tour with a stage show that matches the intensity of the album. As my friend Ryan said after the show, ‘that was important’.
Handmade fan video for Amon Tobin’s Lost And Found
Amon Tobin is the maestro of surreal electronic music. I always wanted to make a video for one of his songs, so when I had the chance to start this project, I was more than inspired. Instead of using computer generated effects, I did everything by hand. All the effects and images on this video were shot in studio.

Australian hip hop artist Iggy Azalea
At first glance, Australian hip hop artist Iggy Azalea seems like the typical girl next door. That is, if the girl next door could write and rap rhymes like the kids in the big league. At just 21, Azalea isn’t just a pretty face. She recently dropped her free to download mixtape, Ignorant Art and there’s no doubt the rapper will be joining the rest of the women making their mark on this formerly male dominated genre.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Halloween Challenge to the parents of America
With Halloween just passed, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel put out a challenge to all parents of America to deliver the ultimate Halloween trick to their kids: telling their children the day after Halloween that they had eaten all of their hard earned candy. Oh, and to video the reaction, of course! What sounds like a cruel joke is all forgotten when you’re laughing at the unpredictable and sometimes adorable reactions. I know I wouldn’t have handled it well.

Philippine born, Chicago resident, Miriam Fanger is addicted to coffee, and capturing moments that don’t exist with the reality of passing time. The subtle intensity she has, along with a tenacity for shooting, makes her work powerful and moving. Her photos seem to catch all people at a passing instant of vulnerability, and the posture and eyes of her subjects radiate with a chemistry that I rarely see in portraiture. Read more

Having originally sprung from the Shaky Isles (otherwise known as New Zealand), I can appreciate the humour in the New Zealand cartoon series, Bro Town, the first homegrown animated series to screen during local prime time. It’s simply brilliant, a real play on the ‘thuck’ accent and small town ways of our Kiwi brethren.
This café, cookie shop, ice cream place in Cobble Hill Brooklyn is all about flavor, aroma and family. Their cookies and ice cream are absolutely to-die-for, and the place is so well-designed, painted in vintage colors with old family pictures printed on the walls, that you’ll want to indulge yourself for more than just a few minutes. Try their Whoopies and Lucia cookies. They’re my favourite.
In this post-everything mash-up culture, it’s still sometimes disarming to see how a small tweak can completely change the meaning of iconic images. Read more
Strip away the cookie monster vocals and downtuned, distorted guitars, it’s hard to imagine death metal still reading as death metal, but 8-bit duo Dr. Zilog manage to do just that. The Floridian sound-card tweakers make some pretty amazing original, NES tunes that are strangely compelling, catchy, and actually quite metal.
They may be incredibly eccentric, but these ten inch platforms are physical proof that it is actually possible to create somewhat aesthetically pleasing heels out of elephant faeces. UK-based artist INSA designed the shoes as part of a recent art exhibit at Tate Britain which features the individual work of various artists responding to Chris Ofili’s controversial The Holy Mary elephant dung painting made fifteen years ago.
