Photos of New York in the 1940s, 50s and 60s

Fortunately, he left his impressive collection of Kodachrome color slides to his alma mater Indiana University. These colorful and candid street scenes give an intimate look into the good old days of New York City.

If Fred Astaire called this performance ‘the greatest dance number ever filmed’ then you know it has to be good. Sporting original dance moves that put today’s pop dancers to shame, the Nicholas Brothers show off their self-taught skills in this amazing scene from Stormy Weather. And the leap frog at the end?

David Maisel’s awesome X-rays of art photo series

David Maisel’s photoseries entitled History’s Shadow explores art objects from antiquity in a new light. He photographed x-rays of the Getty Museum’s permanent collections that had been taken for the purpose of art preservation.

Only the French can get away with the sort of effete, gothic electropop that Position Parallele make. It’s hard to tell if the duo’s deadpan is supposed to be funny or not, but it’s pretty hard not to pull some angular, jerky dance moves when listening to their New Order-ish tunes.
