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. His photos create a detachment from the original artwork, while illustrating how each piece is still alive. The results are serenely beautiful.

Amazing dance moves by the Nicholas Brothers
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? Wow.
Trailer for the independent film Martha Marcy May Marlene
The independent film Martha Marcy May Marlene is now at the top of my Must See list. Doesn’t it look amazing? It’s about a young woman (Elizabeth Olsen) who escapes from a cult and is trying to rebuild her life. It just came out in limited release in the US. The rest of us will have to wait a little longer.
Florence and the Machine’s new video: Shake It Out
I’m eagerly awaiting the October 31 release of Florence and the Machine’s second album, Ceremonials. And based on the new music video for Shake It Out, it won’t be a disappointment. It beautifully shows off Florence’s theatrical style, with strong lyrics and lush visuals.

Melbourne’s Cut Copy is the hottest electro act out of Australia right now. We spoke to Mitchell Scott from the group to get the lowdown on their musical highground. Long live the 80s huh! Where would we be without fluro colours, synths and poppy chorus hooks. Any oft-neglected trend from that decade you think should be brought back in? ‘Polystyrene packaging, smoking on planes, slap bracelets, wearing just one glove, Ghostbusters’. Read more

Some of these Free Crappy Portraits are not that crappy, and regardless of the skill of the artists, they’re all incredibly entertaining.
Listening to Mum’s fourth album — Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy — for the first time, I was awash with sentimentalism. Amidst carnival trumpets and burlesque beats, there’s a sense of this being a bohemian rhapsody. Perhaps it’s the mix of cello and brass with experimental electronica. Or maybe it’s just the soft vocals that cascade over playful, imaginative sounds. Whatever it is, it’s totally brilliant. [see also Sigur Ros' Heima]
Listen to Mum’s track, The Amateur Show.
