Up to date graffiti websites are hard to come by, and even more so, good graffiti websites of Bay area heroes. Recently I came across the flickr site of Funk and Jazz. He’s got multiple photo sets, but most impressive is his collection of over 4,000 images of Bay Area street art. Read more

Like a breath of fresh air, Thao Nguyen is a totally independent voice from San Francisco. With a dash of Modest Mouse, a splash of Feist and an eye for the quirkier side of life. Read more

Anthony Kurtz recently sent me an update including imagery for his upcoming show at the W Hotel in San Francisco. This new body of work is a collection of photos he took while on a trip in India.

David Choong Lee is a San Francisco-based painter and illustrator. With deep influences in the underground culture of street art, hip hop, turntablism and mass media, his work puts a face on the humanity of it all. David will be showing with me at the upcoming Heavy Hitterz show at Pablo Gallery, in the Cubao District of Manila on Saturday, May 3rd. [read more on the Heavy Hitterz show]

I’ve been waiting for a group like this. These New Puritans are balls in your face, 100 miles an hour, pure attack! A young British group that has most of the UK press in the palm of their skinny pale hands, they hint at a sonic mash of Bloc Party mixed with what White Rose Movement were supposed to be. What more could you want?

Listen to the These New Puritans track, Elvis.

The master of the minor key lament, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone is not quite as alone as he thinks he is. Or is he? Hmmm, that’s kinda deep. Anyway, we interviewed him recently. Read more
