Cool video from film director/musician Jarbas Agnelli. Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo. Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it[…]
Got a scanner? Yup. Oh how I love my HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer • Scanner • Copier. So, if you’ve got a scanner and computer with a connection to the internet and a writing implement and a printer and your scanner is connected to your computer so that you can upload your scan to[…]
Wherein a Leave It To Beaver fan transcribes a letter from the Beave’s principal and catches a production coordinator red-handed, getting all kinds of stream-of-conscious creative with the copy: Leave It to Beaver: 1958 | Shorpy Photo Archive via kwout File this under dorky stuff. Via MeFi (the “production assistant” title caught my eye)
Via AdFreak Wait for it, there’s a wilhelm in there. Ew.
I was sad to hear that legendary Memphis musician and producer Jim Dickinson passed away over the weekend. Last year at Riverfest I saw Jim play an amazing set backed by Jason Weinheimer, Greg Spradlin, Chris Michaels, and Dylan Turner in the Arkansas Times tent. It was a balmy night but the music felt cool[…]
flight patterns from Charlie McCarthy on Vimeo. Charlie McCarthy’s long exposures of bugs under a street light makes one cool ass :45 video. I saw this on kottke a couple of days ago and have kept coming back to it for another look. The music is from Telefon Tel Aviv, a New Orleans IDM outfit.[…]
I found this little photo album at an estate sale. It’s someone else’s trip to Yellowstone National Park, Craters of the Moon National Monument, and the Trees of Mystery Redwood Highway cicra 1950s(?). I like the photo of the ox the best. Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer PS here’s a link to Scott’s vacation[…]
Saw these cool, retro-ish, whimsical, weird photos by Hugh Kretschmer in his Feature Shoot Q&A. This prosthetic ear vocal booth caught my real eye’s attention. This shot also kind of gives me the willies.
I compiled another book mixtape this week, this time from John Wray‘s amazing new novel Lowboy. The majority of the tracks on this mix come directly from the book. Lowboy loves the Dixieland cornetist Bix Beiderbecke so there are four Bix tracks here. But Lowboy also name drops Clarence Williams, Nat King Cole, Fats Waller,[…]
Back in May, I was lucky enough to be out front when Patriot Lady walked by. I asked her if I could take her picture and she obliged. I then asked her if it would be ok if we were closed on July 3rd since the 4th fell on a Saturday. She paused for a[…]
Just saw this on Adfreak. It’s like the Lazer Beatles radio spot that we produced for Bumpercar but different.
