KNOWLEDGE REIGNS SUPREME.
Got in touch with the work of Ross McDonnell on a late night browsing on Booooooom and instantly fell in love with it. I’m not that much into photography but from time to time I really get amazed by it.
Please visit the links below and try to catch the same feeling as I did.
Two different bands, the same record, 6 new tracks.
There was no better way to officialy start a record label intended to have no barriers, than with a record that mixes styles, sonorities and messages. NEVER FAIL and PxHxT prove in this record that what matters the most is people, leaving differences on the background and uniting themselves with Juicy to release a threesome record, but with a single idea. Crossover baby.
Cool stuff, pay attention to the info in the beginning.
Juicy Records begins to leave its mark in 2010. Not to reinvent, nor to divide in worthless categories of genres and aesthetics, but to serve as a platform for projects that transport contents through music.
Music with content is music that transmits something. Values, messages, emotions, stories…all of these have been brought to us over many years by music, and now it’s time to gather some friends and give something back.
It’s official, JUICY RECORDS, my own record label, is out. Check the site for all the relevant info.
You may or may not have heard about it in the last couple of weeks, you may or may not have helped me in some way to put it together, but right now it feels good just to see it take form.
Some people have asked me why am I doing this, why drag my money, my time and my energies on something that can be a total failure just by looking at the state of things nowadays…my answer: I’m just doing me, I’m just following an old dream and creating something to share with everyone.
All my life I have been inspired by music. Not only by the bands playing on stage, their words, but also by the people standing on the backstages, working hard to make things happen. I have been on both sides, but most of the time I am just a kid in front of a stage waiting for that burst of sound that makes me feel alive…to all those kids, I bring JUICY RECORDS to life.
It’s kinda my way to say thank-you to hardcore and music in general. It was all a dream…but maybe it is finally coming true.
First seen at Wooster Collective.
Can someone tell me what’s the song playing in the video?
I think I got in touch with this documentary through a blog, but since I started watching it like 2 weeks ago I lost track of the source…so this will probably be a repost from some blog on my link list. Sorry ’bout that.
Inside Outside shows us the work and thoughts of well-known street artists that are slowly crossing the bridge to commercial art but still maintain their illegal street activity. From the constant experimentalism of ZEVS to the random pixoteiros of São Paulo, and the naive artsy feeling of Swoon, this film manages to be more than another portfolio-documentary of selected street art, turning into a very specific vision of street art as a lifestyle.
I really enjoyed it, even though I had to watch it in like 6 or 8 parts, and I can only say I’m glad there’s people like these artists to bring colour and life to our concrete streets.
P.S.: Check the guys living inside the subway station…you can’t get more punk than that. Fight the system.
As usual, Wooster Collective unveils a great artist to me.
What got my attention in this specific series that was shown at Wooster, was the way Simon Birch portrays human emotions and delivers intensity in his paintings, without showing faces.
Bodies become geometric intersections of colour, and shapes get melt into a single appealing composition. I’d buy a painting like this if I could.
SIMON BIRCH WEBSITE (browse it, has a lot of different work)
Ready for another post of stuff-I-find-online-cause-I-really-have-no-time-to-write-decent?
Nahhh, don’t worry, this time I bring you not the usual music videos and artistic discoveries, but some references to news from my fellow bloggers and friends.
Organic Anagram Industries – new site, products and online store!
I’m diggin’ the new hoodies, and the prints look awesome too. Miguel has been busting his ass on this project, and I’m starting my project too so I know the effort put in building something from scratch.
Support if you can, or at least subscribe the mailing list, it’s not one of those annoying ones :).
the.argument – Nuno, the new INDIAna Jones
Follow Nuno, the vocals from the notorious Step Back! on his journey across India…he makes very personal descriptions of the reality down there, always with a good dose of humor and a positive attitude. Outlive!
Vicious Noir – new (small) track online.
Tim, who I interviewed here, has this ongoing experimental musical project full of quality and diversity.
“Um” is the most recent addition to his myspace, and surprised me a lot, it has a hip-hop touch, different from the previous tracks.
Be on the lookout cause this won’t be the last time you’ll hear about Vicious Noir on this blog ;).
And that’s all for today folks, sorry for the slow rhythm over here.
Maybe with tomorrow’s post you’ll understand why I’ve been so busy lately.
I find it a paranormal phenomenon how this band became so big. Do I need to point out the cameos on this video?
How the hell do you get Jake Gyllenhaal, who just did a multi-million dollar feature film, to show up on a video wearing a ridiculous tennis outfit?
Anyway, probably the only music I really dig from these guys. RZA should do a true remix to this song, that would be interesting.
Yes, the boys got together and the album is taking shape.
Hope this picture makes final cover. More info with The Chef delivering some words of wisdom here.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Clever as always, and amazing how this guy gets everywhere!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Funny interview, nice to see Hov relaxed and comfortable among the Brits. Video of his performance on the show here.
Wu-Tang Clan – Early Grave. Great beat, and always good to hear ODB on his natural element.
Floorpunch European Tour:
I envy the Portuguese fellas that went to see them. Damn.
The polaroid art of Patrick Winfield:
More here.
And that’s all for today, film review posts coming up next ;).
