About Last Night...
That was nuts. Thanks to all who came out to support The Mill and had a crazy time.
There will certainly be pictures up later. If you have any photos of the concert that you’d like to submit to The Mill’s Flickr account, please e-mail them to themillthewebmaster@gmail.com. Peace.

Take a break...
As we all get closer to finals and spend more and more time in the library, it’s important to take a break and chill out. Until the end of the semester, The Mill The Blog will be helping you relax.
My first recommendation is one of my favorite series of advertisements. Sony Bravia got serious attention for their “Colour Like No Other” series, and each commercial is totally...

The Doodlebook
Manvir Singh is an old friend of mine who’s currently studying at Brown University. In his free time, he runs a pretty sweet tumblelog called The Doodlebook, which Tumblr recently recognized and featured in its featured arts blogs section. Pretty sweet.
The blog basically features all of Manvir’s doodles, some just in pencil on a scrap of paper, others in full color drawn on a...

RCRDLBL released this Floss Remix of Totally Michael’s Casual Satisfaction. Download it for FREE.99 here!

Trailer Trash: Moon
Moon is the directoral debut of Duncan Jones, the son of David Bowie. The film looks like an amazingly emotional mash-up of Apollo 13, Castaway and the Machinist (wait… huh?). The plot involves a solitary astronaut (Sam Rockwell) who is nearing the end of a 3 year stint on a lunar farm. His only companion is the station’s robot (voiced by Kevin Spacey!). Of course, things go wrong when...

whoa...
While youtube is packed with thousands of amateur skateboarding videos, sometimes you need the real thing. Spike Jonze directed this video for the Lakai Project’s Fully Flared back in 2007. While the introduction is slower than your typical skate video, you’ll see how exceptional it is a minute in. Enjoy!
That last one actually involved napalm.
For those of you with saavy...

The two painters are both seen as highly...

Dear Late Night:
Play this song!
Every Thursday, the Mill puts out one song that deserve playtime in the early hours of morning around campus. This weekend, in honor of Spring Weekend and our upcoming concert, i’m going with the Flosstradamus remix of Matt & Kim’s “Yeah Yeah”. This track is the best of both worlds - you’ve got the absurdly catchy and cheery lyrics of Matt &...

Trailer Trash: Lymelife
Every week, we’ll be highlighting a recently released trailer. “Lymelife”, directed by Dereck Martini, depicts suburban life in the late 70s as an outbreak of lyme disease uncovers the underlying tensions within the community. While the theme of suburban strife may be worn out, the presence of Alec Baldwin looks promising. Also featuring Cynthia Nixon, Keiran and Rory Culkin,...

Who The F@&! is Flosstradamus?
Are you asking yourself this very question? Don’t fret, for you’re not alone, and The Mill is here to help.
Flosstradamus just so happens to be probably the most critically acclaimed DJ duo in the country right now. Hailing from Chicago, these guys do it all: production, mashups, live editing, remixes, and, most importantly, they can throw a sick party. Most of their concerts, though, are live,...

Digital Love... or something like it
New York based artist Kacie Kinzer’s public works of art are a fun concept that pushes surrounding observers to question how they interact with the inhabitants of urban space… in her case, it’s how they interact with robots.
Her project, Tweenbot, involves placing a 12 inch cardboard robot in public spaces and seeing how the people around interact with it. The tweenbot only...
