WatchPill Wonder is a band from Seattle and this is their excellent video for their track “Wishing Whale,” the song is pretty good, but i like this one by them better.

While one should always approach covers with a level of skepticism, I’m definitely into this recent cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” by the LA-based band Barbara.
“Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi Cover)” ~ Barbara (taken from Indie Shuffle)
The feel is taken from the Gourd’s infamous “Gin & Juice” song (the first song I...

The Vampire Weekend Boys have put out their latest music video, and it is as weird as ever. The band is no stranger to quirky videos, but this one is pretty unprecedented with a broad range of cameos (my personal favorite is RZA). See you all at the open mic!

Required reading for everyone with a Facebook
I just came across this incredibly relevant and interesting article from “The Bygone Bureau” blog on the falsehood of the death of the ‘busy body’ - that little old lady that always used to peek through the blinds so she could get the dirt on the neighborhood and spread it to her bridge playing friends. Remember Gladys Kravitz, the pesky neighbor immortalized in the...

a week too late + a lifetime too early: RIP...
Alexander McQueen, fashion’s genius maverick, passed away last week on the eve of NY’s fashion week… his death means Lady Gaga, his master label Gucci, and the rest of the world has lost a rebellious fashion icon. McQueen represented the merging of the ridiculous with the sublime, creating amazingly forward-thinking fashion that was reviving the meaning of avant-garde.

RIP Pay Phone? Not just yet. →
So here’s my favorite human interest story of the week.
Everyone knows the pay phone is clinging to life and just about ready to be buried in the technological cemetery. But today’s NY Times profiles one pay phone booth in Queens that is still alive and well.
According to the article, “Those who stepped into the booth provided a snapshot of New York’s pay phone user, an...

Community is one of my new favorite shows- if you haven’t seen it yet I highly recommend doing so.
Donald Glover not only plays Troy the football player on the show…but is also a writer for 30 Rock AND has a crazy mixtape out as Childish Gambino. What a guy.
download the mixtape from this site
N.B. the track with Sleigh Bells!

WatchThis is the music video for Efterklang’s “Modern Drift”, the new single off their album Magic Chairs coming out on 2/22 (we in room 222- thats right, yall just got rickrossed). It’s like the most beautifully soundtracked episode of Planet Earth possible (sorry Sigourney). The lyrics are poignant and contrast perfectly with the simple piano backing. This song will definitely...

perfecting the portrait: arno rafael minkkinen
Arno Rafael Minkkinen is a photographer, originally from Finland, who has been for many years capturing amazing portraits (and more abstract works with human subjects) in the wilderness of the United States. I have been captivated by the sublimity in his images and the delicate relationship he presents for us between man and his natural habitat. Minkkinen’s self portraits are some of his...
