The latest video from Flying Lotus, for “Kill Your Co-Workers” off the Pattern + Grid World EP. Made by Beeple, who in a generous gesture have made all the 3D models used in the video available for download here. You are encouraged to do with them what you will and send them the results here.
Flying Lotus has been doing some cool things to promote releases. For his fantastic album Cosmogramma released earlier this year he had a downloadable Augmented Reality app using the album cover art and sounds from the album, and for the previous album, Los Angeles, he had two video games (one, two) also utilizing sounds from the album, and users/fans could post their high scores on his website.
What you’re feasting your eyes on is the movie-sized special poster you’ll receive if you get the Deluxe Pre-Order of Daft Punk’s soundtrack for the forthcoming film, only on TronSoundtrack.com. As you can see, it glows in the dark, thus making it extra awesome.
I’m pretty excited for the soundtrack as well, ever since I found out Daft Punk would be scoring it. They’re perfect for the Tron sequel; it’s as if they were made for it. In fact, they have a brief cameo in the film, probably as themselves. Here’s a promo shot to whet your appetite:
The Hundreds interview Peanut Butter Wolf, head and founder of Stones Throw Records. Stones Throw are one of the coolest indie labels currently active, with an amazing artist roster and catalog. Commitment to vinyl, awesome art direction (c/o Jeff Jank); 95% of all the hip-hop I listen to comes from them, I think. Peanut Butter Wolf is an awesome DJ/artist himself; check out his My Vinyl Weighs A Ton, which Caliph8 has mentioned as one of his favorite albums of all time.
If you’ve ever wondered where Blast Ople staple “Precision Auto” comes from, here you go. Superchunk perform their classic song on Jimmy Fallon, their first major TV appearance in sixteen(!) years. And yet they’re still teaching the kids how to really do it. As Wincy Ong once put it (though in reference to his phenomenal acting), “Full Body Performance pala ‘to.”
Check out Superchunk’s great new album Majesty Shredding, which just came out. It’s got the goods.
Mark Torres, a handsome fellow and a fine draftsman, who contributed to our April fiction issue, will have a signing this Saturday on the occasion of the release of Fear Agent #29 from Dark Horse Comics, which he drew a story for. The man’s now being published by the people who do Hellboy! He done made us proud.
One of Alexis’ heroes was film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum. His latest collection, Goodbye Cinema, Hello Cinephilia: Film Culture in Transition (The University of Chicago Press) is already out in some stores in the United States. In the catalogue, its given release date is October 2010.
The book is dedicated to the memory of Alexis and Nika.
“If a lie is going to be good and if it’s going to be told well, it has to be true on a bigger level…all of fiction is a lie, but if you do it well, it’s a lie that tells you something big, and real, and very important about the world, and tells it in a way that will pay the rent, which I think is the most important part.
And everybody—people lie about themselves. Very often, the lies actually tell you much more about them than the true things they say ever would.” — Neil Gaiman (as told to Ramon de Veyra)
