Father John Misty - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings

Easily my favorite album of 2012. Can't wait to see him in concert.

This video sits as a perfect companion to one of the darker tracks on the album.

Using recycled landfill materials to create string instruments.. Brilliant!

The V Motion Project

This project combines the collective talents of musicians, dancers, programmers, designers and animators to create an amazing visual instrument. Creating music through motion is at the heart of this creation and uses the power of the Kinect to capture movement and translate it into music which is performed live and projected on a huge wall.

Holy Shit! I'm loving that electronic music is beginning to find some innovative and creative ways to replace traditional band performances in a live setting. This definitely takes that to the next level.

Jack Kerouac in 1957

As relevant now as he was then, here's a bit from a letter to his wife, more after the jump...

"It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing. It’s a dream already ended. There’s nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about."

Nice mini-doc about an interesting evolution in music. Straight from the future.

Underworld

post_6796-450x433.jpg

Underworld’s originating members Karl Hyde and Rick Smith are part of a high-end design collective/commercial house that many on surfstation will know... Tomato. with a penchant for typography and avant-digital layouts, they were so much more than nocturnal nob-twirlers. even the titles of their albums are subtle tells of a band set apart from their genre. they made it look easy. writing hooks was always effortless for them. forget the classy, cheese-free stadium dance party siren call from their massive hit Cowgirl… just think back to the global sound meme they created when asked to write a track for Trainspotting.

i've uploaded one of their more subtle compositions and a favorite of mine for creative sessions. and long solitary drives. Beautiful Burnout…
