keep it goin louder



Sick of waiting for season cinco (that's literally what it's called) of tim and eric? Well, Eric warheim has brought us another amazing video adaptation of one of Major lazer's best yams. Keep it goin louder features fatties on motorcycles, an updated Nina sky and Diplo looking pretty suavé in a suit... among other things.

do we still say mix tapes?



It's weird to think that kids these days may not know what a mix tape is. But they're not dead! Tapedeck.org has a pretty extensive record of various unique cassettes. A nice little time capsule if you ask me.

There's also two awesome (and free) mixes out there that you should get immediately. The first is from Chirp and features the likes of Air, Teengirl fantasy, Neon indian, Washed out, blah blah-- you get the picture. But it also has a song from one of my local favorites, Sealions.

The second mix is from the always awesome Kitsune noir and features a more playa-centric theme with The drums, Best coast, Beach house, etc. Anyways, they're free, their excellent... just get em.

music televisión


Here are some new music videos for your ojos to enjoy. The above is a shot from the Little secrets video by Passion pit (which you can't embed for some reason). I love shitty computer animation so, props to them.




Update: Here's a late entry, but I'm really digging this video. There's nothing quite as satisfying as freaking europeans out:

neon is the new black

Neon gold beat company seems to somehow exist in an alternate universe where pop music is hailed as an art form and, needless to say, I'd love to live there. They initially put out the first Passion pit single and the rest is history I guess. Their current line-up is as over the top as it is accessible, here are some tracks linked via their (awesome) blog:


Here's the video for that last song. Intense.

And if you're up for it, here's an extra little treat for you. Have a fun fin de semana:

ménage à trés

seems everyone's got threesomes on the brain these days so here's a trio of songs for you this fine gloomy day. hopefully they reflect wild times, drunk dancing and rampant experimentation.


P.s. Don't go too crazy, kids. Like Agassi did...

today is now - cinco

Thomas demand is an incredible german artist that makes real-life replicas using only paper. the above picture is from his recent oval office recreation. sí, it's all paper. soak it in.

Obviously, everyone has politics on the brain. In honor of this, let me throw some sexual politics your way with an all female playlist (it is a mancession after all).


And, although I do love the ladies I still have no love for maría whorewood. So, don't vote for her in the runoff, kthanks.
