Late of the Pier/ Mystery Jets/ Passion Pit

Things that you should listen to if you don't already:

Late of the Pier. Band from England, they are awesome and not like every band now that is making dance music, and using synths. My favorite song off their CD is probably Hot Tent Blues, which is also the shortest. They've already got remixes done by Boys Noize and Hot Chip, and there is probably alot more to come.

Mystery Jets. Another band from across the pond. They're music is pretty awesome as well. Half in Love with Elizabeth and Young Love are my two favorite tracks. Also check The Shoes remix of Young Love, its bitchin.

Passion Pit. Yeah I am posting them up again cause they are that awesome. I just bought their EP and its good, other than Sleepy Head, Cuddle Fuddle and Live to Tell the Tale are ggooohd.

CONTROL by : Anton Corbijn

This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. One, because it is about Ian Curtis of the band Joy Division. Two, I love Joy Division. Three, I love Joy Division. If you have any heart, this movie will move you. It is sad, however it is real.

After you get done watching this trailer you might understand. If not type in Joy Division or Ian Curtis on Wikipedia and read up. This is such a good movie...

Directed by : Anton Corbijn



Here's the first part of the movie to get you started...

The Killers: Human video

Here is the video for the The Killers song "Human" off their their third album "Day and Age." The video seemed really random, but who cares the song is awesome, oh and Brandon Flower's feathered shoulders in this video, nuff said.

mickey factz

Mickey Factz is one of the new, up and coming artist. With his release of The Leak, a mixtape that consisted of a new song each week, Mickey Factz has been gaining praise for being a real hip-hop artist. Two of my favorite songs are Automatic and I Like Your Supra's. He has also recently made a video for a song he did with The Cool Kids, "Rocking N Rollin."

He's been recently featured in XXL magazine's "The 10 Freshman." Making the cover with another favorite Kid Cudi.

Passion Pit

I heard this band about a month ago and they're "the cat's ass." Their EP, The Chunk of Change, has recently released. "Sleepy Head" their first single from their EP is what I have been listening to non stop.

Also check out Bag Raiders. Their new single "Shooting Stars" is intoxicating. I have been listening to non stop and it has been stuck in my head since I heard it. Fun Punch is also amazing.

35mm Redscale Film

Lomography has released another awesome thing into the world of film, its nothing new, it's just now you can buy it instead of having to do it yourself. With 35 mm Red scale film all your photos have red-yellow-orange hues, but you're wondering HOW? Well usually what you'd do is wind your film upside-down into empty film canister and what happens next is that when you take a picture the red layer of the film gets exposed first giving it the awesome "red-scale" look. I am probably going to try doing it before I buy the film, even though I now I'll screw it up.

Here's a DIY guide to making your own redscale film. I also found a really cool Pool on flickr of redscale photos.

Here's a video for Justice's DVD +Live CD from their tour. Looks insane, and I wish I would have gone. Comes out Nov. 24, and I will definitely be getting it. Ohh and this trailer alone is the "cat's ass". It's just a harbinger of what is to come.

innerpartysystem

Found another new band. They're pretty good. Reminds me of shiny toy guns, but better. To make them even cooler, LA Riots remixed one of their songs. I have been listening to them, and their new album just came out. The best song is probably Die Tonight Live Forever.

Hercules and Love Affair

I randomly was flipping through videos and saw this. The song has been stuck in my head, I think it's because the singer has such and awkward voice, but in a good way. Its something that I have never heard, and the video is pretty sweet, I like the Greek theme. I listened to a couple of their other songs, they're pretty good. Check em out. Hercules and Love Affair.
