I know that it’s been a while since I’ve done an album of the week and for that I apologize. It’s not that I haven’t been listening to any music, cause I’m constantly listening to something, it’s just that it’s been a while since I’ve heard something that really made me stop and say, “Holy shit this is amazing.” Well, that exact quote was said by me yesterday when I bought Camu Tao’s “King of Hearts.”

Adidas is milking Star Wars for all there worth right now with the mash up designs inspired by one of the most influential Sci Fi films ever that has spurred a huge pop culture phenomenon over the last 30 years. Check out this university jacket for the dark side and the Wookie jacket for the rebels.

Grass Widow falls somewhere between post-punk and dream-pop with moments of retro surfer music. Their delicate harmonies accentuate the commanding, wacked-out instrumentals and makes the trio totally compelling.

Working with artist/computer programmer Rob Bairos, the video was recorded entirely off of a vintage oscilloscope. Oscilloscopes are used for viewing voltages, primarily in the sciences, medicine, engineering, telecommunications and industry. Though other people have reprogrammed oscilloscopes to display images in the past, the “video to scope” process used in this video is the first of its kind. The images you see are made up of a single point of light, moving quickly across a screen in order to draw shapes – that means the entire Born Ruffians video for “What to Say” displays vector images made from only one continuous line. The footage was shot once on video, edited, converted for use on the oscilloscope (using a live visuals program called TouchDesigner) and then shot again directly off the vintage machine.

The following is a descripotion and credits from Victor Huang.

While trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashes towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn’t feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus.

Tales from the Heart (An animated exquisite corpse, perfect for Valentines Day.) from Droolart on Vimeo.
(August 2009) For this project we chose the human heart as a guiding theme, that and the black, white and red colour scheme were the only limitations we set for ourselves. We then each went our separate ways to create the content of this piece. We came back together a week later to mash it all together into the chaotic eye candy you see before you. Encompassing a wide range …
