mashups rock

tired of miley cyrus? me too. admittedly, "party in the usa" is pretty damn catchy, so this mashup of miley and biggie gets all the catchy without as much kitschy, and combines for something pretty fun. have a listen.

party and bullshit (in the usa) -

oh gosh, new animal collective ep

pretty straight forward. so straight from the horses mouth aka their myspace:

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE TO RELEASE NEW EP

FALL BE KIND IN STORES DECEMBER 15, 2009

Animal Collective are set to release a new five track studio EP on November 23rd 2009 (digitally) and 15th December (physically).

Recorded by Ben Allen at Sweet Tea in Oxford, MS in February 2008 and at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY August 2009, Fall Be Kind includes recent live favorites Graze and What Would I Want? Sky (featuring the first ever licensed Grateful Dead sample). Fall be Kind will be available worldwide on CD, 12” vinyl and via digital download.



Track Listing
1 - Graze
2 - What Would I Want? Sky
3 - Bleed
4 - On a Highway
5 - I Think I Can

pretty cool stuff. the grateful dead sample bit is pretty interesting. this release will certainly be a great capper to what has been a phenomenal year for the band. also if you haven't heard,  the guys have released a live rendition of "bleed" called "bleeding" that can be heard as a b-side on their brothersport 10-inch single. that's available now over at domino records website, who is also producing fall be kind. you can listen to "bleeding" online over at hypemachine.

*update* rumor has it that the fall be kind has been leaked on to the interwebz. ohnoes!!! just fyi...

wrap your head around this

Ready for some visually eye-popping, mind-bending art? In my daily browsing of the interwebz today, I came across the second video I've seen in recent weeks by a new favorite artist of mine - blu. Blending graffiti, stop motion, ambiguous concept based art and a loose musical backing, this guy really does it for me in a lot of ways. Maybe he'll do it for you too. Lord knows there's a lot of doing to be done.

Like what you see? Be sure to have a look at blu's website, which is a piece of art in itself. There you can find all kinds of crazy stuff besides just his videos. Go go go!
