Vinyl art by Paul Villinski

This guy loooooves butterflies! So much that most of Paul Villinski's art incorporates butterfly shapes in various materials including vinyl records. Hopefully no good records or butterflies were killed in making these pieces.

What A Fool Believes

Nope! Not the version you're thinking of by Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Brothers). This is from a wedding reception for Alex and Sarah, who know a thing or two about music....they got Antibalas with Blinky Griptite to play at their wedding!!!



Here's a live version of the original-

The Listening Room

WOW! Remember the cardboard sound cube I posted a while back? (here) Well this is a similar idea just waaaay better! This piece was an installation for 100% Design Tokyo and co-designed by two amazing firms from Amsterdam, Elastik Architecture and Mat Studio. Together these firms transformed a standard shipping container into a very unique and personal aural experience that is meant to be a blissful retreat in contrast to the turmoil of this high profile event in Tokyo.

DJs x Mozart

This is amazing! It takes the idea of the DJ being the maestro to a whole new level. I don't know why there are no turntables though.? These pictures are of the Baby Grand Master. Yes, they this company also makes a Grand Master model! This will be my upgrade from the DJ desk I'm getting from Metro Farm (view post)

Fire Tagging

Yep, 3 graffiti posts in a row...I could keep going but I have some other stuff to post after this. So, this has probably been done before at some point since it's a pretty simple concept. Plus, people have been tagging with lighters and torches for a loooong time. Still, the pictures of this process are dope.

More virtual graffiti

Thanks to tdw for letting me know about this digital graffiti wall by YRWall. I love it when graffiti can transcend the streets and reach more people. This type of installation has HUGE potential and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this in the future.

Virtual graffiti

This is kinda dope. Unfortunately, the testers in the video couldn't really do anything but it has a lot of potential and looks like a lot of fun. It's not quite on the level of the Tagged In Motion project I posted back in the summertime (HERE) but, still this is quite impressive.

Music makes you stoopid

I'm not sure exactly what the factors are in making this map but apparently Lil Wayne is the best music to make you dumber. I'm not really surprised..refer to my post from this summer- "Lil Wayne is an idiot"

Get RAW

It's nice to see some of these living legends are getting some proper recognition.

The Way It Is / End of Innocence

I can't even front on this song. This is certainly one of the best pop songs from the '80s and undeniably a great song for the ages. Plus, the man can play the bones! Other songs that remind me of this song and vice versa are Every Kind Of People by Robert Palmer (which I posted back in December) and End Of Innocence by Don Henly. The lyrics speak for themselves in all of these...jus' lissen.

weird video of the week

Sure, this video isn't as weird as some of the other weird videos I've posted but this caught my attention. It's funny and almost pretty good at the same time. It's a strange convergence of pop culture, retro and old computer geek.
