takashi murakami 2007-11-17 23:04:24
japanese pop-art phenomenon takashi murakami is best known for sharing his contemporary artistic style that he originally defined as “superflat“. when his work was first discovered, people couldn’t really understand his design or what he was trying to do. for murakami, that didnt matter as his mission was to create an image of anime in a brand new, light and peaceful way.
today he now respectively collaborates with louis vutton designer marc jacobs on handbags and accessories, and just made a video and the cover art for kanye west’s recent album graduation.
everything i’m not
made me
everything i am
with andy warhol being one of his greatest inspirations, murakami embraces every edgy, daring and colorful element accessible to the public. who he is and how he reaches his audience sees no line in fusion between commerce and art. by running his own personal industry, kaikai kiki, out of large studio factories in brooklyn, ny and t

italians do it better! 2007-12-08 08:59:48
the new jersey/portland label italians
do it better
have certainly taken over the blogosphere in particular with their represented artists glass candy and the chromatics. producer johnny jewel is the master behind both projects and has created his own unmistakable combination of soft downtempo, colorful disco pop and retro synth mixed within influences of italo and the sensuality of female vocals.
new demos are kindly being shared upon each band’s personal myspace. these tracks below are some of my favorites.

im better off this way… 2007-12-05 21:13:52
ryan adams‘ recent album easy tiger brings me back to the first day i heard it. just a few days after my mother’s stroke, it felt as if every day blended into one another. going through feelings of complete sadness, anger and desperation, insanity, so drained and chaotic from too many tears, too much thinking and no sleep…. trying so hard to keep it all to myself, to push it all inward. when i finally realized — i needed to reach out, my best friend petrina was there from boston and brought ryan adam’s new album with her. a day after we had taken my mother out of the hospital, petrina and i decided to get some iced coffee and take a drive. we went to one of my favorite places where this private connecticut beach rests at the farthest end of all these secluded mansions. sitting there with the windows open and an autumn breeze that came in softly from the water as the bright sun shined white light down, we listened to *easy tiger* over and over again. the acou Read more:better

this will slip into the sea. 2008-02-09 14:32:31 beirut’s second album ‘the flying club cup‘ is enough to make a first impression beyond charming and enchanting. the creativity weaving within foreign echos of one man mastermind zach condon’s vocals harmonizing, his happiness of accordian keys shuffling, the vibration of what it feels like to have drums pulsating throughout your entire body and of [...]
