1906 San Francisco earthquake

I just spent half an hour looking at this very fascinating picture that got picked up by the 'blogosphere' on the wikimedia server. It's a hundred year old high resolution picture of San Fransisco taken right after the great 1906 earthquake(flickr). Apparently the gigantic camera was ...

Michel Gondry – The Science of Sleep

Michel Gondry is, as I would categorize Spike Jonze or Chris Cunningham, a very talented music video director that goes beyond that. He also directed films like Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, which I got to see this ...

Bloggin' Beastie Boys are getting prepared to release their new album The Mix Up, they're rockin' instruments again in this all instrumental album. The first video for the album is Off The Grid, the second one The Rat Cage is viewable after the jump. I'm excited, how bout you?

The Cinematic Orchestra – Ma Fleur

It already has been a good year for music and it's getting even better. Jason Swinscoe with The Cinematic Orchestra released their follow-up to 2002's "Everyday". "Ma Fleur" was conceived as the soundtrack to an imagined film, working alongside a scriptwriter. In a similar manner TCO ...

Dance of death drawings from 1900

These are a century old drawings by Louis Crucius, a pharmacist and part time artist, which some were later aquired by The Antikamnia Chemical Company for a marketing campaign. After beginning his working life as a printer's apprentice, Louis Crucius (or Crusius) completed the necessary ...

Now that you're probably tired of these lists, here's mine. Am I the only one to deliberately wait until the year is over before starting this listmania frenzy? Maybe I just don't care about the ...

  Sufjan Stevens – All Delighted People EP
  
  With an album already announced (and an intriguing album cover), Stevens brings this stellar EP filled with bombast and typical Stevens folk. Listen to the whole thing down below.

  How To Dress Well – “Lover’s start”
  
  Highly anticipated lo-fi artist How To Dress Well brought this suiting footage of late great Belgian singer/songwriter Jacques Brel. It’s a climax in 1971 film Franz, but works just as well here.

  How to Dress Well, “Suicide Dreams 2 (Spirituals RMX)”
  I’m lovin the jazz infused electronica of Spirituals‘ debut a lot, but this cutting and stitching remix is glorious.

  Mark Ronson feat. Q-Tip and MNDR – “Bang Bang Bang”
  
  Even though retro is the new cool, I really enjoy the song and visuals. As Q-Tip says best “Keep it funky y’all”, as he does.

    A complete waste of time. Worst movie of the year so far.

  - The Boys Are Back (2009) 2.5/5

    It's a little easy to evoke emotion when almost a whole Sigur Rós album is playing in the background. Despite that, it's a good parenting film, but there just isn't anything in it for me.

  - Inception (2010) 4/5

    Astounding piece of imagination (and not forget sci-fi logic). Nolan is a master at creating suspense and never breaking away from that bomb-rushing moment. I do think it could have been beneficial if the movie was a half hour shorter or there was more character development, but I really was blown away.

  - Brooklyn's Finest (2009) 2/5

    "Training Day" director delivers in dark aesthetic but fails to give me any sort of drama or heartfelt emotion. Big talk with very little content.
