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.
Digitalite
In this section I post my occasional snippets of insight on outbound links that are necessary material in your cultural well-being. Josdigital in short bursts, if you will.
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.
Blockhead – “The Music Scene”
Trippy, psychedelic colorful animations (aka just the way I like it) in tone with instrumentals from Aesop Rock’s man bring forth a well paced natural flow of images toward the music. Very well done.
The Cinematic Orchestra – “Lilac Wine”
Best known as Jeff Buckley’s adaptation, “Lilac Wine” performed by this Josdigital favorite is subtle, touching and ready to be played again and again. Stunning visuals comprised of calligraphy and hand drawing are nothing short of pure delicacy. Enjoy.
Salem – “King Knight”
Much anticipated is Salem’s King Knight lp out in September. Here’s their overdrowned in synths lo-fi crunk style best represented on its title track.
Arch M – Land Huxt
Arch M stirred the blogosphere with a massive track a while ago. Now grab this dreamy highly conceptual EP and get dazed.
Envision : Step into the Sensory Box
“The public was invited into a cube and discover the artistic vision of the tagline of the event: Transforming the Mobile Experience.”
Jai Paul – “BTSTU”
Stuck on repeat. The overlaying falsetto of Jai Paul leads the track through a mix of funky electro-soul. More goodness at his myspace.
Memory Tapes – Bicycle (Little Loud Remix)
This rework of one of my favorite tracks of the summery Seek Magic is gorgeous.
Teen Inc.
Groovy repetitive guitar riffs, breezy vocals on “Friend of the Night” and funkier rhythms on “Fountains”, looks promising.
Band of Horses – “Compliments”
Stellar job in transforming and distorting nice scenery. Infinite Arms will be good.
Kavinsky – “Nightcall”
I’ve talked about the Testarossa driving French producer before, but this Daft Punk co-production lights up like fire.

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

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.

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.

"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.
