Love the touch of film grain combined with black chrome. The evolution towards the end is amazing. P4k calls it monstrous shit, which it definitely is.

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.
Broken Bells – “The High Road”
Lovely video for the Danger Mouse/James Mercer combo project out in March.
xx – “VCR”
I couldn’t picture a better video. Simple video, simple song, minimal theme, all is good.
Animal Collective – “Brothersport”
This is the song that got me into the psychedelic AnCo repertoire, and the video is nothing but. Quite a head trip. Don’t do drugs kids, just watch this.
The Xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)
I’ve already declared Nosaj Thing a kid to look out for. Now listen to this impeccable remix, along with a Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck remix.
Jónsi – “boy lilikoi”
Jónsi of Sigur Rós goes english on a marvelous first track for a tba LP. Can’t wait.

Generation Kill
If you ever get the chance to pick up this exhilarating drama/action show, please do. I’m struck with awe (makingof).

Four Tet – “Love Cry” (Joy Orbison Remix)
New dubsteppy remix for the already masterly Love Cry is blissful and a whole lot epic. Delicious.
Air – “Sing Sang Sung”
“Love 2″ is kind of disappointing, what is not is this cute video, feels like a little ball rolling around in your eardrum.
Massive Attack – “United Snakes”
Gorgeous animated video for their 2010 album where being creative with abstract shapes is key. Full screen y’all.

Bat for Lashes: Two Plus Two
48-min feature on the creation of Natasha’s second album. She’s desirable, talented and has a great vision on music. Great watch.

Massive Attack – Psyche Remix
Pitchfork semi-bashes their new EP for staying true to their sound. Can somewhat relate, but ethereal Psyche is on heavy rotation here.

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.

"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.

This is in no way a great film, but this movie really got a hold of me. It's something more than just jokes and thought, it's dark when it needs to be, satirical and vulgar at times. But the weird thing is that it all felt special, like a perfect cult film. Everything just felt right.

The opening scene was powerful, the rest of the movie was one overly melodramatic scene, but the surprisingly dramatic wow-effect of the ending hugely makes up for it. Go see.

Surprisingly enjoyable, adventurous teenage romance. A little edgier than a teen comedy, but that's it.
