It was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
Although only in the middle stages of October, ’tis the season to get in the Christmas spirit. Surely a designer’s dream, this ten-different color set of Pantone Christmas Ornaments is both clever and stylish. Designed by Selab, these two-toned glass spheres measures 8cm or 3.14″ in diameter, and are a perfect gift for that artistic someone in your life.
Today was good day, seeing the Los Bangeles tote bags on a sunny day.. We missed summer a bit this year in Rotterdam, but if autumn is like this day, it's all good.. So open up those windows and turn on this autumn anthem by Dam-Funk!
Neck Face is an artist who manages to imbue humor into violence, locate amusement in fear, and takes pleasure in rattling nerves. His work is simultaneously sinister and grim, genuine and playful. He toys with the sacrilegious, antagonizes phobias, and triggers insecurities, all with a measure of ambivalence. His distinctive style straddles the line between reckless and deliberate, yet the work maintains a sense of immediacy, and is always provocative. Neck Face posits nightmares, prompts anxiety, and conjures the devil. In doing so, he champions the urge to laugh, rather than retract, at the discomfort felt from the true absurdity of horror.
Heads up - this is the debut full length from LA's recent Stones Throw signing, Jonwayne and it's a peach! Jonwayne is a member of the WEDIDIT Collective, a gaggle of LA-based beatmakers counting Shlohmo and Elan in their number. 'Bowser' is the first we've heard from him, but it's sure to make a lasting impression. Evidently he's got a very unique spin on the whole West Coast psych-boogie sound, sharing a taste for the frilliest riffs with Dâm Funk, but also a a crushed 8-bit vibe nodding to Ras-G, and all wrapped up in this weirdly off-kilter tuning and beats that range from ultra-minimalist machine funk like 'Longest Night' to skewed lo-fi neck snappers like 'Trilla G'. There's also a correlation with James Pants to the extent that they're both out on their own planets in terms of juxtaposed arrangements and weirdo harmonics, but Jonwayne's sound is more in love with a modern HipHop and synths than referencing old pop like Pants. To be fair, the detuned sounds may be a bit too much for the strickly orthodox heads, but what's he's doing is actual quite individual and worthy of closer inspection. Recommended!

"When I think of how to write about Jonti's music, I don't feel like writing at all. I feel like drawing a picture, with watercolors and maybe crayon - colorful, abstract, youthfully curious and open to interpretation. Maybe then I'd staple, glue or nail some found objects to it, recontextualizing their intended purpose into something strange and beautiful."
