Prins Thomas: Remiksosaurus

I’m putting a ban on the word “curate” for all non-museum or art gallery purposes on the grounds that it instantly makes you sound like Lord Dinkleberry of Fopville.

Sorry, but you can’t curate a club night. You also can’t curate a fanzine, coffee shop, indie compilation, or video store (all actual uses I’ve seen around town).

Printed Matter: Rollo Press™

Swiss graphic designer Urs Lehni, brother of Jürg Lehni (creator of Hektor), started Rollo Press™ last year as a platform for publishing small-run art books. Lehni runs the press out of his Zürich apartment using a Risograph — a digital printing press that works by forcing ink through a stencil onto paper.

Lehni just developed The Rollo Press™ Bootleg Series, with it’s first release being a reproduction of Ken Isaac‘s 1974 DIY architecture publication How To Build Your Own Living Structures.

Printed Matter: Fantastic Man

This men’s quarterly, first published in 2005 by Butt creators Gert Jonkers and Jop Van Bennekom, has become the go-to publication for fantastic men around the globe. With features on style icons like fashion designer Tom Ford, musician Will Oldham, and dutch modernist Wim Crouwel, it is also the first imprint in over 50 years to make Times New Roman look fresh again.

The current issue features American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, as well as a list of recommendations — Kris Van Assche recommends Coke — and a briefing on the dining habits of fantastic men like Terry Richardson — he enjoys Sour Skittles for dessert.

Hot Track: Dirty Projectors

Former Yale music student and Björk collaborator Dave Longstreth has been the sole constant member in brooklyn-based band Dirty Projectors since they released The Glad Fact in 2003.

On their sixth album, Bitte Orca, to be released June 9 by Domino, Dirty Projectors have managed to meld Longstreth’s off-kilter compositional concerns with pop and R&B flirtations — the best result being “Stillness Is The Move” with it’s southern bounce and gamelan-like guitars. Please enjoy.

DJ Travel Insurance: Mighty Bloody Real

It’s taken me a long time to respond to Gingy so I figured I’d respond with a particularly tasty nugget.

This edit of Sylvester struck me for its sound, percussion, those synth dips and oh those keys.

You probably won’t hear this one on Saturday when Benzi comes through, but it’s one of my favorite things to play lately, so if the disco flows…

One of our favorite blogs, Create Digital Music, has the scoop on a new application called Tweet a Sound, where users can send synth patches back and forth via Twitter.

Check out the creator Andrew Spitz’s site for detailed instructions on how to use it.

RBG6 Does Pacemaker

Stockholm creative group RBG6, who are known just as much for their typeface design as they are for their TV spots, have just directed this infomercial for the portable DJ unit, Pacemaker.

While it may be funny news coming from a guy who DJs on one of these, I’ve always dreamed of being able to mix as I sit on the toilet or ride the streetcar — under a blacklight, of course.

Billy Bob Crazy!

08 April 2009

Billy Bob Crazy!

In hilariously spoiled brat news, Billy Bob Thorton, best known for his ACTING (and prodigiously making love to Angelina Jolie), got really angry at Jian Ghomeshi and Canadian music audiences in general when him and his band stopped by CBC this morning.

The reason for this hissy fit seems to revolve around the fact that he didn’t want the producers to make reference to his other career, but if you listen to the podcast, it seems like he doesn’t want to talk about music either.

Listen to the whole train wreck here
