DJ Shadow's new track/video...

2011-11-30T01:36:00.001-08:00

Great song, Little Dragon seems to be cleaning up as of late. The video, though potentially BRILLIANT (the story could be told in a much more insane way) seems to have been done on a shoestring, perhaps to reflect the song title (did I just work that out while typing?). That said, using the memory man's story is such a stroke of genius, it hurts.

I'll be growing a gnarley bit of facial hair for the month of November in the hope that all you wonderful people will think I look stupid and deem that enough to donate to the 'Movember' charity (Prostate and other cancer charities), mad thinking eh!? We can only hope.
In all seriousness, it's a great cause, so if you can spare a drop of your dollar, would be amazing.

20 Hz from Semiconductor on Vimeo.

"Data is really dry. Anything that can be put into an impenetrable spreadsheet and turned into an equally incomprehensible graph or bar-chart is usually best left well alone. But Semiconductor think not, in fact they ruddy love the data – so much so in fact that they’ve actively sought out data from the The Canadian Space Agency to utilise in their latest project. 20Hz is an audiovisual maelstrom of an animation that takes raw data from electromagnetic storms and re-interprets it with sound and light, allowing us just a little insight into the weather systems of the cosmos. It’s pretty stunning."

2.8 Hours Later... (A quick, 'I'm actually at work' review)

2011-10-31T03:34:00.000-07:00

Right, so this Friday just passed, I went on a Zombie excursion. A 3 day event (one each day) where people are chased around the city by zombies. 2.8hrs Later.
It was ACE.
We were basically chased by moaning/screaming blood spitting zombies whilst we went from 'survivor' to 'survivor' (more actors to tell you a bit of story and then a co-ordinate to the next area). It was set in the back streets of Bermonsey, London. We went around dark alleys and streets, through building/pubs and were even made to battle our way to the top of a multi-story car park. All whilst evading the undead.

In this video (sorry its so shit, I was being chased by zombies) we are being told where to hed next by a mad butcher chopping meat in a dark section under a bridge, from the pitch black space behind him we can hear shuffling and moaning, then screams, then we are told to run through the darkness, past the zombies.
I very nearly 'excavated my demons'.
At the end was a zombie disco where the 'infected' were made-up as zombies and we all had a rather strange party.
10/10. Do it next year Londoners.
For a slighty better review... HERE.

INTERESTING FACT ALERT!: Zombies worth over $5 billion to economy.

yep... its ILLUSTRATOR SUNDAY!

So Drive is GREAT (saw it this weekend and literally had to verbally let the person next to me how excited I was [hiest scene]).
Anyway, 10 Point Review is also great, my new go to cinema review site, went on there and was greeted by every film I wanted to see and nothing else, muh'ah fucka knows my film tastes better than my own memory.
It's a new blog from Gordon Comstock (of 'NotVoodoo', pretty sure he's some creative ad guy [all the best blogs are by them/us]).
Here's his description...
"Yo.
I've started a film blog, called Ten Point Review. You should really read it.
I write a post about a film or a book in ten points, in an hour. I'm going to do one or two a week."

It's all about that rat...

2011-05-19T14:05:00.000-07:00

Rattus Rattus, must-see Dubstep/Mashup/Rave/the list goes on DJ, has been on the game (no, he's not a 'lady of the night', its just a figure of speech) for a few years and is doing BIG things across the UK right now, not to mention trembling the eardrums of thinking ravers everywhere. I heard about Rattus a couple of years ago through a friend of mine whom he gave one of his, now infamous, mixtapes to to play in his shop. This particular mix went by the name of 'Raped by Bass Vol.2' and as soon as I heard it I wanted it, like a rare
Pokemon. The cover was hand drawn in chunky marker and had a 90's cassette mixtape feel about it, I demanded a way of getting the mix myself and was graciously provided with THIS LINK where I was met by a full page of ratty goodness (which I now pass on to you like a proud father handing down a family heirloom). He's had his fingers in many musical pies, see his Google results (yeah thats right, I'm just throwing the internet at ya rasclat, get stuck in), Radio 1Xtra, Urban Nerds etc etc.
So anyway, Rattus, (who is a busy fella, has just done full mix for i-D Magazine) was kind enough to step behind the decks for 'Sweatyyetti' and spin us up a personal mix to get you all coiled and ready for the weekend, lovely chap... ENJOY...

Wisdom schmisdom...

2011-02-17T04:17:00.000-08:00

So... had my wisdom tooth out yesterday, thought I'd share the story with y'all.
After hearing endless tales from friends telling me how painful it would be (thanks you guys), I actually found the procedure far less harrowing that expected. I guess their plan was to build it up so much that when the event happened it was nothing, a bit like being persuaded to watch the Xfactor.
I know it wasnt a great way to cure those pre-dental jitters, but I was actually couldn't stop thinking about the 'Ren's Toothache' episode the whole time...

Anyway, I now have my tooth (obviously was always gonna keep it, never know when that little baby might come in handy right??), kinda feel like I should mix it up with frogs eyes and bats toes to make some sort of witches potion.
I feel like I gave birth to that tooth and it is now my duty to care for it and put it to good use. Im planning to keep it as some sort of lucky charm. Perhaps I can slip it back in my gum hole when I need my wisdom at full throttle.

The proud father ('s hand) and his creation.
A true beauty, I think you'll agree.

Yes, "Since 2003 his focus has moved to music: he produced two tracks on The Horrors' Mercury Prize--nominated Primary Colours; won a Cannes Golden Lion for his reworking of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" in his 2008 Gucci Flora commercial; and created audiovisual remixes for Gil Scott-Heron and Grace Jones. Recently, he has headlined festivals around the world with his new live show, and is presently working on his first audiovisual album."
I'm Excited.

IS A MOUSTACHE STILL A MOUSTACHE IF ITS ATTACHED TO A BEARD?

2010-11-02T07:44:00.000-07:00

Movember has arrived once again and I need a question to be quelled...

Would dearly love you (my lovely lovely readers) to answer this one for me if possible! Comment! Feedback! PLEASE!

Robin Ward:
Yes. In the way a sideburn is still a sideburn if it attached to hair. But then does a sideburn stop being a sideburn if attached to a beard? However i don't think a goatee is a goatee if it is attached to a beard - for obvious reasons. This is confusing. Maybe it is all about uniqueness of facial location - if it is - a moustache is always a moustache.

Michael de Soet:
it is def although it shows a lack of creativity

Julia Rizzolo Blackman:
I think you should investigate here: http://moustacheandbeardquarterly.blogspot.com/

Richard J. Massey:
How awfully Geschtalt

Jamie Bryce:
No, it must be detached from the beard. Otherwise it is just a part of the beard.

Matthew Mitchell-Camp:
It is but for the purposes of growvember it has to be a mustache on its own. Its not as comical or as much of a burden otherwise I don't think.

and so we continue...

That... was... Absolutely AWESOME!!! Actually shouting out loud as if I was there! I'm going in for a second view...

My comment after seeing my good friend Matt Stafford, from ad agency 'LBi', fisting someone in the ring.

Not quite as crude as I've made it sound, he and a select few others from LBi took on the neighbouring company of bankers for a bout of fisty cuffs in the Emirates stadium. All in the name of charity (Help for Heroes), Matt managed to raise a further lump sum with this clever bit of creative...

He sold sections of his body for to people, they in return got to place a design of their choice in that space, live ads on living ad space hence the name, 'The Brawling Billboard'.

and if you look very carefully you can see my addition (admitedly shitty, dont judge me it was a last minute thing, the last minute before midnight the day before) just beneath his left nipple, close to the heart, thanks shnookums...

Top banana Matt, brilliant work.

Gaspar Noe, the french director that brought you such audio/visual delights as 'Irreversible' (known for its horrific 12min rape scene) and the ultra depressing and life questioning 'I Stand Alone' has now brought out his new film (soon)... 'Enter the Void'.
The artwork for the film looks second to none and, as usual with Gaspars films, intense and assaulting.
The opening credits have been leaked and Im VERY impressed... (watch these on the youtube page as blogger is still cropping!)

Phew! Yep thats Thomas Bangalter (one half of Daft Punk) doing his destructive audio thing again.
Here's the films official trailer...

Definitely one to see at the cinema.

In the future we will all converse like this to save our mouth batteries...

A nice method to explore, looking forward to seeing more of this type of thing, might even try my hand at it myself...
More form the maker found at his FlickR page (infinitecontinutes), some of these make great iPhone wallpapers by the way.

Foffa Bikes - Guerilla Campaign

2010-08-11T11:02:00.000-07:00

My latest campaign (particularly proud so it has made it to the Yetti)...

This is the mock-up I sent one of the business partners after a chance encounter while out on my bike.
Check out my portfolio for a full set of photos from the night spray itself... HERE!
Great store, great bikes, great people. Believe the hype.

HD TV ad from Kanye West...

2010-08-10T02:29:00.000-07:00

..OK it's his new music vid but everybody's doing it, these slo-mo hi-res video pieces, stepping up the HD revolution. Liking Kanyes (well, Marco Brambilla's [great site]) effort here.
"Inspired by Michelangelo's frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment - an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption."
To watch I'd suggest opening in Youtube and giving it the fullscreen 1080p it deserves rather than the shitty blogger 2/3s of a screen look (ahem.. Blogger! SORT IT).

Nice.

2010-08-02T02:23:00.000-07:00

I would love to se this re-filmed and edited by a professional, Full 1080p and without the 'dudes' rambling on about how much their hands are burning.
Can totally see that making it into the Saatchi Gallery. Someone please do it!

LOVE these big collaborative campaigns, youtube do them bloody well too.
"Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald discusses his latest project, Life In A Day: a historic global experiment to create a user-generated documentary film shot in a single day.
On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin."
The film will premiere at the Sundance festival 2011 and, should you get your footage shown, you will be put into the credits as a co-director, with the possibility of being one of 20 to be taken to the festival with Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald.

Hermes kicks... HERMES KICKS. I will never wear them, but I want them. Just like one of those lilo-shaped kites that lifts you up into the air, which for the record I also really want.

This guys got balls, I saw him on another DVD going to Chernobyl where he had to drink copious amounts of vodka to slow the effects of the severe radioactivity in the area.
Love Vice.

Visual creative wizardry using Flash/after Effects/Cinema 4D. Love the obvious experimental style he has, looks so alluring. Its brilliant when people take a medium to one of its infinite limits. Adobe never had this in mind.

Cannes Lions...

2010-06-29T07:09:00.000-07:00

A real sad story...

2010-06-29T06:24:00.000-07:00

Right Im gonna tell you all this once, and this is the last thing im ever going to say on the matter as the pain is just too unbearable to keep with me, after this last telling of the story im cutting the cord...
So, after reading my last post you will have gained that I was heading to Glastonbury festival last Thursday, I was so excited, Bags packed, youtube videos watched to hype myself up, alcohol brought and plastic bottled, I even borrowed an old phone so that I wouldn't have to rely on a shitty iphone battery, basically we were all set and ready to rock. I fell asleep the night before with butterflies in my stomach and even did that little 'running on the spot while laying down' thing you used to do when it was christmas eve as a kid. Next morning I woke up, an hour before my alarm, and rolled around with my eyes closed and slowly remembered that it was the day we were off to Glasto, happy. Then, as I rolled over, I felt a small uncomfortableness in my neck just below the right side of my jaw and I felt it with my fingertips. A small painful lump, about the size of a sachet of ketchup and as soon as I had felt it I knew exactly what it was... MUMPS (my girlfriend and her housemates had gotten it 2 weeks ago). Fucking mumps, and I havent really left my room since. Physically lumpy and emotionally scarred.
"These things happen", you might say, and "theres always next year" but this one was a special one, It was the 40th, it was the World Cup, but most of all it was sunny, VERY SUNNY. for those of you from outside the UK Its virtually never sunny at Glastonbury festival, kind of an ongoing joke.
So despite my saying in my last post I would have a full Glasto review... I don't... just a real sad story... and a (now boiled egg sized) mump on my jaw.
...still, these things happen, theres alway next year.

ARGH!...

and ARRRRGHHH!!!...

Ladies and gents...

2010-06-22T10:58:00.000-07:00

Im doing some top secret guerilla-style advertising around London tonight so keep your peepers out for it tomorrow!
Also I will be galavanting off to Glastonbury (if you hadn't realised that yet) so my next post will be the next coming Monday, I know. I know, "but Josh, how will I cope without your marvellous words and delectable digital titbits?!?", You will just have to fill that void by reading a good book or looking up the days events at the festival thereby possibly seeing me and imagining me giving you a youtube link.
Keep your ears, and eyes, pricked up for the Glastonbury story on MONDAY.

Augmented festival app that may actually be of real use! HELLO!

2010-06-21T09:07:00.000-07:00

FREE purchase of this functional masterpiece (dont quote me on that, just saying its gonna be a good one to have [providing you dont have a bloody iPhone without anything less than a generator strapped onto it])... HERE!
From what I can quickly gather from the picture, You can see where all the stages are and who's playing now and next very quickly and easily, good for those blurred moments spent bumbling around lost looking for someone you know after heading for the toilets because you couldn't hold on to that 2 pinter any longer, even if it did mean you would miss the end of your favorite band/DJ...
AND (jesus, you guys are getting your Glasto rocks off here eh?) a full and timed line up for the festival so that those of you that are going can spend hours making a list of exactly who you want to see and those who aren't going can set up your Sky Plus, bite your fists and vow to go next year... OFFICIAL FULL LISTINGS WITH TIMES.

Shangri-La ad, Thanks to Sharan Zwister for this beauty...

I love the filmic use of Tilt-Shift (A new method a lot of people are getting involved with at the moment which makes the subject seem smaller, and more toy-like, than it actually is using fore/background blurring and increasing the contrast and colour etc) in various frames of this short, really excentuates the fagility of the lost traveller.
More Tilt-Shift examples... HERE.

Stussy & Jarvis collab...

2010-06-15T02:37:00.000-07:00

Stussy and illustrator James Jarvis have teamed up to create a set thats promotes responsible street culture, not great for the brand im thinking but a great set of images all the same thanks Jarvis! After meeting James last year I have been looking to procure a graphic of his to meet the illustration he gave me and I think one of this new set will be the decider (you can see the set near the end in the video below)...

A sticky end to BP.. well the word anyway...

"As the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to wreak havoc on the environment and residents along the gulf shore, this plugin may not do much to stop the oil, but it’s a nice way to express anger and outrage over BP’s response (or lackthereof)."
