A CD review!? I know, I cant remember the last time i paid for a CD either, but the other day I stumbled across this preview edit of Do It To You 3 by Burlesque, and I was sold. If your into the b-more vibe, you’ll be all over this. Its got new tracks from Bird Peterson, DZ, Bassanova, Jimmy 2 Times, and others. Even if bmore aint your thing, theres a grip of sample worthy cuts to check out. Two of the tracks that stood out for me:

Bird Peterson – My Wackadoo Trip to the Oral Surgeon

Starts off disco funky and then hits with you just the right amount filth.

Willy Joy – Into You

This one’s got an epic vocal hook sitting on a grungy bassline with some bmore styled breakdowns to keep you moving.

Brandon Hirzel (aka “Bemo”) and The Glitch Mob proudly present “Beyond Monday,” an experimental installation of art and sound. Live electronic music meets architectural projection-mapping synchronized in the depths of the Los Angeles’ industrial district, painting life back into the urban landscape through the celebration of electronic music, motion-design and film. Cinematographer David Myrick captures The Glitch Mob as they play Jazzmutant Lemur MIDI controllers in sync with Bemo’s detailed visual creations. Utilizing the city as their canvas and technology as their medium, this is truly a unique collaboration. “Beyond Monday” pushes the boundaries of modern digital art and marries the latest technologies in electronic music, motion design and film.

“…But its their original tune Baggy Bottom Boys that has become a signature anthem – an enormous dance track thats as moody as it is ecstatic. Its a perfect introduction to JOTS, whose sound continues to mutate from straight-up club bangers into a deeper, darker strain of electronic dance music thats completely original and exciting.

The BBB video captures all these contrasts and complexities in glorious, stroboscopic black & white, filmed at two particularly wild JOTS shows in Boston and Ottawa by Julian Wadsworth (aka Red Foxxworth) and chopped up with glee by LA-based video vanguard, Demonbabies.”

This came out a couple months back, but is still utterly amazing. I had only seen it once and had forgotten about it till just today when I was browsing around the Fool’s Gold Records Facebook page. You know you’re down!

BKTV w/ Gemini Club from Boy Kings on Vimeo.

What up y’all! My buddies up at BoyKings just posted this dope video of a live performance of up and coming band Gemini Club. Homies Black Holes and Kid Color (Hot Biscuits) also make an appearance. If you look closely, maybe you can see me!

Also, it’s been awhile since i’ve posted any tracks so here is a delicious little morsel.
James Curd – We Just Won’t Stop

So my favorite blog hosted this design contest during the month of December. They were looking for album art for their mp3′s and a logo, and I was fortunate enough to win the album art section! Illustrator extraordinaire, Brett Stenson, won the logo portion of the contest, so go check his isht out too. He’s got some great work up on his flickr!

Here’s the design that ended up winning:

Here’s another submission that didn’t win:

They also gave me a post and an interview that you can see here! Thanks Squeegie!

So its basically been a full week since I’ve posted…eep. But, I’ve finished off all my finals and now I can get back in the game!

I try not to use this blog as an outlet for incessant self-promotion, but I’d like to share some design work I’ve done thats finally on sale! I work for a clothing company based out of Denver, CO that works primarily in the winter sports market, but we have branched out to locations in 14 different countries, including, Paris, Seoul, Whistler, Barcelona, and for you local kids, San Francisco at D-Structure on 520 Haight St!

Support MadeService™ design and pick some up. The Desert Wolf comes in a shnazzy V-Neck! Another interesting note about Jiberish t-shirts, before I go ahead and post the work, is that they’re very slim fit, and a little bit longer than your normal tee. Nice for layering, and for us skinny kids out their that can’t rock a normal L (I’m quite tall and skinny..ha).
