Fear[s] Of The Dark- Trailer/ Mini Review / Focus On French Film @ SUNY Purchase

I want to give you a head's up on one of the better events that has become a annual success @ SUNY Purchase. During the weekend of April 9-11th, the Focus French Film Festival comes on campus, screens films, and gives away free food. Some of the best modern French Film is screened throughout the campus, most of the screenings occur at the PAC (Performing Arts Center) but some are screened in the Humanities Theater located in the Humanities Building.

One of the films being screened during this year's festival, is titled Fear[s] Of The Dark . A collection of animated short films that not only frighten the soul, but provide for some of the most beautiful cinematic artwork I've ever seen on a screen.

The Hold Steady- Hurricane J

This song was released earlier this week and I can't stop listening. I'm so excited for this release and this band and the future for late guys in their 30's playing rock n roll. Go catch them before the mid-life crisis'.

Sex G-d Cowboy

i love these videos.

Kitsune Noir

Usually blogs have little lasting effect on my memory. I came across Kitsune about two years ago, and forgot about it, came back to it, forgot about it again. Not only is this blog spectacularly creative in the material it covers, but Bobby Solomon (the creator) fuses both fashion, design, and music together in his stylish and innovative blogging.


Every week he releases a Mixcast featuring different songs his commenters suggest or songs he throws together for a supberb free downloadable mix.

This is volume 29.

I strongly suggest if you choose one website to get lost in today, pick this one. If you enjoy innovative art and design or want to discover some new jams, this is your website.

The New Ted Leo

I'm diggin. I really like that Ted Leo is almost 40 years old and still one of the coolest people on the planet. Here's a clip from earlier this year @ The Meat Locker.




He also has did a co-interview with Spin talking to Paul Weller (The Jam) they talk to each other.... about each other. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react when reading two artists conversation about how great the other one is, but I didn't mind this one too much.



How lucky is Jools Holland?

Listen to Ted Leo, listen to Paul Weller, smoke crack like Amy Winehouse.
