RIP Steve Jobs. Through your vision, design and innovation our life has improved. From this humble little blog - thanks for changing the way music and information is consumed. Limitless exploration with the world at our fingertips... that is a beautiful thing.
It's not often that I throw up a post about a film... but I must implore you to experience the greatness of Drive. The film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn has a pulse and pace like no other picture I've experienced before. Refn's fresh take on cinematography, focus on timing and soundtrack all work seamlessly together in order to create a modern, yet throwback feel; that can only be best described as an assault on your senses.
The soundtrack was curated by Cliff Martinez (who has an impressive resume to his name). One of my favorite tunes from the soundtrack is below... give it a listen and then do your best to see this in the theatre. I still can't shake it.
Wilco wants to reward everyone's hard work this Labor Day with a 24 hour stream of their upcoming album The Whole Love.
They sent out the below note (excerpt) to their email list and well, you've pretty much got the scoop.
You can also pre-order the new album via their interweb store and through ANTI- Records. Also, stream the first single below whilst your at it.
Your bbq playlist just got a whole lot easier, huh?
"... we're gonna do a special under-the-radar stream of the new record tomorrow for Wilcoworld only. Here's the deal -- as a reward for your labors, ours, and those of our forefathers/mothers -- starting at 12 Noon Central time tomorrow (Saturday) and for 24 hours straight we're gonna stream The Whole Love in its entirety, at wilcoworld.net. That's right. Your first chance to hear the whole thing is tomorrow. Trust us, you'll be glad you made time to check it out."
