Drunk Girls video
You’ve got my attention with the song title. Now what. A great video would suffice. Well, thanks to forward-looking James Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, and director Spike Jonze, we have an entertaining video for LCD’s new single, Drunk Girls. Murphy’s dance-punk musical stylings are complemented by an anything-goes, “panda’s gone wild,” experience that will have…

The Ghostly Bento packaging
Just came across The Ghostly Store and their special edition packaging for their 100th release: Manzoku: The Ghostly Bento. Only fifty boxes were handmade, so it’s a good bet that a lot of time, thought and craftsmanship was put into this limited edition release. It’s great to see the labels/merchants get passionate about their packaging.…

Poster Rockin’

Add to that distinguished list, Stuffed Crust, who has just created a beautiful piece for Crate Kings’ newest collection of remixed beats. Nice attention to detail. The black on white is minimalist, but strong. “Featuring 37…

Classics
Wired.com recently posted an article that examined the greatest album covers of all time. Diecuts, real zippers, gatefolds, mini books and flesh-colored bananas are all here, but these elements don’t mean anything unless they are backed up by a solid concept that is well executed. Enter Andy Warhol, The Beatles and Storm Thorgerson. The 1960’s…

With a new album brings a fresh, clean, intuitive site that keeps in line with the alternative and intelligent music created by this groundbreaking band. Easy to navigate, clubdevo is rich with interaction and…
