Samurai Champloo

I found that Hulu is hosting the full story of Samurai Champloo. Check it out. It is a mix between tradition Japan & hip-hop.
If you like the art and story the cartoonist also wrote a story that is futuristic bounty hunting mixed with jazz.

Sterilization

Here are some videos with sterile settings:

Joanna Newsom

Joanna Newsom just released another new album. It is three discs long and you can hear the whole thing at NPR:

NIghtmare Jersey Proof

Hey,
The proof just got mailed to my house. Check it out. I am going to have the writing on the side panel be enlarged but that is about it. Let me know what you think?

Beef Stew All-Stars

Growing up I used to love baseball cards. On a recent trip home I looked through some of these cards and it brought to my attention something about baseball that has always been there, people you would never think are professional athletes are... in the MLB. Some of these portraits are just mesmerizing.
Anyways, you be the judge. Who is your favorite All-Star?
This whole subject has lead me to want to make a new t-shirt of my favorite Beef Stew All-Star. Keep your eyed posted for that.

The low down on Graffiti

I have been looking for this video for a long time. It pretty much sums everything up to someone who doesn't know much about this subject:

LSD no hitter

Speaking of cartoons.
I found this cartoon on-line of Doc Ellis. He tells the story of when he through a no-hitter against the Padres. Awesome all around:


The people that brought you this, No Mas, also did a ditty about one of my favorite artists, James Brown:

Gorillaz, Plastic Beach

Jamie Hewlett is one of my favorite cartoonists of all time. He created Tank Girl and is the artist for the cartoon band Gorillaz.
Gorillaz are coming out with a new album, Plastic Beach, and are going to be performing at Coachella, in the meantime:

New artists, well at least to me.

First off we have Fever Ray, who comes to us by ways of The Knife. I have been a big fan for a long time. This solo album is probably the best I have heard all year. She is an artist through and through and you can see it in her videos.


Here is an awesome video she collaborated with Royksopp:

My second favorite album so far has been from Little Dragon:


I found this on an artists blog. His name is So-Me. He does the cover art for Justice and some others on Ed Banger's record label. I can't find this group anywhere else on the web. If you find out, let me know:


I just downloaded the new release from The XX:



Andrea and I have been really into Fela Kuti ever since we saw a rendition of one of his songs on Colbert. Another artist who went all out:


Now for the Hip Hoppers,
Just a classic, no diggity, no doubt. I have a feeling Dr.Dre's music will be around for a long time:


Of all the groups that fuze jazz and hip hop, A Tribe Called Quest definitly does it best:


This one has just been stuck in my head, downloaded the single, don't have the album though. Damien Marley. I heard he has an album coming out with NaS:


This one is just hilarious. Diplo is the producer for MIA. He has a new group called Major Lazor, not such a big fan but some might like it. Well I like the video at least:

Major Lazer "Keep it Going Louder" from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

Thats it for today. Should have more soon.

Fall Quarter Project

Thought I should just post this because the address is long. This was my Fall statistical programming project. It is an interactive data visualization of "Digg.com". It represents the 100 most popular articles right now. If you allow pop-up windows for my site you can click on the buttons and articles and you will be taken to the article. Also it helps viewing the page on a larger screen, laptops might cut most of the page off. This project was done with my friend and fellow roadie Alex Steiner. Hope you like.

Email me for a full look. I am having problems posting the image.

Hello Internets

Hello all,
I decided to create a blog. Why? I wanted to create a filter for the internet. I feel I find interesting things all the time, but I don't want to email a list of people about it, especially if it is a stupid video. So, I decided to blog about the stuff I find interesting.
I am assuming this blog will mostly be filled with music, art, video and the ocassionally interesting article that I think people should check out.
Well, I hope you guys find this interesting.
