TV On The Radio - Will Do.
There’s nothing you can do to contain our excitement for the new TVOTR album.
NOTHING!!!

Blinky™ wants to be your friend.
And we all wants a Blinky™. Starring Max Records* of Where The Wild Things fame, Blinky is a futuristic story from the future, in which we all has helpful robots who play hide and seek and perve on babe robots.
There’s currently no official word on whether writer/director Ruairi Robinson** has manufacturing rights to the fictional droid, but me thinks he’s busy in the basement.

*side note: we wants his name.
**double side note: it’s pronounced Raw-Ree and he can keep it.
Friday recipe for success: 4 parts Black Lips, 1 part Mark Ronson.
So hands up who’s anxiously snapping M&C branded pencils in anticipation for the Ronson-produced future-indie-cult success Arabia Mountain? *hand skyrockets, dislocating writer’s shoulder*
Here’s a teaser - the first video in which the Black Lips party on a boat (sans flipping dolphins and shit), with co-indie-darlings Vivian Girls. etc, etc. I can’t speak for the whole agency, but I just got a whiff of the weekend. 7:59:23 and counting.

ps: hands up if you’ve seen the BL tear apart a Brooklyn club? *other hand skyrockets, rendering writer useless for Friday’s remaining 7:53:17*
Shibuyakasha.
This aGIF is so transfixing, I blacked out for a few minutes and came-to holding two tickets to Tokyo, two for Fuji Rock Fest and a very emo credit card. So I guess me and Bec will go start M&C Saatchi Tokyo.
What’s that?
I see.

Future Mix Master.
We’re getting new speakers for Christmas, here at M&C. And hopefully, one of these contraptions to match.
According to the Töken website, “Vinyl is for dinosaurs. CDs are for lazy dinosaurs”. Both of which I’d like to see. The only thing left to understand, is why house music is still a part of the future. It was scheduled to die a painful death many moons ago.

Oh snap! Girl Talk got infographicked!
According to my ‘know it all’ computer, infographicked isn’t a word. Pft. It’s almost 2011 folks. People are getting infographicked every day.
Today’s innocent bystander is mashup king, Girl Talk. His latest LP, All Day, has been lashing the M&C speakers for weeks. And for weeks we’ve been studying every single sample over at All Day Samples in preparation for a ‘sample off’ at the next hipster-nerd party. But ADS is an ugly site. So you could image our relief when the vector-heads at Fast Company announced this graphic tastiness.
Queue the sighs of relief.

Sunday mashup distraction.
What’s that? You’re working on the weekend too? Swell. Here’s a little something to break up the day slash add to your roadtrip mix. That is, if you ever get outta the office.
The nice peeps at Mover Shaker craftily slapped together some Beasties x Jigga x Kids of 88. Let’s procrastinate shall we.

Hello Summer Festivals Pt.5
Yesterday’s best news? Best Coast are coming for Golden Plains! Let’s celebrate with their recent vid for Boyfriend. In which Bethany sings about me*.

Will.I.Am vs Will it blend.
Who would’ve thought that would ever be a ‘thing’. The nerdly folk over at Rubber Republic have infographiced the heck outta the internet’s most notorious campaigns of 2010.
I’m happy to admit that I am not responsible for bumping up the numbers on the B.E.P or Shakira’s World Cup songs. Or anything to do with Twilight. Nike, Old Spice and watching an iPad suffer - guilty as charged.
Check out the full graphic here.

Jonze v Gondry v Cunningham.
You know I love a good list. Gosh darnit we all know I love the music videos. And as for the 90’s - meh. But one look at Pitchfork’s Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s and the nostalgia of waking up early on a saturday (MTV didn’t hit NZ until recently) to watch out for the latest hits came flooding back.
Shock horror, the list is dominated by the greats. And for good reason. Those dudes made the most of the money and medium back in those heydays. But the moral of the story - you just can’t beat a good idea. Call in sick and max your broadband here.

The Naked and Famous dream weird.
According to my iTunes, Punching in a Dream has pumped through my WESC’s 973 times since it was released - last week. I didn’t think it was possible, but then you hear Alisa’s voice washing over those circuit melting synths and you know why.
And guess who’s responsible for the eye candies? You know it’s your boys Joel and Campbell of Special Problems. Those guys. Hey, so go buy the single (NZ iTunes). It costs $1.79, which by my nerdulations equals less than .1c per listen.

Hey you. Yeah, the kid who’s asleep in the Marketing One-Oh-Whatever class. Save yourself the massive debt and quit your degree today. Just go see the movie everyone in the world ever is talking about (if you haven’t already (loser)).
According to Gregory Birge, Inception is a blueprint for an analogy within a concept. Or something. He suckered me in with worlds like Non-Linear and Multiple Dimensions, then lost be at Marketing Totem. Still it’s an interesting (and cheaper than a $4,000 textbook) read. If you’re into that kind of thing.

It’s pay day!
And like all good consumers, I spent all my hard earned cash before I properly woke up. To be specific, I got a new Poketo! wallet. Or two. It’s cool, cos I need a new place to keep my earnings. But now it’ll be empty ‘til next the 15th. Blast.
The new Perverse Universe range includes styles from Matt Furie, Jon Vermilyea and Louie Cordero. It’s like Juxtapoz spewed in your back pocket.

Someone get this man an ad job. Stat.
Sure, his art direction’s a little off. His punctuation could use a little work. And he’s not draped in advertising black. But his lateral thinking is spot on.

Spot the cliches.
This Art School Cliche Spotting ‘app’ is pretty nifty. Take it along to your favourite UK graduation evening and laugh at the expense of those who have bled their fingers dry for the past four years. The little suckers have no idea that their pride and joy has been done to death since forever.
However, It misses the best cliche of all. Washed up designers who tour graduation shows to steal ideas and drink cheap red wine.
