Found this awesome video on Vimeo the other day. It’s a short webisode promoting the film Rip City. Rip City is a film about skateboarders in Portland. I haven’t seen it, probably never will. This webisode promoting the film is pretty dope though. Check out what this skater does to kill time:

Found this video on Gym Class Magazine the other day. It’s just a really awesome video showing why print is still amazing and why it’s not going to croak anytime soon.

Looks like Meg Hunt has a new project, the Picture Book Report. Fifteen radical illustrators will create art inspired by their favorite books. Three of the projects were announced today: Sam Bosma vs The Hobbit, Meg Hunt vs Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, and Will Bryant vs Peter Pan & Wendy. Three more will be announced tomorrow. Illustrations from these projects will begin popping up on February 8. Keep two eyed peeled on this project, it’s guaranteed to be awesome.

Andy Rementer, animated. That’s something that I think should have happened a long time ago. The animation below is to promote the 2010 Virgin London Marathon, and was produced with Saint at RKCR/Y&R. The animation is simple yet amazing. Ch-ch-check it out.

I really think Andy Rementer animated is an amazing idea. How rad would it be to see Techno Tuesday animated? I’m hoppin’ in the future Andy gets to do more animations.

I am a huge Animal Collective fan! Which is why I am super excited about their new visual album, ODDSAC, that just premiered at Sundance. Check out the trailer for the film below.

As you can see from the trailer the film looks super experimental. It’s described as a visual album, so I am not sure if there will be a plot. Either way it’s Animal Collective, so it’s guaranteed to be packed full of eye candy and radical music.

Stones Throw knows how to do limited edition. Below is a video from the release party for Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 on vinyl. It’s a really rad and shows how each cover is unique.

I really wish that companies would do this more. I’m really tired of seeing something hyping itself up as limited edition, when it isn’t. They just added some extra tracks or a behind the scene feature, change the cover a lil’ bit, and make just as many copies as they did with the original. When I used to buy a ton of DVDs 95 percent of them said limited or special edition. In reality though there was nothing limited or special about it. How rad would unique a silk-screened DVD cover be? I think that’s why I like what Stones Throw did for the vinyl.

1,000 copies were made. Each one is hand numbered. Each one is unique. Vinyl collectors should really check it out. I’ve heard the album, trust me it’s good. I also should mention that this is the first in a twelve month series of records from Madlib. Can’t wait for next one.

Radical side note: The limited edition DVD of House of the Devil is coming out and it comes with VHS tape of the movie. This is also limited to 1,000 copies.
