Name your price for Girl Talk’s new album, Feed the Animals at Illegal Art. If you haven’t heard Girl Talk before, he’s a DJ who mixes, literally, hundreds of samples together to create his songs. He’s known for throwing pretty wild shows.
Two other MP3s to download from his Night Ripper album: Hold Up & Bounce That.
Enjoy!

Ok, I am certainly no photo expert, but I still think there are some cool pictures of the show… everyone was well received and we were all impressed that it was The Moses’ first show. Well done, guys.
Special thanks to Tom Daly for letting me borrow his low-light lens and giving me a few pointers for shooting.

Someone at the Space party referred to Cvillain as a really organized, really fun community bulletin board. To add to that warm fuzzy feeling:

Since, Shaun is out enjoying the proverbial roads, I thought I would share some proverbial roads with you.
Natasha Khan, the muse behind Bat for Lashes, was a recent discovery for me. As far as I know, she hasn’t really hit stateside, just yet. Her dark melodic tones and unique approach to both music and associated art have created an instant fan in me.
Check out her myspace page for some more song demos, but for today, enjoy the sound and visuals of “What’s a Girl to Do.”

I wanted to share one of the coolest pieces of art I’ve seen recently. The artist who refers to himself as “Blu” paints on public spaces in Argentina and then uses stop action photography to animate his art. It is truly amazing stuff and very original. Blu maintains a very interesting blog that you should read if you want deeper insights into the work. Can we please get Blu to come to Charlottesville?! I would love it. Would you?

I had to take over song of the day today after I saw this video of this three (?) year old baby singing Hey Jude. It’s pretty amazing to see the baby sing the song in its entirety from memory. I’ve also included a live performance from the Beatles. All after the break.
