Heartless Handshakes

2012-02-13T10:51:00.000-05:00

Visuals for "Bonfire" were a little weird, but Gambino bounced back with this.

Sounds like Justice produced this. Would be cool if actually true.

Short Film: Skrillex - Mothership Tour

2012-02-13T10:49:00.000-05:00

A Week In Montana by Preston Kanak

2012-02-02T11:26:00.000-05:00

I enjoy solitude, especially in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes you have to go off the grid for awhile to keep your sanity.

"I recently spent a week in Montana with F9 Photo & Eric Hines. This video was shot in various locations around Montana.
This film was shot with the Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 14mm 2.8, Canon 50mm 1.2, Canon 70-200mm 2.8, Canon 24-105mm, Kessler Crane Cineslider, Shuttlepod, and Oracle Systems."

Abraj: The two towers of Dubai by Philip Bloom

2012-01-27T15:09:00.001-05:00

"Abraj: Plural of Burj which is Arabic for Tower.

Timelapse video featuring the two iconic towers of Dubai. The Burj Al Arab and the world's tallest building. The Burj Khalifa.

Commisioned to shoot various timelapses of the Emirate by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. This is an edit I put together for myself of some of my favourite shots. Including some amazing views from 154 floors up on the Burj Khalifa."

This is the greatest timelapse I've ever seen.

Tiesto: In The Booth - Episode 2 (Las Vegas)

2012-01-27T14:32:00.002-05:00

This lifestyle is insane.

***BONUS***

Tiesto: In The Booth - Episode 3 (Miami)

DJ Carnage - Loaded (Theophilus London Doing The "Robot")

2012-01-25T14:17:00.000-05:00

Why didn't this song catch on? 100000x better than any song Lil' B ever dreamt up.

Also, I got a kick out of Theophilus London is this. Peep the part when he feeds the girl a strawberry.

PS This isn't a bad video IMO. Considering it was shot in a kitchen with a lo-fi DSLR. DIY #FTW.

PROJECT NY Jan 2012 Recap

2012-01-25T12:19:00.000-05:00

Directed by Marcus Troy. This is interesting. Worth at least a few minutes of your time.

A Walk in the Park - Tom Wallisch

2012-01-25T10:42:00.000-05:00

Never really got into skiing, but it doesn't take an expert to know that serious gnar was shred for this video. So sick. Kind of makes me want to strap up and thrown down on the slopes.

Armin van Buuren feat. Laura V. Drowning (Avicii Remix)

2012-01-25T10:37:00.000-05:00

Been listening to this all morning. Avicii again with the massive production. Two of the biggest DJs in the world right here. Incredible.

Mike Posner - Looks Like Sex

2012-01-25T10:35:00.000-05:00

Wow. First official visuals from Mike Posner's sophomore album titled Sky High.

Second albums are hugely critical for artists and from the looks of it, Posner is putting himself in position to stay in the limelight for awhile. Cheers to that.

ASAP Rocky - Wassup

2012-01-23T12:04:00.003-05:00

"Clothes get weirder, money get longer."

Paul Rodriguez Transworld Skateboarding 30th Anniversay Interview

2012-01-23T11:21:00.000-05:00

Been a huge fan of P-Rod for a minute. Dope City Stars shout out. That was my favorite skate brand back in the day. Word to Kareem Campbell for putting it down on Tony Hawke's Pro Skater for Playstation.

Avicii - My Feelings For You

2012-01-19T21:08:00.003-05:00

Filmed at LIV Nightclub in Miami. Does this exist in Boston?

Modern Day Artisans: Sebastian Tarek (Hypebeast TV)

2012-01-19T20:50:00.000-05:00

HBTV: Modern Day Artisans - Sebastian Tarek from HBTV on Vimeo.

As is often the case within the realm of specialized trades and niche skill sets, the growing shift toward accelerated efficiency has begun to drive out the once revered group of craftsman. In our latest HBTV feature Modern Day Artisans we highlight a range of individuals who have become experts in their field, effectively maintaining the authenticity, originality and art of their respective trade.

Lil' Wayne x Karmaloop Present: TRUKFIT

2012-01-19T20:42:00.000-05:00

Weezy trying his hand in the skate culture. We'll see if it sticks.

Kaskade at Electric Daisy Carnival 2010

2012-01-19T20:36:00.001-05:00

Hip hop shows cannot compete.

OCD: Moosh & Twist - Hold It Down

2012-01-19T20:29:00.001-05:00

I like Moosh & Twist's pedigree, especially when Rex Arrow brings it to life. They are one or two mixtapes from making major blog headlines.

A Day in Barcelona by Andrew Zenn

2012-01-19T20:17:00.001-05:00

Recently chopped it up with a talented director named Andrew Zenn. We've got some great things coming up in the near future. Stay tuned, folks.

Tiesto: In The Booth (Episode 1)

2012-01-19T20:12:00.000-05:00

Imagine consistently being the best at something in the entire world. Like, general consensus says you're the best at what you do. There is no quantified or calculated formula. None of that, just poplar opinion. Well, Tiesto knows all too well what that feels like. He's been widely considered the number one DJ in the world for several years now. It's kind of like like Tiger Woods was dominating the PGA for so long. Unreal.

Mike Posner and MGK Shut Down Kent State

2012-01-19T20:03:00.001-05:00

Two guys I've been following since the beginning of their careers. Good to see them performing on the same stage. One hand washes the other.

Chiddy Bang - Ray Charles

2012-01-06T12:16:00.000-05:00

I thought Chiddy Bang would choose to go with something a little more massive for their first single, but I guess this will suffice. In any event, the Philly duo's long-awaited debut album Breakfast comes out on February 28!

Mac Miller - Of The Soul

2012-01-06T09:59:00.000-05:00

It's amazing how Mac Miller's music videos bring his songs to life. That's what videos are supposed to do, I suppose. It's supposed to take your opinion on a song, flip you upside down, and give you a fresh perspective that substantially augments your appreciation for the music. Thumbs up.

Kaskade Stereosonic Australia 2011

2012-01-06T09:54:00.001-05:00

Kaskade in NYC: Halloween 2001 Roseland Ballroom

2011-12-22T19:07:00.000-05:00

Kaskade put out one of the albums of the year. Show looked nuts.

The Airplane Boys in New York City

2011-12-21T12:59:00.000-05:00

Looks like they made their rounds in October. CMJ, labels, magazines, Karmaloop, etc... They're doing all the right things to get their foot in the door.

Real Estate - It's Real

2011-12-21T10:59:00.000-05:00

One of my favorite songs of the year. If I were to take an atumn crosscountry road trip, this song would be a great late afternoon choice while cruising the scenic roads of the midwest.

Dada Life - Kick Out The Epic Motherf**ker (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

2011-12-21T10:43:00.000-05:00

Common - Sweet

2011-12-20T11:25:00.001-05:00

Whoa. Shots fired! Drake, you hearing this?

Short Film: CÎROC Luck Be a Lady

2011-12-20T10:02:00.001-05:00

This is a great short. Kind of like a modern day Rat Pack, complete with models, television mobsters, and, of course, Ciroc.

P.S. Chad Michael Murray? Seems kind of random. Hilarious, still.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Tour: East Coast Episode 3

Wale - Barry Sanders

2011-11-29T21:18:00.001-05:00

Probably Wale's best video yet.

Avicii - Levels (Official Video)

2011-11-29T20:50:00.002-05:00

Here it is. The official "Levels" music video via VEVO. Not anywhere as epic as I imagined it would be, but it's still the jam of the year.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: West Coast Fall Tour Episode 1

2011-11-29T20:46:00.000-05:00

2011-11-29T20:42:00.000-05:00

My friend Hoodie Allen just wrapped a summer/fall tour. Couple crazy shows to kick things off, typical Hoodie.

Avicii - Levels (YouTube Video)

2011-11-17T19:57:00.000-05:00

Pretty cool if you ask me. My favorite part is the drunken argument at the eating establishment that turns into a mini acoustic rave.

Short Film: Gatorade, "Go All Day"

2011-11-17T11:19:00.000-05:00

Gatorade easing their way into the skateboarding culture.

One of the best songs of the year.

One day the world will believe Cuey as much as I do.

Hi Nicki.

Common - Blue Sky

2011-10-31T11:29:00.001-04:00

I'm hearing whispers that this might be Common's best album. I'm reserving judgement though.

Chairlift - Bruises

2011-10-31T11:03:00.000-04:00

Ever put your everything into a relationship with someone and they give you nothing in return? Love is going to destroy us all.

Money Team cameo. Some guys just can't handle vegas.

Avicii - LE7ELS

2011-10-27T15:37:00.000-04:00

This song is global. LE7ELS drops on Halloween.

Duck Sauce - The Big Bad Wolf

2011-10-26T16:23:00.000-04:00

Might be the one of the most memorable videos in recent history. Delightfully tacky.

Martin Solveig & Dragonette ft. Idoling - Big In Japan

2011-10-26T15:22:00.000-04:00

Same vibes, different song. I think you'll like this one.

These guys are from Toronto. They have potential. Keep them on your radar.

5:46 am

2011-10-25T11:16:00.000-04:00

Halloween is right around the corner. Thought I'd throw some abstract/bizarre video out there. Take it for what it's worth I suppose.

M83 - Midnight City

2011-10-25T10:50:00.000-04:00

M83's new album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is pretty damn good. Pitchfork, who is universally known for their holier-than-thou reviews, actually gave the French indie pop band a 9.1 for their latest effort. Not bad, not bad at all.

Outsight - Figure 8

2011-10-25T10:35:00.000-04:00

I met Outasight for the first time last night at House of Blues and we chopped it up for a while. Looks like Pepsi is going to push him, much like Mountain Dew is pushing The Cool Kids with Green Label Sound. Exposure like that, especially for an emerging artist, is priceless and can build a fan base much more quickly than organic, city-to-city touring can build. Wish nothing but the best for OU and his team.

Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji - Pressure (Alesso Edit)

2011-10-21T10:46:00.003-04:00

One of the biggest records of the year. Too bad the video sucks.

Sidebar: Alesso and Avicii are the remixers of the year IMO.

Manufactured Superstars featuring Scarlett Quinn - Take Me Over

2011-10-20T16:14:00.000-04:00

I wanna work my freak on you. Pretty muchs sums it up.

Just had a convo with Ernest about this video. Shit got real here.

Childish Gambino, Making of "Camp"

Fantastic song. Great video. Google Saint Motel if you aren't already familiar.

Robyn - Hang With Me

2011-10-17T10:11:00.000-04:00

This song is about a year old but I still rock with it. Electropop, FTW!!

Shad - Rose Garden

2011-10-14T11:13:00.002-04:00

Heard this while spinning in the DC to BC turntable.fm room. The realness.

Fabolous Featuring Mike Shorey - Make U Mine

2011-10-14T10:03:00.000-04:00

1) This beat is bangs hard in the whip, and 2) No one was touching Fab when it came to throwbacks.

Allen Stone - Unaware

2011-10-13T10:49:00.001-04:00

Blown away. He tears it down at 4:00.

Honestly, I don't know why he isn't being pushed by a major label. What are execs thinking???????

Jadakiss - Knock Yourself Out

2011-10-12T16:57:00.000-04:00

Neptunes on the production. Pharrell on the hook. Jaguar XJ220. Melyssa Ford. Gucci AF1s. 2001 was a great year for hip hop.

Really looking forward to this album. Classic Americana. Drops 11/8.

Robin Thicke Featuring Pharrell - Wanna Love You Girl

2011-10-05T10:28:00.000-04:00

Few songs have grown on me like this did. I remember my good friend James from Roxbury Latin sent me the .mp3 on AIM and was like "WTF this is Robin Thicke. You remember Allen Thicke from Growing Pains? This is his son and he's signed to Star Trak and has a song with Pharrell. This shit is whack!!" I listened and agreed. I initally thought that the vocals were weak, which I still think they are on this song, and the production was lacking. But looking back, I think it's a brilliantly crafted song nonetheless. This was one of the songs that told me to never question Pharrell's musical genius.

The Business of Football

Na Palm - Two Days Straight [Official Music Video]

2011-09-26T10:04:00.005-04:00

Whoa. This sets the gold standard when it comes to independently funded music videos. This is proof that independent artists can get it poppin with NO MAJOR LABEL SUPPORT!!

Although I'm not a huge fan of everything Na Palm puts out, I will admit that this song gets out of control just before the dubstep breakdown at 1:47. Like, if this doesn't make you want to teleport to a sweaty, raunchy club in Ibiza where there's an overabundance of ravecore drugs and tequila, I don't know what will.

Wiz Khlaifa - Taylor Gang [Official Music Video]

2011-09-23T16:29:00.001-04:00

How Does Venice Work?

2011-09-22T16:36:00.002-04:00

Vacationed in Venice, Italy a few years ago and I thought it was one of the most wonderful cities I had ever seen in my life. A city built on the water? I had read about it in books and heard about it from those who had previously been, but I couldn't believe the unique layout and beautiful architecture when I saw it for myself. Here's an inside look on how the historical city is maintained.
