More animated craziness from LA's future driven beatsmith
Los Angeles producer and man of the future worlds Flying Lotus gets the Adult Swim treatment in this video for his track “Zodiac Shit”. Is it as good as the misanthropic robots turning against their human overlords? I’d say it’s pretty damn close…

LIAS sits down with one of America's top pop culture illustrators

New video and fall tour dates for 2010
Off the sophomore album from Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts, Crystal Axis, comes the single and video “Lara Vs The Savage Pack”. The highly creative video was shot frame by frame, then re-shot using over 2000 printed pieces of paper. I dig the quasi-psychedelic animations; half kaliedescope, half paper madness.
