God it sucks when people try to make the world a more beautiful, interesting and colorful place. What’s the deal guy — you got too much time on your hands? Don’t you have some place to be making money, or posting Facebook updates to let everyone know how awesome you are? Why you gotta waste […]

Brooklyn’s latest overlords of the hipster world Sleigh Bells (vocalist Alexis Krauss and producer/guitarist Derek Miller) just released their second video off their eponymous debut. Although not all the tracks on the album are killer, this one’s one of the bigger bangers on there. Directed by Phil Pinto. Download Sleigh Bells’ “Infinity Guitars” mp3 Sleigh […]

Having pedaled their rare brand of sexually charged video installation and performance in Brooklyn since March of 2008, the duo — Sarvia Jasso and Andres Bedoya — finally decided to share with their depraved and quivering West […]

The Before I Die I Want To… project comes from the brains of Nicole Kenney (Brooklyn, NY) and KS Rives (Chicago, IL). Not sure how long the duo has been working on this project, but it seems like they’ve been at it for a while—considering all the places they’ve hit up so far. I’d say […]
