We’ve covered N.A.S.A. (North America South America) here many times in the past, partly because they’ve managed to corral an almost unholy stable of collaborators to work with (“People Tree” featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits and Kool Keith, […]

Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]

Yes, the quality is crap and half the microphones are blown, but if you have 20 minutes in your day then you have time for Mick Jones on TV Party. The cult landmark TV Party (re-released awhile back on DVD) was a free cable access show in New York City that ran from 1978 to […]

I just don’t know how N.A.S.A. does it. I mean I know Squeak E. Clean (aka Sam Spiegel) is Spike Jonze’ brother and all that, and the dude is obviously well connected, but the callobos he manages to link together and the artists he has work on his projects are otherworldly (like that Syd Garon […]

Taking it one step further, after discovering folding bikes a few decades ago he’s since been traveling around the world with them on a regular basis. Awesome. […]

After Dirty Projectors hits the road with TV On The Radio for a string of dates, the band will switch gears and headline several shows in support of their fifth release, Bitte Orca, which will be available June 9th On Domino Records. The limited headlining run will begin on June 17th in Philadelphia and end […]

I don’t know who Squeak E. Clean has naked photos of, but that guy’s got somebody powerful in his pocket. Maybe it’s Steve Aoki Jello wrestling that gay senator, while one of the Olsen Twins holds the camera and force-feeds them Oxycontins. Who knows. Nevermind the coup of getting M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock all […]

What do you call Norman Cook, Simon Thornton, Thomas Gandey, Justin Robertson, Ashley Beedle, Lateef, Martha Wainwright, Jamie T, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, Olly Hite, Conan, Pete York, Jack Penate, Emmy The Great and Dizzee Rascal making music together? The Brighton Port Authority. The made up backstory to the project is pretty dope. It all […]
