The Crystal Method are set to release their 4th album, Divided by Night, out today. The video above is for the first single from the album, "Drown in the Now", featuring the fantastic Matisyahu. It's a solid comeback single, and I'm happy to see they're not changing up their style just to conform with trends. The video itself works a lot with the new album's concept, at least in direct relation to the artwork.
Buy Divided by Night now on iTunes.
From their debut The Son of Apollo, NASA's "Gifted" is absolutely gorgeous with its abstract universe and mind-voyage concepts. Lots of design elements we've seen before, but the package together looks fantastic.
Directors: Three Legged Legs (check out their Zune arts piece!)
Somehow, this TV show for kids on Nick Jr passed under my radar. Why would I even know about a kid's show you ask? Well some of them are pretty brilliant, but you know, this one is just downright interesting.
First off, the show is called Yo Gabba Gabba and the theme music sounds like, guess what, slowed down Gabber music. It's that crazy happy hardcore sounding dance music. If you've seen the open for the show, you'll get what I'm talking about. Here's a blurb about the show:
Yo Gabba Gabba! is a fun live-action program for young children ages 1 and up. Join our host DJ Lance Rock as he introduces us to friendly toy monsters in a magical land full of music, dance, colorful cartoons and simple life lessons that will get you and your children up off the floor to learn and dance along. Muno, the red cyclops, Foofa the pink flower bubble, Brobee the green little one, Toodee the blue cat-dragon, and Plex the robot are ready to sing, play and teach whenever you're ready. Just say the magic words! YO GABBA GABBA!!
DJ Lance Rock is probably the funniest character I've ever heard of for a kids show. These toy monsters are actually vinyl toys, nod to that subculture, and he brings them in his multi-colored ghetto-blaster.
Oh and to make shit even crazier, Biz Markie is in the show. He has a 'Beat of the Day' segment. Celebrities make appearances and dance to music with the monsters and kids go crazy, just like on other shows. It's just a cooler, I guess "hipper" concept and look.
Did I mention this show has been airing since 2006? Below is a hilarious clip featuring Elijah Wood dancing to Numa Numa. Really weird, but funny.
