Sauza Tequila - Make It With A Lifeguard. - StumbleUpon. :) Louis CK in Double Vision by Adam Thirlwell. The most memorable sequence in Louis CK’s movie Tomorrow Night—made in 1998 but released only last month, through his own website—begins with its otherwise stern and icily repressed hero, played by Chuck Sklar, in a suit of neat pajamas carefully scooping curled waves of ice cream into a large silver dish. He places this dish on a wooden upright chair. Then, removing his pajama trousers, he lowers himself with a sigh of ecstasy into the heap of soft cold gelato. Such sadness, such laughter!
And then you see spurts of liquid vanilla splash onto his parquet floor. Such gruesomeness! To those, like me, who already love the acidic digressions of Louis CK’s comedy, where a storyline or thought process is suddenly interrupted by random material, this scene is roughly what you might expect from his early work. Until a few years ago, Louis CK was most famous for his stand-up routines. I mean, that sequence with the ice cream: it is sparkling, and comical, and desolate. 60 People Share The Shortest, Funniest Joke They Know.

PREMIERE: Listen to the debut EP from ANAMAI, solo project of HSY's Anna Mayberry. If you know Anna Mayberry only as a member of Toronto sludge-punks HSY, you’re in for a surprise with the debut release by her new solo project, ANAMAI. We have the premiere of the self-titled EP streaming above via Buzz Records, and it’s a gorgeous mix of glittery synths, old folk melodies and gauzy shoegaze textures… pretty much the polar opposite of HSY’s claustrophobic noise-rock. But according to Mayberry, they’re two sides of the same coin: “With HSY, it’s all about filling in space, building noise to an extreme until you can let go," she tells us. "ANAMAI is also about the atmosphere, but it’s about leaving space, letting it rest and breathe.” Produced by David Psutka of Egyptrixx and Hiawatha, the cassette release accentuates some modern touches – layers of synth drone and accidental noises that had seeped in during the recording – but the melodies, stories and harmonies crib from influences centuries old.
This Week's Best Songs: ScHoolboy Q, Mac DeMarco, Holly Herndon and more… Webster's Dictionary defines Friday as...the time to listen to this week's best songs, on Chart Attack dot com! Have A Nice Life, “Burial Society” “'Burial Society' seems to emanate from some massive sinkhole. It's heavy with the distress of death metal but its punishment is more gradual, a monolith of degenerative effects approaching from a great distance.”
ScHoolboy Q, “Break THe Bank” “Money is the song's focus, but in his pursuit Q addresses the crucial ways it helps him live, like escaping his drug dealing past and providing for his daughter. Yes, drugs and clothes are addressed, but it's a part of the exposure to the many dimensions of Q. Mac DeMarco, “Passing Out Pieces” “The charm is there and the sound has progressed, and that could be due to this new exhaustion.

Unbelievable. Kronos Quartet: Tiny Desk Concert. Postmodern Jukebox: Vintage Remixes of Modern Music [Videos] It was a few months ago when I came across Scott Bradlee's, Postmodern Jukebox on YouTube.
The group had recently put out a vintage remix of Macklemore's song Thrift Shop and a British artist had in turn, created a techno remix of the vintage remix. In short, a modern remix of a vintage remix of a modern song had been born. Now try saying that five times fast. Since then, Postmodern Jukebox has gone out to produce 31 YouTube videos, nearly approaching a grand total of one million combined YouTube views. Most of these Postmodern Jukebox videos are all various vintage remixes encompassing a variety of styles of modern songs. Each song the group produces is done with a different feel that is present both in the sound of the song and in the filmography and the way the musicians dress. While you can (and absolutely should) browse the Postmodern Jukebox YouTube channel yourself to see all their incredible videos, here are some of our favourites. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Vaadat Charigim, “Odisea” “'Odisea' is a seven minute storm with mists of acoustic guitar dotting the foggy fuzz, and vocals that feel lost in thought but never absent, like a ship's captain giving orders while distracted by a mermaid.” The Hunt, “Fifteen Minutes” “...the sound is full-tilt catharsis, sung with the intensity of the town-crier on the way to the gallows.”
Empress Of, “Realize You” “Lorely Rodriguez renders her romantic anxiety with wreaths of glittering synths and a shuffling, ping-ponging beat, dazed by both her own knotted feelings and her twinkling surroundings.” Blood Orange, “You're Not Good Enough” Blood Orange - You're Not Good Enough (Lyric Video) Disclosure, “Apollo” Monthly Recap - Best Of November 2013.

These are the albums we loved the most this year. In what we've written about each one below, you can see what we felt should be rewarded, what shook us up and what sucked us in over the 12 months of 2013. Not every one of the 22 different people with bylines here agree on which albums did any of that to them — we don't listen the same way, or for the same reasons — but you'll read the word "warm" more than once (as applied to an indie songwriter, a country singer and two electronic producers).
We were seduced by darkness at least five times (electronic, rock, classical, metal) and loved sounds that we call "delicate" (three out of four made by men). "Wry" hit the spot twice (country singer again, and a pair of rappers). Those shared words could be the limitations of language, but they might illuminate what this cross-section of music lovers most needed to hear this year. These 50 albums are strange bedfellows, but that's how we listen. NPR Music's 50 Favorite Albums Of 2013. The Human Jukebox | cdza Opus No. 9.

Creepy, Crusty, Crumbling: Illegal Tour of Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans [75 Pics] Hurricane Katrina killed this clown. According to the photographer, “An abandoned Six Flags amusement park, someone spray painted ‘Six Flags 2012 coming soon’ on the wall above the downed head.

No lines for dead rides. Watch out for that tree! No one wants a ride? Andrew Moore : City of Champions. Model T HQ, Detroit Andrew Moore teaches in the Photography M.F.A. program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and is known for his large format color photography.My favorite project of Moore’s was his Detroit series, shot in 2008-2009, which appears in his book, Detroit Disasembled. A city deadened by the decline of the American automobile industry, Detroit has seen better days. In some of Moore’s photographs, it looks like nature is taking back its own from the industrial boom that, once gone, left ”the City of Champions” out to dry like the oil stains behind Texaco. Moore’sphotos work in part with a distinct vocabulary of time, with how it slackens and pulls taut at certain moments in history.
Earth is gobbling up what people labored to build, the dream the Ford factory succeeding in creating, and the effect is jarring. It’s unsettling to see a once-throbbing city stopped cold.

Bradley Garrett, a photographer and researcher with a background in anthropology and archeology, has spent the past five years of his life exploring hidden and forgotten parts of cities all over the world.
Sneaking into sewers and bunkers, through metro tunnels and up skyscrapers, Garrett calls his work place-hacking: "I see the access to secret spatial information available to those willing to dive through the loopholes in the system as akin to virtual hacking.
