Wu-Tang: Revealed

The GZA has created a documentary on the Wu-Tang clan that’s apparently 10 years in the making. I’m honestly down for any movie on the Wu-Tang, and the GZA’s intimate perspective will probably make this awesome in some form or another, but the trailer itself to me seems fairly boring. There’s certainly been far more drama within this group over its lifespan, so I’m slightly disappointed in what’s shown here (or what’s not). Nevertheless, I’m intrigued and will definitely be watching this when it leaks to World Star Hip Hop. See the trailer after the jump.

The Wassaic Project

Last month a friend of ours tipped us off to an undercover little art and music festival in upstate New York called The Wassaic Project Festival. He told us tales of a picturesque one street town with white clapboard houses and kids on bicycles, of a converted mill that now stood as a seven story gallery space, of an old farmhouse preserved in all its bucolic glory, and of art exhibits, bands, bonfires and camping under the stars. Clearly we didn’t need much convincing.

Stay Tripped

The Trip dropped an absolute banger of a video this weekend which features sections with Dan Lacey, Lahsaan Kobza, Hoang Tran, Patrick King, & Ty Morrow. This video completely rules (everything aside from that queer ‘metal horns bash’ thing that they do every 2030 seconds) and I love the vibe of this crew. It is very gangster to drop full-length videos online, and to keep it real with the VX1000.

Yeasayer “Madder Red” = “Mad Boring”

Having a celeb cameo in your video is nothing new and has never seemed to hurt, but in the case of Yeasayer’s latest video featuring Kristen Bell (Gossip Girl / Veronica Mars / Sarah Marshall) it turned out to be a waste of a dope track, a hot girl, and a muppet. This shit is boring.

Sobi Bike Sharing Hits NYC

Who ever said that Americans were too self-absorbed, too independent minded or downright sheisty to responsibly co-exist with a bike share system? The Europeans have successfully implemented large-scale programs across scores of metropolitan areas, typically utilizing standardized bikes and official docking stations…why not us?

Well friends, it seems that time has come. The good folks at Sobi are rolling out a new system here in New York, with a decidedly American twist. With a ragtag fleet and no official docking stations, the new system incorporates GPS-enabled lockboxes and iphone check-ins to be able to register and check-out bikes wherever they may be. Your phone will tell you on a map just where the closest bicycle is docked. Pretty cool, right?

Clearly this must be some sinister plot by Comrade Obama to indoctrinate us with his socialist ways. Five bucks say this winds up on Glen Beck’s chalkboard within the week.

Blood Feast // Sterling Bartlett {LA}

I am pleased to announce that one of our personal favorite Blood Is The New Black artists, Sterling Bartlett will be handling a heavy setlist for our monthly Monday night bender. I have been waiting for this night all summer long and we going to be getting deep, grinding out to stoner metal, anthemic seventies jams, and old gangster shit.

Cheap drink specials, lots of tattoos, and you may or may not meet a pro skater doing blow in the bathroom.

Spike Jonze + Dave Eggers Q+A @ FMLY

If you’re in L.A. this weekend and are looking for something to do, we are hooking you the fuck up! Celebrated rogue filmmaker Spike Jonze and cult writer/publisher/editor Dave Eggers will be the focus of Saturday night’s event at FAMILY Bookstore on Fairfax. The event spotlights the release of Jonze’s new book, There Are Many of Us, in addition to Eggers’ first illustration book, It Is Right to Draw Their Fur. Check out their descriptions below.

Filled with gorgeous photography, behind-the-scenes ephemera, and funny, inspiring interviews, There Are Many of Us celebrates the uniquely spontaneous making of Spike Jonze’s new movie I’m Here (click the link to watch the trailer), a boy-meets-girl love story, set in LA, experienced by robots. The book includes an original CD soundtrack as well as a DVD of the thirty-minute movie I’m Here, with special bonus content.

It Is Right to Draw Their Fur is Dave Eggers’s first collection of drawings. Most of these works are of unusual mammals, most often accompanied by slogans with ancient, heroic, or just plain odd overtones. This full-color package will be a combination of 26 large-sized prints and an accompanying booklet.

The show will also include a live acoustic performance by Aska, the artist who scored Jonze’s film. Admittance is free, so get there early! Check out the full flyer after the jump.

436 N Fairfax Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
