Pretty in Pink: New Nixon Rubber Player

J.Broadway — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:12:43 +0000

I swore to myself I would stop posting these new Nixon Rubber Player releases. After all, as "limited" as they claim to be- they've steadily released once a month and even though they only do 4 months at a time, they've been so wildly popular there's probably no end in sight for that little cash cow buzz machine. After all, the blogs are on fire.

Mundo De Papel (Paper World)

J.Broadway — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:55:39 +0000

CRU DE LADIES for the agency BBDO Mexico has created a spot exploring a world made almost entirely out of notebook paper scribbled on with pencil. Reminiscent of a Michel Gondry-esque world, the main character pours sketched coffee and drives a papercraft Mini Cooper. The world created is so fun, it's almost sad at the end where they wimp out and do a wipe to the "real" world and transform this inventive and fun world into just another commercial. Oh well, the first 50 seconds are still dope.

Sean John Unveils New Logo

J.Broadway — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:40:26 +0000

Diddy, one of the pioneers of the online celebrity space (who can forget his drunken Youtube rant about Proactive skin care?) has released an all-new video that may actually have some further purpose than extended Diddy's online presence and embiggening his ego even further. In the video, he gives a quick preview of some of the new pieces in the 2010 Sean John collection, and, perhaps more importantly, reveals the new logo.

I don't even really know what to say about this video. Crazy cool editing, nifty effects, and pretty sick DJing and beatmaking all slammed together in a completely weird and unique video. Really the only thing I can say is watch it. Twice.

The Fray – Heartless

J.Broadway — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:04:42 +0000

Editor IE HAGY has recently posted The Fray's music video for their cover of Kanye West's "Heartless." Not only is their rendition of the song really quite dope, but the video is also pretty interesting and quirky, featuring an animated anatomically correct heart running around leaking pencil-drawn blood. Interestingly, Kanye's video for the original version of the track was animated as well, featuring Waking Life style rotoscoped figures. Both videos are up on MTVmusic.com as well.

J.Broadway — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:34:15 +0000

Hot off the heels of their wildly successful collaboration that brought us The Simpsons as 3-inch vinyl figurines, Kid Robot and Matt Groening are at it again. They have just released Futurama vinyls at the Kid Robot retail locations and their website. This happens to coincide nicely with the recent announcement that Futurama is coming back to the air with new episodes despite being cancelled in 2003 after 5 seasons.

Retroviral: Hyperactive

J.Broadway — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:46:04 +0000

This video was one of the first things I sent to everyone I knew back in the day when YouTube was just a young upstart getting their traffic from copyright infringing videos and Google video was still a viable contender to the online video sharing crown. Clearly, this kid is a product of the digital desktop editing age- as he can't even really beatbox. He's more of a beatmaker, just using his own self-generated sounds instead of a drum machine. I still dig it.
