Not quite. The thing about Comic-Con that you have to understand, is that over the 10 years I have been going, attendance had been trending up, while the existence of actual paper comics has been heading in the other direction. This might be a hard thing for people who don’t attend Comic-Con to understand: they see the words comic convention and immediate jump to the cliched image of nerdy fan boys, overweight and sweaty, digging through bins of old comics, and standing in line for autographs from their favorite super heros. While this does constitute a portion of the attendees and activities at Comic-Con, to define the whole event but such standards would be an error. Comic-Con has been taken over: Hollywood is the new show and digital copies of your favorite comics on your new iPad is only a drop in the oceanic pool of money to made. Comic-Con is going nowhere….well, maybe to Anaheim.

The new LCD Soundsystem is turning out to be another banger. I would have chose lead off track ‘Dance Yrself Clean’ for my first video, but ‘Drunk Girls’ is pretty stellar too and maybe the 4 minute track length was easier for Mr. Jonze to deal with. Who really wants to watch an 8 minute music video anyway? That’s a lot of paying attention!

After watching the Matt Daniel’s directed video for Damien Jurado’s “Caskets”, I’ll watch anything he sends over to me. That video should have been on everyones ‘best of’ lists last year and it would have been on ours too, if we would have compiled one. Water under the bridge, as the saying goes.
So to my delight, Matt’s new project is for Mt. St. Helen’s Vietnam Band. Quirky name, I know, but they make some beautiful yet haunting music and the video fits nicely into the same adjectives. Again we are …

Don’t think we forgot about our monthly mix since we started updating with videos again. I know there’s someone out there listening to this and it’s you that we keep making it for. Enjoy the fuck out of it. I know we do.

I like this video because Kanye West was part of the song’s producing duo and that’s funny.
I like this video because Harvey Keitel is in it.
I like this video because Jay-Z plays one-on-one with King James and shows off his lefty jumper.
I like this video because things get blown up.
I like this video because it’s good.

This video has style and reminds me why I cry when I have to take most other rap videos seriously. I wouldn’t expect anything less though.

If you’re not reading Booooooom.com on a daily basis, you’re just cheating yourself. My pal Jeff is running some trump content over there, featuring beautiful and inspiring art from talented artists, all day, every day. He even runs design contests and is now up to project number 8: this time with one of his best ideas yet.
He’s teamed up with Denmark’s Choir of Young Believers, and offered to make them a music video by reaching out to his loyal design-abled readers to see what they have to offer. The …
