The new J. Cole video absolutely sold me on dude and I’m mad curious what his rig looks like/what he shoots on. Check out the steadicam shots on both the J. Cole video and the Asher Roth video (i know, dude sucks, but the way they flip that old Lootpack LP is nice). And the [...]

Isaac Ravishankara and I go way back to “film school,”* so it’s been exciting to watch his visually dynamic, often hilarious music videos popping up all over—most recently at the MTV VMAs. I caught up with him to chat about indie vs. big budget production, the DSLR “revolution,” and music video distribution models. You know, [...]

As I stepped out of my home on Saturday to a beautiful day, I smiled at the USPS delivery lady who was approaching me with mail in hand.  My smile was topped by her shit eating grin, which was confounding, mail delivery people hadn’t been this nice since the 60′s. “You’re laughing at me, aren’t [...]

Sorry to harsh your mellow so bluntly, indie bands, but the future is now. Record sales are make believe. Licensing revenue only happens if your older cousin works at some ad agency. Touring is the worst thing ever. If you’re going to make it, you’re going to make by scratching and scraping for every single [...]

Looks like plaid shirts haven’t missed any sort of hip enclave of culture… It’s ok, because the Clipse and Cam’ron could wear footie pj’s and still be the coolest dudes on the block. Nobody can really pull off the “we’re just on the block chillin’ and this video cost us only $7k” swagger like these [...]
