Thursday 10 Apr 08 / my apartment sucks

05ukrainefloatingcastle when my family lived in saudi arabia, our favorite building was the ministry of the interior.  yes, that's right, we had a favorite building.  (times were tight, recreationally speaking.)  either way, this is a picture of it.  as you can see, it rules mercilessly.  it's gigantic, it looks like a flying saucer, and the best part is, the building's design doesn't really seem to serve any function other than just looking cool.  as a result, i gained an appreciation for gratuitious architecture.  so when i stumbled across this sweet little slideshow of ridiculous and impossible buildings like the ukranian floating castle up there, it filled me with sweet saudi nostalgia.  not to mention an intense craving for lambon abed ofrice.  enjoy.  -d (from GIZMODO)

    • ramona falls -

      ramona falls: INTUIT
      after 'air aid' knocked me all kinds of sideways, menomena pretty much got a carte blanche from me. that extends to their side projects as well. like this one. trust well placed, folks. this is *truly* unique music. (*****)

    • asobi seksu -

      asobi seksu: TRANSPARENCE
      sometimes i struggle w/ female vocalists. i don't know why. but the title track of this little EP hits home for some reason, like i've known the song forever. i don't know why. (****)

    • the avett brothers -

      the avett brothers: I AND LOVE AND YOU
      so the boys got signed to a big label and got assigned a snazzy producer. all cause for concern. concern that was quieted as soon as i turned up the music. rick rubin, you may repair the damage you caused by bringing 'system of a down' to the world. but this is a good start. (****)

    • shuta hasunuma -

      shuta hasunuma: POP OOGA
      heard 'power osci' the other night on garth's show on kcrw and tracked the rest down on emusic. glitch pop at its purest. staccato never gets so fractured as to lose site of the melody, and the melody never wanders so far into the pop camp as to alienate the folks who would download a glitch album in the first place. 'power osci' is a great place to start. (****)

    • band of skulls -

      band of skulls: BABY DARLING DOLL FACE HONEY
      don't be scared. it's not as hard as it sounds. saw them a few nights ago at a tiny club in echo park. and yes it was loud. but these brilliant little bits of melody kept breaking through the noise in a way i've never really heard before. and the album does them justice. check it out. (****)

      make no mistake. it's a great movie. well acted, well written, great soundtrack, etc. but it depressed me more than any movie in recent memory. enjoy!


    • up
      it's so good. i mean, it's pixar, of course it's good. but it's really good. and for some reason it made me want to get married real bad. weird.


    • drag me to hell
      scary, campy and really gross, it's exactly what it should be, and i'd see it again in a heartbeat. welcome back, mr. raimi.
