Sivu – “Better Man Than He”

Apparently this is the first ever music video made using only MRI images – I like that.  I also like the song, which makes this piece especially worthwhile to post.

…after being introduced to the New World, the Lykov family decided on Branson…  

The headline pretty much says it all.  Definitely worth a read.

Octover – Satisfy EP

29 Jan

Honestly, I don’t know much about Singapore.  But after being introduced to the industrial/soul band (trust us, that combination works somehow) Octover, it’s apparent that Singapore has a bustling and thriving arts community.  Octover is refreshing and enticing with its blend of a few genres that seemingly wouldn’t work, but do (think Nine Inch Nails meets Diana Ross or even Whitney Houston).  They even have a Kate Bush cover on their first release (!!!)  Anyway, Octover is awesome and their EP is available for $1.61.  You can get and listen to the whole thing here:

So this is what Macaulay has been doing since Home Alone 2…

Bullett Media caught up with Macaulay Culkin and photographed the “art” he’s been making since 1992-ish.  I don’t understand it, but then again how could I?  I blame my bourgeois upbringing centered around becoming the Kansas’ real-life Kevin McAllister.
