what’s your death rattle sound like (pt. 2)

so as i wait for the rest of the posse to send me their songs, I figured that i’d go ahead and throw my hat into the ring.

when my plane starts going down, i’m going straight to my canadian peoples, black mountain.

this song is actually the impetus of this idea, as i always imagined it being the score for a slow motion plane wreck that was shot from inside the cabin.

“Heart of Snow” by Black Mountain, from the album, “Black Mountain”. (but “In The Future” is great too, you should totally buy both of them!)



What’s your death rattle sound like?

So amidst these creative dog days of summer. (or rather, in lieu of our sustained uninspired blogging.) I’ve decided to tap the brothers with a morbid topic to create some content for this thing of ours.

i posit, should you be on a plane and get word that it’s going down, what’s the last song you pull up on your ipod? (or zune, I’m not even mad at zune)

My first response, came from Matt Andrews. who picked a little ditty from this up and coming band called Radiohead. Maybe you’ve heard of them.

Every few days, (or as the rest of the posse get them to me), I’ll be putting up what the rest of the death songs were, and feel free to suggest your own! you never know when you might get a chance to use them!

fly safely,

“Pyramid Song” by Radiohead from the album, Amnesiac

oh estelle, we hardly knew thee…

RIP estelle getty, even though you should have died like a hundred and fifty years ago, we’re still sad to see you go.

but hey, take some consolation in knowing that you lived to be a millllion!

gg, gg (good game, golden girl)

a brief history in time

now when joe isn’t borderline suicidal from watching the lakers lose to the celtics in the NBA finals, or getting sucked out on digusto styles for 20k pots playing online poker, he’s running his own streetwear company, franco shade.

he just put up a great post on their site about the history of the company. read all about it!

‘you lookin’ good tonight girl’

check my man KGs emphatic post game interview where he shouts me out and hollers at michele tafoya.

 

 

thattttttttsss righttttttttttttttt

so myself being from boston, and my friend joe navran, one of the most hardcore lakers fans ever, decided to make a bet on the celtics v. lakers NBA finals in which the loser had to take a picture wearing the other teams jersey, and make it their default myspace picture for a month. so stay tuned to joe navran’s page to see him in a beautiful, luscious paul pierce jersey.

HOLLA!

LETS DO THIS THING

root for my hometown peoples tuesday!

(keep tabs on joe navran’s myspace page for he and i’s prop bet)

anthropology

hello friends, here are some short films i just released.

some behind the scenes junk at victorsolomondotcom

NEW. SINGLE. FINALLY.

HOLLA 

in case you forgot, hillman curtis is still the man.

sagmeister isn’t bad either…the two together = really really great

HOLLLLS!!

we got it for cheap VOLUME THREE

YSL

instead of having a traditional fashion show for his upcoming fall collection, Stefano Pilati presented his new line with a projected triptych which is hauntingly beautiful and amazingly done.

Directed by Sarah Chatfield & Chris Sweeney

im intrigued.

so during my time at film school i was apart of and witnessed some of the worst films in the history of cinema.

i found this film synopsis, and couldn’t help but share:

“Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.”

I thought it was funny until i found out that its a real feature film, with a real budget and i’m really going to see it when it comes out.

Control.

Checked out Anton Corbijn’s Ian Curtis biography, ‘Control’ last night. Whether you are a die hard Joy Division fan, or just a casual listener, it’s an amazing picture. Beautifully shot, perfectly acted and successfully void of the traps many musician bio-pic’s tend to make.

Check this one out asap. Trailer here.

weird

this is real and looks weird…that is all.

Wes Anderson x AT&T

Here’s a set of amazing spots Wes Anderson recently directed for AT&T

“Businessman”

“Reporter”

“Actor”

I was talking to a very accomplished producer today about these spots, and he told me that when the agency that commissioned them contacted Wes, he said, “well, I don’t really want to do commercials any more, but i’ll do them for 100k/day”. Making him one of the highest paid directors probably ever. (when ridley scott does commericals he typically gets 40-50k/day, which is double the ‘typical’ rate for ‘middle of the road’ commercial directors, at 15-25k/day). Good to know ridiculous style is worth something…

Blue Magic


I for one want to say, with conversion rates being what they are, it’s way baller to flip a stack of euros. well played hov.
