17/02 Je deteste Serge Gainsbourg
Je deteste Serge Gainsbourg (I hate Serge Gainsbourg) is a compilation of mashups.
The free album mixes Gainsbourg with the likes of Notorious B.I.G, Sugarhill Gang, Eminem, Ja Rule, The Gossip, Kelis and more. (Although I would skip the first track with Offspring, its a bit annoying for my taste.)
Download the album here.

16/02 Martin Scorsese 1975 audio interview by Tony Macklin
The interview took place in his apartment in Los Angeles, high in the hills above La Cienega Boulevard.
Published in the Spring 1975 issue of Film Heritage.
“I vividly remember his bookshelves and his multitude of books. During the interview I stepped out in the hall outside his apartment to give him privacy when he received a personal phone call.”
“The most revelatory thing about our interview was when Marty interpreted the end of Mean Streets.” –Macklin
Hear the whole interview here:

15/02 David Carson TED speech
David Carson on design + discovery
From the TED archives, filmed in 2003. David explains the emotion of design with his slides of found images.
Great design is a never-ending journey of discovery — for which it helps to pack a healthy sense of humor. Sociologist and surfer-turned-designer David Carson walks through a gorgeous (and often quite funny) slide deck of his work and found images.
13/02 Flaming Youth
Youth Aflame: The Movie
I like the design of this poster, but this movie looks ridiculously awesome (trailer below).
A.k.a. Hoodlum Girls, this “shocking drama of reckless youth” made it to the screen just about the time the idea of “teenage,” as a distinct stage of life, was becoming popular. The problem is, in exposing how teenagers without guidance go wrong, Youth Aflame departs from reality by using adults to play kids. Actors in their thirties whining about not being allowed to stay out late, or eagerly awaiting high school graduation, is just plain… well… weird.

13/02 Pins N’ Needles :: Episode 0 – Boss Fight
Will Strode and Lindsey Zimmerman have started a new comic called Pins N’ Needles.
This is a completely different style to their other comic, Goodbye Blue Monday, both are excellent, but I love the direction they are taking with Pins N’ Needles. There are some really rad panels, my favorite is the bloody nose scene, but I don’t want to give up the whole story. So read it for yourselves.
(via Will) Lindsey and I have been working on a comic story for a while now involving a couple of raunchy girls and their ass-kicking gangland antics. It started with a minicomic Lindsey’s been working on and today I get to show it to you! We’ve got a few more projects to get going before we can start this as a weekly, but this fall should mark the continuing adventures of Pins N Needles!!
