We Own This Town: Volume 84

posted March 14, 2017 #

It's been about a month since the last edition of my Nashville-focused podcast We Own This Town. So much new music has come out in that time that this edition doesn't even come close to covering everything. However, it does provide 34 minutes of a variety of new music that your ears will enjoy - provided that you like indie rock, desert psych rock, traditional country or some keyboard-y pop. Listen to it.

Alex Merto

I recently picked up and read through Universal Harvester from John Darnielle, simply because I saw the intriguing cover.

Turns out that cover is courtesy of Alex Merto, a NY designer with an impressive portfolio of compelling book covers, magazine work and illustrations. I love his use of typography and overall restraint.

He's got a great Tumblr filled with his own work and inspirational pieces, well worth a follow once you're done gazing at the official work.

Big Nazo

posted March 14, 2017 #

Quick; glancing at Big Nazo what would you say it is? Do you assume it's a Puppet Workshop started in the 80's that was born of a combined love of public performance art and creative character exploration? Yep, you nailed it. It's also a live band and a Providence Institution.

Watch this intro video to get a good overview of the project and the intent behind it. No surprise, it's an optimistic message of "Celebrate your Differences." Then, just dive into a image search and a Tumblr deep dive. These weirdos are a rewarding treat for the eyes.

Dear Europe

posted March 13, 2017 #

Erica Gorochow of Pep Rally gathered together a host of her talented animation friends to create Dear Europe, a letter to those living in the EU that have elections coming up that may be surprised how much apathy and incorrect polls can affect an outcome. The mission statement is simple:
Our hope was to impress upon our friends in Europe that the future is written by those who vote.
Beyond the admirable goals of the piece, it's also an impressive combination of animation styles that feel unique but never too disconnected from one another thanks to a common color palette. The music is by Upright T-Rex and there's alternate VO for German, Dutch and French audiences. You know, to help spread the word.

It's a great piece and well worth a share.

I stopped being friends with someone who ordered a burger, but asked the server to substitute a fruit cup for french fries.

Daniel Arnold NYT

I'm a longtime fan of Daniel Arnold. His street photography is always fantastic. Period. If you don't follow him on Instagram or peruse his collections on Vogue, you're missing out.

Add to that list, this NY Times profile. A great overview of his work and some excellent interview pieces describing his fascination with certain areas and types of people. I hope this column is a regular happening from now on.

Pin and Seller

posted March 13, 2017 #

The enamel pin game is strong throughout the Internet but I still don't feel oversaturated by it. It's still refreshing to see what people create. Lately I've enjoyed some of the offerings from Pin and Seller, a shop out of Phoenix paying homage to the likes of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Terry Gilliam's Brazil to name but a few.
