We Own This Town, Volume 77

posted July 20, 2016 #

Hot on the heels of the Volume 76 comes another installation of great music coming out of Nashville. This one ended up being pretty heavy on the Rock side of things - psych rock, big riff rock, indie rock, etc. But there's a nice balance with the swirly goodness of CASA and the glitchy fun of Real Yawny.

Enjoy this goodness from Penicillin Baby, Adia Victoria, VampTones, Meter, The By Gods, Anchor Thieves, Tower Defense, Happy Little Trees, Rales, CASA and Real Yawny.

Family Sandwich '87

posted July 20, 2016 #

Occasonally, absurd indie-gaming catches me just right and I find some silly idea to be just downright delightful. Such is the case with Family Sandwich `87, a game where you make a sandwich and pack a lunch. Thank you Zvonimir Rudinski, this is perfectly ridiculous. Also, great cartridge art.

Tower Defense - Glyphs

posted July 19, 2016 #

A good music video does not need to have a huge budget, it just needs to be charmingly clever. Such is the case with this brand new Tower Defense video for Glyphs. On the surface, it's a lyric video set to slow-mo video but once you've given it a look, it's clearly more than that. Is there a narrative arc in there? Some life insight? Or is it just babblings? Only one way to find out - repeated viewings.

It's also helpful that the song is less than 2 minutes, much like many of the gems from their yk records released Stay Inside EP (available now on beautiful vinyl or streaming everywhere).

HK Devblog

The above GIF is capture from the forthcoming game HK Project - "a cat adventure video game, developed by Koola & Viv." You can follow along with the development of the game over on their HK Devblog in which they showcase a bunch of rather impressive video snippets where you are controlling a cat through beautifully light back alleys. There's not a ton to see yet but it looks great. At the very least, the world gets some phenomenal new robo-cat GIFs.

Passport Index 2016

posted July 19, 2016 #

I can't say that I've ever been too curious what a passport from Zimbabwe looks like but thanks to the Passport Index, I don't even have to think about it. If you find yourself looking for inspiration for a seal, this is a phenomenal repository to start from. Peruse the beautiful, minimalist or strikingly simple creations.

A New Dimension In Filmmaking

posted July 18, 2016 #

James George is a smart dude. He created a "bespoke 3D scanning video system" that he implemented in his immersive documentary CLOUDS. So, if there is someone that I trust to wax eloquently on the subjective of filmmaking and the future of VR / AR / immersive tech, it is him.

This piece he wrote on Medium, A New Dimension in Filmmaking, is a fascinating read about the forthcoming technology onslaught we're inevitably going to see merge with traditional filmmaking and storytelling.

Long story short, read this.

LOL GOP

posted July 18, 2016 #

I understand the dangers of getting political on a blog that's aimed at just surfacing arts and entertainment but I can't help but implore each and every one of you to start following LOL GOP, as it stands to be an amusing and informative resource for all the horrible* things the GOP is undertaking at the moment.

On a more purely informative note, I'd also ask you to follow Igor Volsky, as his tweets showcasing NRA funding towards political members (both sides of the aisle) is something everyone needs to see.

* Yes, I really "horrible" is a subjective term but if you think the Trump's racism, awful plans for this country and his general infantile demeanor are good for this planet, I kindly ask you to rethink you position in life.

Klocki

posted July 18, 2016 #

I spent a good deal of time over the weekend playing Klocki, a minimalistic puzzle game. There are no instructions on how to solve the puzzles, just a game board and some pleasant ambient music. You touch and tap around to discover how to move the pieces and each level gets a little more complex over time. So far it hasn't reached a level of maddening frustration, it's just enjoyable. Oh, and the Level Clear sound is awesomely satisfying.

It's on Android, iOS and even the web, so you've no excuse not to play.
