Hard to pick a favorite but Logan’s Run and Westworld always hit the spot. But also Empire Strikes Back and Back to the Future. Oh and Terminator and Predator. And They Live. Damn, too many.

The visual technique library for visual technique lovers. You may know most of these already but the compilation of styles is extremely well done. Dolly Zoom forever.

Song 2 sung by Cobain is quite good. I don’t think any of these are on the nose quite yet but they’re real close

Andy Partridge releasing new music ever again was not on my lifetime bingo card. It's real good.

what a delightful surprise

I love it when bands put together playlists of their influences and inspiration for a given period of time. It always reveals some surprising choices and some delightful combinations.
I recently tasked
Talking with Hands and
Telefone with putting together their own distinct playlists for this exact purpose. It acts as a nice promo for their recent releases but it's also just
interesting. I'm very pleased with the results and I think you will be too.
Talking with Hands - Influensa
The
Pastiche EP is an intentional tribute to influentials. Songs like "Lucky" were written to sound like Smashing Pumpkins. It's an homage! So, it's rather delightful to hear what
other music influenced the project. Seeing Prince, AIR and Cornelius in one playlist was all the evidence I needed that I was in the right place.
Telefone -
Telefone Ring
Mac Burrus, of Telefone, has been sending music for literal decades.. so I knew that a mix of influences for a band he is a part of would be great. I'm happy to report, I was right! Jon Brion, Aimee Mann, Komeda and The Posies all mixing it up together? Yes, please. Go listen to the mix and then listen to the
Telefone record.
I'd also like to note that I made the artwork for both mixes primarily with Midjourney. I know there's a lot of conversation to be had around the creative economy and how AI is impacting that but it's hard for me to deny the power of a tool that can conjure such compelling images with just a little creative prompting.

I'm told that I need to read this. Adding it here so I don't forget. Based solely on the headline, I am sure I agree.

Very insightful quick piece about Bernard Krigstein and his 1955 work that influenced comics well beyond his lifetime.

Floor796 is an ever-expanding animation scene showing the life of the 796th floor of the huge space station! The goal of the project is to create as huge animation as possible, with many references to movies, games, anime and memes.
Holy moly this is immersive and huge and incredibly entertaining. Can not imagine the amount of work required to conjure this into reality - even if thousands of people were involved it boggles the mind.

look its a new Blinker song featuring Paul D'Amour on guitar. I don't love the singy-talky bits but I can't deny the rest of it.. which is real dang good.
