Hey, it's Friday! Time to kick off the ole boots and relax. If you haven't investigated the goodness of Sleep Good yet.. do so now because I'm going to keep bugging you about it until you do.
The Void - world's first virtual reality amusement park. I gotta admit, I would do this. It's like next gen blazer tag.
Bulldog Box Lover - I watched every second of this. It's even better when presented as it was to me - as a "cautionary metaphor for how materialism blinds us all." Ridiculous. via John
Bug-A-Salt 2.0 - do you have a fly problem? do you need more tiny piles of salt all around your house? Here's the perfect solution. via Keith
The Arcs - "Put a Flower In Your Pocket" - the Arcs is a new undertaking involving Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys and Richard Swift from too many projects to count. Nice animated video for their first jam.
That's all I got! Short but sweet. Enjoy your life.
I keep scrolling through the instagram feed of jpegfletcher, aka Jay Fletcher, and there's not been a single designed item that I don't enjoy. Much of the branding work is strong lines with a little texture. Simple but without personality. There's also some deluxe neon and business cards thrown in too, you know, for good measure.
Directed by El Oms. The Arcs will release 'Yours, Dreamily,’ on September 4, 2015. Pre-order now and receive the songs "Outta My Mind," “Stay In My Corner” and "Put A Flower in Your Pocket" now at http://thearcs.com.

I went down a deep hole into the NIN Wiki last night. The best gem I returned with? Easter Eggs showcasing Trent Reznor's early 90's hatred of TVT Records - my favorite of which is found in this Gave Up video in which a Pro Tools screen shows a "F*ck You Steve" sequence. Also, please note "Puddy Pud & The Jerkoff Bunch" being referenced in the upper left.
Bonus: A young Marilyn Manson and Richard Patrick in the same video.
Maybe all hardcore NIN fans know all this already but it was a real treat for me. Also, there's a bunch of exclusive NIN instrumentals and alt versions on Apple Music? Doesn't seem very fan friendly but good to know there's a way to hear them.
Is it lame to like Arcade Fire yet? Who cares, I'm excited for this Reflektor Tapes movie that is coming out in September. I've seen them three times and can't imagine a movie that features live footage not being compelling. Just watch the trailer and I'm sure you'll agree.
The film recontextualizes the album experience, transporting the viewer into a kaleidoscopic sonic and visual landscape. It charts the band's creative journey as they lay foundations for the album in Jamaica, record in Montreal and play an impromptu gig at a Haitian hotel on the first night of Carnival, before bringing their breath-taking live show to packed arenas in Los Angeles and London.
I'm extremely excited to announce that my own yk records will be releasing the latest record from Austin TX's Sleep Good, Dream Dealer.
The album was originally released at the beginning of the year on Bandcamp and I was a bit shocked to learn that there were no plans to release it in another format (not from lack of wanting). So, I reached out to the creator behind the project, Will Patterson, and suggested we partner up. The artwork was fleshed out into full packaging, including a wonderful spot gloss Merkabah overprint, and pressed to the format that it most deserves, vinyl.
I realize it sounds overly precious to say that the album deserves to be on vinyl but I love this album. It's been in heavy rotation for months and I imagine once the final pressing is in my hands, it will be in heavy rotation for years to come. Please, go give it a listen and order the vinyl, you can pass it on to your wonderful children and blow their minds.
Really extensive and eye-opening read from Adam Saltsman (maker of Canabalt and Hundreds among many others) on The Making of Overland and, more specifically, bootstrapping yourself. His story is about the trials and tribulations of the game industry but it seems like the lessons and insights apply to just about anyone looking to invest in themselves. It's a lengthy read but well worth your time, especially if you're even mildly interested in what goes on behind the curtain of independent game development.
