Season 1 of Nip/Tuck was amazing, and I got hooked right away, but last season lost me a bit. Now, McNamara/Troy is heading to Cali, and they'll have a whole new world of sin to work with on in Hollywood. The preview clip from FX has a pretty wicked cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game by Los Angeles duo Giant Drag. The clip doesn't show anything but the back of the Hollywood sign, but it's here for your viewing pleasure anyway. Track follows.

4133 Printouts And A Digital Camera = Great Video
jamie on May 24th, 2007
This just popped up on Wooster Collective, and I had to repost it- Max Tyrie and some friends put together and entry for Modest Mouse's Missed The Boat Video Contest by filming over 4,000 pages of…well, I'll just let him explain:
"Myself and a couple have friends have entered the above into the Modest Mouse video competition. Using green screen footage provided by the band we cut a simple music video. We then degraded the images and printed out each frame sequentially. (all 4133 of them) We then nailed each "shot" of 50-100 posters to various structures and posts. Then using a digital SLR camera with a long exposure we frame by frame shot each poster. Oh, and theres a little video projection (again, frame by frame on the SLR) just to mix it up. There is no compositing, no shortcuts, just lots of blood, sweat and tears, and a huge Kinkos bill!"…. Max
Watch the result below:
I say….winner!
Friday Mixtape Volume 120
jamie on May 18th, 2007
Another week gone, another mixtape. One week from now, I'll be finished with my last day at my current job, and taking the holiday weekend to relax by the pool before starting fresh at a new job. Woo. Back to this week though…
New Spoon tracks are all over the net now, and Rhthm & Soul is my favorite of them. The album is amazing. This new Go! Team track was on every other music blog this week, so I thought I'd better keep up- so it's in the mixtape. It hasn't caught on with me quite as quickly as their older stuff, but maybe that'll change after a weekend of listening to it. Kanye and Lupe are putting new stuff out again, and I'm diggin' Lupe's stuff a hell of a lot more than Kayne. I think Kanye should give up trying to rap, and stick to producing. The mix was a little light, so I put in the Streets remix of The Twang I posted earlier this week. Besides, I can't get enough of it. Beastie Boys have a new album coming out soon- all instrumentals this time. A few tracks are out, including this. Give me In 3's any day. The Attorneys are making some great powerpop, which I included…on a whim. I've heard the Kubichek! track on the radio over the past couple of months, but hadn't included them yet, so I figured this was as good a time as any, and I'm not sorry. And finally, Biffy Clyro's new stuff is freakin' awesome! I've been diggin' on the singles for a while, and currently diggin' on this athem for a bit. So, basically, that's it. Enjoy.
Jon Rawlinson has a great collection of photos on his famously-named Flickr.com site. I picked "Drip Drop" because I like the way the water droplet re-focuses the backgroud in perfect miniature.

Zamzar.com File Conversion
jamie on May 18th, 2007
iGIF just posted about this new online conversion tool Zamzar, that I thought I'd share with you as well. As a general computer nerd, I get a lot of requests from friends and family to convert one kind of file to another (like a PNG image to a JPEG, or FLV video to MPEG, or a RAM file audio to MP3, etc.). I'm usually quite happy ot oblige- but now, everyone has access to this kind of service online via Zamzar.com.
Just upload your file, select the format you want it in, and Zamzar converts it and emails you a link to the hosted file. They convert a whole bunch of file formats- not just media files either. They will make PDF files outta just about any document! Give it a try- the service is free, and currently in beta stages.
Mike Skinner’s Beard
jamie on May 18th, 2007
Speaking of the previously mentioned Streets new album, you can check out a You Tube video of Mike endlessly rambling on about his latest work, listen to him cover Jimmy Hendrix and Razorlight- but more importantly: you can hear bits and pieces of the new Streets stuff throughout the 5 minute vid.
Mike Skinner vs The Twang
jamie on May 15th, 2007
vs 
Mike Skinner might be busy in the studio working on a new album (I hear it's all instruments this time- taking a cue from the B-Boys?), but he's stopped to remixed The Twang's track Either Way with Doc Green. Take a listen to the Radio Rip from earlier today below.
Friday Mixtape Volume 119
jamie on May 11th, 2007
See that collection of covers below? That's called filling the gap. It's been yet another really busy week for me, except on Wednesday, when I didn't even go near a computer while taking a vacation day for football. Which is just my way of excusing myself for not posting this week. Seriously, I'm a busy guy. Except for right now- I'm sitting in the bumper-to-bumper hell that is Atlanta Friday rush hour traffic. But that's where this little mixtape thing started: wth a 45 minute commute on Friday evenings, and a CD full of new shit to listen to while I curse at slow-moving truckers. So, if you like the mixtape, you have crappy traffic to thank! Anyway, blogging while driving is not a new extreme sport, and I'm not winning any awards doing it. So, enjoy the mixtape and the weekend!
The 57th mixtape cover is by great_sea on Flickr.com, and just seemed to fit with Atlanta weather feeling more and more like true summer. So, I hope it serves to inspire you- wherever you are- to take your shoes off this weekend and walk around in the grass barefoot…just watch out for dog poo.
