In their newest video, Interiors, Mirror Mirror cast Rumi Missabu, legendary member of the 60′s psychedelic drag troupe The Cockettes, as their hermetic heroine. Dressed in a stark black dress designed by Lauren Devine, with metallic cones extending from each of his fingers, Rumi slinks around a white abyss mouthing lyrics about reclusiveness. The effect of [...]

Go with the Flow
July 11, 2011 – 8:50 am
One of the best reasons to visit Finland’s capital, Helsinki, in August is the Flow Festival. The annual three-day music festival is held in a very beautiful industrial area next to the city center, by the sea. And every year it features an inspired line up, which for 2011 includes artists such as Kanye West, [...]
Solid Sound
July 10, 2011 – 10:44 am
Last weekend—with a backpack full of coffee-stained film and a Polaroid camera given to me by friends at the Impossible Project––my friend Oliver and I took a bus to North Adams, Massachusetts to attend the second annual Solid Sound Festivall at the Mass MoCA. Curated by the members of the venerable musical outfit Wilco, the [...]

Apocalypse Now
June 27, 2011 – 5:38 pm
For some reason I like to compare things, everything. This means that I am the kind of person that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Give me a list of ten things and I could rank them in order of preference almost instantly. Dogs, books, laughter, 1.2…….9. I am not one [...]

In Conversation with Twin Shadow
June 6, 2011 – 8:01 am
Twin Shadow’s music has been christened many things: a resurrection of synth-laced 1980s tunes! Hazy new wave-tinged pop! Bedroom electro-disco! All of these revival features have garnered the band’s founder George Lewis Jr. enough cred to earn him the moniker the “black Morrissey,” and not without merit. His songs have wonderfully danceable beats, yet the [...]
Get Chairlifted
June 2, 2011 – 11:02 am
Chairlift is totally at it again. They’re famous for making the first video to use data-moshing, Evident Utensil (even before Kanye could drop his similar technology video) as well as making the most amazing Justin Beiber remixed video, where they imposed their own song onto his video seamlessly, essentially making Beiber lip-synch Chairlift. This time [...]
