today and tomorrow

I just went to see ‘Berlin Calling‘, it’s a movie about a Berlin electronic music composer who got himself a little far into the Berlin scene. His DJ name is Ickarus, that should give you a hint. The soundtrack by Paul Kalkbrenner, who plays DJ Ickarus, is just excellent. Recommended!

Sean Dunne made this little documentary about ‘The World’s Greatest Music Collection‘. Paul Mawhinney used to have a record store, from each record he sold he kept the last one to add to his archive. So in the end he has an unique collection of 3.000.000 records. Unfortunately he has to let go of it, but apparently no one shows any serious interest in buying it.
This movie is heartbreaking, Paul really was in it for the love for music.

This video is an extra from a mini documentary that Aaron Draplin & Jess Gibson are finishing up. Aaron tells about a sign he once bought on ebay and why he thinks that ‘America Is F*cked…….(Graphically at least)’.

Macaframa is the name of a crew of track bike riders but also the name of a film about them. In this first clip you can see a quite impressive skid by Nate Gogol. But actually all their clips on Vimeo are worth watching, some of them were shot with a high speed camera and the image quality is just lush.

And this is the trailer:

‘Made In Queens‘ is a short documentary directed by Nicolas Randall and Joe Stevens. It’s about a small crew of 6 Trinida­dian teenagers in Queens, New York, who customize their BMX bikes with huge soundsystems. They gave their bikes even names:

Basszilla, which looks definitely louder than in that November 2007 The New York Times article.

Tinnitus Rex

Frankenbike

This is the official trailer.

This is the logo that Michael C. Place designed for the documentary ‘Objectified‘ by Gary Hustwit. Maybe you’ve heard about Gary’s pervious documentary ‘Helvetica‘ about graphic design and typography. This time the subject is industrial design. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait till early 2009 to see Jonathan Ive, Marc Newson or Dieter Rams on the big screen. The production stills on the website for sure look promising.

Here are 2 stills from ‘12 Glowing Men‘ by Martijn Hendriks. That’s all the info I have.

James Jean is an artist, it’s simple as that. ProcessRecess is his online shop and blog, especially his blog is interesting because he often shows some steps in his process. He was asked to do this illustration for the Watchmen movie, a Vargas-esque portrait of Sally Jupiter, played by Carla Gugino. Luscious!
