Comments rss Trackback Comments rss TrackbackGot any Labor Day weekend plans yet? If not, you should head over to Randall’s Island to check out this year’s Electric Zoo festival. The open-air festival takes places from 11 AM to 11 PM each day and is going to have a large amount of artists tweaking nobs, spinning records, and making bodies gyrate every which way. Because my band is playing Saturday night, I think it is safe to assume I will be in attendance on Sunday, September 5th.
The lineup includes:
Armin van Buuren, ATB, David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Tiga, Ferry Corsten, Roger Sanchez, The Whip, Kaskade, Axwell, Deadmau5, DJ Mehdi, Nathan Fake, Busy P, Markus Schulz, Richie Hawtin, Chris Lake, Robbie Rivera, Audion, Steve Angello, Yuksek, James Holden, Luciano, Steve Bug, Speedy J, Adam Beyer, Guy Gerber, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Tenaglia, Lindstrom, Steve Aoki, Marco Carola, Martin Buttrich, Menno de Jong, Ben Watt, Chateau Flight, Tom Middleton, Josh Gabriel, Seth Troxler, Paco Osuna, Cassy, Prins Thomas, James Murphy, Victor Calderone, Milton Henry, Heidi, Chus & Ceballos, François K, Desyn Masiello, Mark Ernestus, Jason Jollins, Felix Martin, Andy Butler, Pat Mahoney, Al Doyle and many more ..

Music Go Music, like the Sound of Animals Fighting, is a group of musicians who prefer to keep their identities unknown to the masses. So far, their videos for “Warm in the Shadows” and “Just Me” (posted below) have intrigued this guy very much .. I look forward to the release of their first full-length album on October 6th. The name of album is Expressions.
Comments rss TrackbackLast night, Rolling Stone posted a tasty piece on Portugal. The Man which you can read HERE. I am glad to see that these fellas are starting to gain the respect that all their hard work as been put towards.
Also being posted last night, John Gourley took to the blogs to explain the process of creating the insane cover art for their latest release The Satanic Satanist. He has also released the rough sketches of some of the art so the fans can try out their own color schemes, set-ups, etc .. Check out the full blog post below along with the downloadable artwork.
Hello guys and gals, John here. We are doing something that we have done in the past with our previous albums that may have a little more freedom of interpretation and reinvention. This is. or should be…., the art & packaging files of our new album “The Satanic Satanist”. I remember one moment very vividly that I found to be one of those fantastic moments in the making of this album. Austin had me over for hours and hours, as you can imagine, working on illustrations and template ideas… days and days… when we came down to the coloring. I ended up doing a bunch of splashes in watercolor all in blues and greens, something that he could take and change to the colors of his choosing. After a week or so with the colors Austin ended up calling me at the end of his artistic rope needing help. He sent over the black line drawings on their white background and the layers of blue splashes to try and offer some sort of plan or idea or push. I opened the files and, need to be honest here, had NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what to do with it. It actually hurt my head to even think about. I am not one who can easily handle the mass of layers that file in and out of photo shop Needless to say, I had no idea what to do with the color and had no intention of trying anything at all (though I told Austin I had tried… sorry man). That very night, or morning, around 2am Austin Sellers sends me what would ultimately end up being the color scheme and layout of the album. It blew my mind. Sometimes it only takes lifting that pressure for a moment to get things moving again. Really great work by Austin with this. Very impressive.
We would love to see what you all can do with these files. Feel free to build stencils, to rebuild the package, to draw up new templates. Have fun with it. This is what Austin and I do every time we sit down together. Have fun!

Comments rss TrackbackThis is the best thing DMX has done in years — because last night in front of Madeo, the oft-incarcerated rapper completely slammed the entire state of Arizona, insulted the sheriff who controls his fate and broke out some darn impressive freestyle.
