Immigrant Song

Okay, hyped or not, everybody cares about this movie.

I think the original film is better, but it doesn’t come with this incredible title sequence. And oh, OH, NO BIG DEAL, JUST TRENT REZNOR AND KAREN O FINALLY WORKED TOGETHER ON A SONG. It’s forgivable that it’s a Led Zeppelin song too (just go with it).

Blur did the effects for this sequence, led by creative director Tim Miller.

Here’s a sweet article and interview with Tim Miller on io9

The books seem like a waste of time, but the Swedish films are pretty damn entertaining. David Fincher’s films are always pretty, so those are worth a look.

Bad POV

Are you addicted to Breaking Bad? Not yet? I guess do it, man.

Hard Wear

I love hardware.

BOND Hardware makes jewelry based on my favorite aisle at the hardware store.

Thanks BleachBlack, as always.

 

Eleventy-One

1. I think in list form often,

2. Music is the only constant comfort in my life,

3. Number 2 seems like an dramatized version of the truth; it could be.

Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine

Holy shit I kind of absolutely NEED THIS SHIRT.

By the way, as if you didn’t already know: Refused are reuniting.

I kind of choked up when I read “See you in the pit”!

ATDI is reuniting too, but they deserve a post of their own.

We said goodbye to 2011 by going to the American Nightmare reunion show in LA too. Also deserves its own post – but in the meantime, check out this guy’s Flickr for photos of American Nightmare, Trash Talk, Touché Amoré and Weekends.

Bōsōzoku – GOD SPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR (1976)

GOD SPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR isn’t just a sweet band from Canada.

It’s a 1976 documentary about Japanese biker gangs in the 1970s.

Here’s the entire movie for you, just because!

A&C F21

Right? Really, really cute jewelry.

Alex & Chloe always do good. I didn’t know they did a collaboration with Forever 21 till today (though it’s kind of painful to shop there, it’s also a vortex that can suck you in when you’re shopping for accessories).

Price points are really reasonable and the designs are geometric, black, spikey, and glittery. Sold!

I’m Yours

Busy! That’s the place to be.

E&O is all mine and my dearest, but I also started contributing to Los Angeles I’m Yours, a city-specific arts and culture blog run by Kyle and Bobby from The Fox Is Black, because collaborating is GREAT, kids!

I love Los Angeles, I am unabashedly a native, and I’m grateful to contribute to a blog that shows off the great things about this city.

Here’s what I have posted at LAIY so far:
