Coconut Records

He plays Max Fischer in one of my all-time favorite films and now he’s quickly becoming one of my favorite go-to musicians.  The man is Jason Schwartzman.  The band is Coconut Records.  And this, my friends is a keeper.
Recommended tracks:  ”West Coast”, “Nighttiming”, “The Thanks I Get”, “Ask Her To Dance”

My kind of type

“Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day”.  And yes, I lifted that straight from the film’s website but I dig it.  Shot entirely in HD by former San Diegan and current Plexifilm proprietor, Gary Hustwit celebrates the font’s 50th anniversary with a documentary that’s pretty darn cool.

My Morning Jacket

For the record, Kentucky’s My Morning Jacket is the greatest rock band of our time.  Yup, I said it.  Their new album drops in June.  Click on the pic above and get yourself a sneak peak.  After that, its SNL, Austin City Limits, Radio City Music Hall and every other festival on the planet.  

Play-Doh NYC

The third TV commercial for SONY Bravia HDTV could very well be the most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation I’ve ever seen. Watch the ad but stay for the making of video. Genius.

Payback

I’ll let you google the original (girl smacks boy over head with baking pan, then kicks him in the nuts)… Here’s his revenge. This is some relationship.

Home security done right.

Foam City

For SONY’s new TV spot, which airs May 1st, they filled three city blocks with foam. This just looks fun. And to think someone is getting paid to make this. Ahh, the good life.

Flogos

It’s a bird…it’s a plane…no, it’s a Flogo!  This is ridiculous.

Way to go Craig!

Not a big golf fan but I love how everyone in the entire bar goes nuts. “Way to go Craig!”
