New Young Pony Club

May 27, 2007 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music

New Young Pony Club are a London based band that was just recently signed to Modular Records (home of awesomeness such as The Avalanches, Chromeo, and Cut Copy). They sound somewhere in-between Blondie and The Blow, with a tinge of Madonna-esque vocals. Lots of great bass lines and hot keyboard action make them really fun to dance to.

Honda / Choir

May 27, 2007 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Films & Music

I was browsing around Partizan’s site after posting that Teenagers video, so I’ve been watching a bunch of really great videos and commercials all morning. This commercial for Honda by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet really stuck out to me though. Honda has been really hitting the nail on the head with their commercials lately, and this one is no exception. The art direction is totally stunning, the lighting around the choir slightly mimicking the shots of the car. Even the clothes that the choir are wearing, the women’s outfits in particular, are so well done and stylish.
Just watch it and you’ll get to see “what a Honda feels like”.

The Teenagers / Homecoming

May 27, 2007 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Films & Music

This video for The Teenagers, directed by Kinga Burza, is so beautiful and dreamy, even though the song itself is kinda’ raunchy and talks about getting down with your step-cousin or something. The song and video remind of something that Sofia Coppola would do, sort of like her short film, ‘Lick The Star’.

The Teenagers released the single for Homecoming a week ago on Merok Records. Also be sure to check out their really good remix Myspace!

About 150 zombies descended upon Union Square in San Francisco yesterday, attacking cable cars and Apple stores in an attempt to eat as much brains as possible.
When is LA gonna’ have one of these?! I’d soooooo be down.

Check out Declan McCullagh’s awesome pictures here.

Talk about an awesome job… David Rager seems to be the MOCA Los Angeles’ go to guy for everything advertising related for all of the big shows for the last, let’s say, 2 years? And with good reason too, the man has some really awesome designs under his belt.
Check out his great work!
