This May, PIRCH will open a 32,000 sq. ft., three-floor, showroom on the corner of Broome and Lafayette. PIRCH, for those who don’t know, is a luxury appliance retailer that allows you to try out the products in store, creating an experience for the shopper that is unlike any other. Believe me, I’d be way more inclined to buy a Miele oven and dishwasher if I could make dinner and do the washing up as a trial run. Actually that’s not true. When I was doing post-production at my last gig, the production company had a Miele dishwasher I was contemplating on stealing. But I digress.
I’m with die-hard apple fanboy/a beard short for a *nix-nerd guy. “That was over the top”. Indeed. Way over the top.

For the past few years Gatorade has congratulated its athletes by taking a step back, shining the spotlight on their G moments. Today they celebrate The Giants, and Eli Manning’s G moment: winning his second Super Bowl.
The color version of the print ad is running in the first post-Super Bowl issue of Sports Illustrated, as well as the New York Times. A black and white version was also created.
I have very good friends who are vegan, and I’ve never tapped that, but the bragging going on about how much they can hang on in bed and how well they “taste”.. well.. Sex is like money. If you talk about it all the time, you clearly don’t have any. That the ad looks a little like they’re documenting domestic violence victims isn’t good either.
And I’m not sure veganism does the same for the ladies, as the related video to this one on Youtube shows this young lady known as the “angry little vegan” ranting on her “stupid boyfriend”. Her meat-eating boyfriend by the way. I can think of a few times when this is not a good quality in a boyfriend, like when you have no meat yourself. Oh, we’re still talking about food. Sorry. My bad.
Poor grammar. We see it every day. In facebook posts, in emails, in memos… and graffiti tags on the street. Created by Y&R Chicago these print ads drive to a blog where people can post their own found mis-tags, as well as donate money to an urban language and grammar school.
and you know I only posted it because I thought “Biatch” was great. 😛
The video for “The Blame”, a soothing yet melancholy track, features Gonjasufi wandering in solitude amidst a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. In conceptualizing the video, Krug recognized the song’s dark undertones and chose to enhance it with desolate imagery to bring it to life.
Having always had a fascination with the 1970s films The Omega Man and Soylent Green, Krug went back to these films for reference to prior to filming and selected quintessential Los Angeles locations that would be easily recognizable. A major challenge in the production of the video was creating the illusion of a deserted city within a congested urban metropolis.
“When you decide to film in Downtown LA, you concede to the fact that people are going to be everywhere and in every shot no matter how hard you try to block those things from happening,” says Krug. ”The real work was painting all the people out of the backgrounds in post.”
On top of being a talented director and photographer, Krug is also an experienced visual effects artist and did his own effects on the video.
“All the clips have undergone serious paint work to remove people from the backgrounds, says Krug. “Most all of the shots were turned into matte paintings so I could introduce the desert elements without too much heartache.”
For this project Krug teamed up with longtime friend and cinematographer David Myrick, who he has successfully collaborated with on numerous projects in the past.
“The Blame” is from Gonjasufi’s new album MU.ZZ.LE. released through Warp Records.
This might look a bit like the last supper, and has many details like the hand on the skull to the left that seemingly belongs to nobody depicted, but what we’re supposed to see is the environmentally sustainable bamboo swizzle stick. Because the Cosmopolitan hotel in Vegas is just the right amount of wrong. I’m confused as to whether the swizzle stick is right or wrong, too busy trying to find an owner of that hand. This is going to bug me for the rest of the evening I just know it. Oh wait, I bet it’s “thing” who just joined the party, Morticia is in the ladies room. Yep, that explains it.
