Pendleton Ward | Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

The best unkown cartoon you’ll watch this year. Adventure Time is a sort of demented and psychedelic Calvin & Hobbes for the fantasy nerd. It’s awesome beyond words.

Guy Ritchie | Dior Homme

I guess Martin Scorsese just got beaten at his own game. This is good on so many levels it actually made Muse tolerable.

Know Your Director | Richard Ayoade

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:57:00 +0200

Richard Ayoade, best known for his acting career and the role of Moss in The IT Crowd, has been working as a video-clip director with the brilliant Warp Films for years now.

His style has proven to be very eclectic, with a knack for homaging other directors and movies. He’s worked, among others, for Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Last Shadow Puppets. Here you can see his full videography.

Ayoade’s debut narrative feature, Submarine, is now screening at Toronto International Film Festival and receiving grand reviews. I personally can’t wait to see it.

Christmas has pretty much lost its purpose now.

Martin Scorsese | Bleu de Chanel Ad

If you always thought that parfume ads shouldn’t make any sense, Mr. Scorsese begs to differ. Except for the collapsing walls, that is.

Sufjan Stevens - From the Mouth of Gabriel

While no one was watching, Sufjan Stevens came out of nowhere with a 60 minutes long, eight songs EP. You can stream All Delighted People EP or buy it for only 5$ from bandcamp. And it’s brilliant.

““There’s a tension between the uneasily resolving chords and lightfooted piano shufle on the title track, as Butler sings in a restrained falsetto: “Sometimes I can’t believe it/ I’m moving past the feeling.” As The Suburbs plays out, that “feeling” is one that lived on Funeral and is dying here. The initial fantasy of Funeral was escaping the neighborhood, dancing beneath the police lights, and living on misbehavior. The Suburbs can be seen as the update decades later, with those same kids having kids of their own, and moving back to and struggling in the same neighborhoods.””

- Ian Cohen on Arcade Fire’s new album, The Suburbs.
