Thomas Jorion: Silencio.

Absolutely incredible and stunning set of images from photographer Thomas Jorion, great use of locations and lighting throughout. I suggest you head to his site to see some more of his abandonment projects.

Year Zero Trailer.

YEAR ZERO is a modern take on high performance surfing set in a post-apocalyptic world, reminiscent of Mad Max or an HG Wells novel. It tells a story of a band of renegade surfers, including Dion Agius, Yadin Nicol, Nate Tyler, Taj Burrow, CJ Hobgood and Damien Hobgood, on a road trip through the apocalypse in search of waves, women, and good times. The film’s original soundtrack by BLACK MOUNTAIN, whom VICE MAGAZINE has called, “One of the best rock n’ roll bands of our time,” creates a sonic landscape that fully delivers the immersive experience that director Joe G envisioned for the film.

The film was shot on location around the world entirely in super 16mm film and offers a unique concept with stunning visuals that capture the essence of surfing in a novel setting. YEAR ZERO follows GLOBE’S previous award winning productions such as SECRET MACHINE and NEW EMISSIONS OF LIGHT AND SOUND and is undoubtedly GLOBE’S largest film project to date. Link.

Music Monday 65.

I'm very excited about this week's post, a couple of superb colloborations and a couple of highly anticipated comebacks.

Bon Iver and James Blake - Fall Creek Choir Boys



Wow. There was a huge amount of excitement when this was announced. Two of the most critically acclaimed artists of the last two years join forces, and wow. It is the perfect about of Bon Iver and the perfect amount of James Blake. I don't think anyone expected anything less.

Lady Gaga - You And I (Wild Beasts remix)



Now as far as expected colloborations goes, I don't think this can be put down as one of those. Wild Beasts, again, were one of the most critially acclaimed artists this year with the fantastic Smother album, and Gaga, is well, Gaga. This remix works perfectly. It is dark and haunting, and you get lost in the track, well done Wild Beasts (yes, I'm giving them most of the credit).

Florence And The Machine - What The Water Gave Me



Remember Florence? You know the one that played every festival and had her music on every advert and montage possible? All from her debut album? The debut album was fantastic and deserved the success it got, however, it is definitely nice to hear something new. And with almost a million and a half views in just a few days, I'm not the only one to hear something new. I can't say it is dramatically different from the first album, but if it ain't broke.

Ben Folds Five - House

http://www.nbc.com/sing-off/about/benfolds.shtml

Ok, I can't find a version of the song that I can embedd anywhere, so the link will do. But it's Ben Folds Five's first song in over a decade. Yep, a decade. If you don't know Ben Folds, he's covered Dr Dre with an orchestra and has had Chatroulette on a projector during a gig. Yeah, he's cool. And very talented, go listen.

Pirelli 2012 Calendar.

There is one calendar that makes everyone stand up and pay attention every year. No, it's not the Hollyoaks babes or some WAG getting their wabs out, it's Pirelli. Year after year they shoot some of the most beautiful women in the world in the most wonderful way and this year is no different. And as a bonus it is shot by the legendary Mario Sorrenti, with Alessandro Scotti capturing these behind the scenes images.

T-World 7: New York

The humble t-shirt is thrown on by billions of people everyday, every size, every colour with every design imaginable. From the most simple to the grossly complex, the designs seem never ending, and we're all the better for it.



T-World takes a look behind some of the most creative, innovation and influential t-shirt designers in the ever-inspiring New York. In a world when everybody gets the same t-shirts from the high street, it is always nice to get something different, something that might even make you stand out a little.

Maybe some day I'll get around to throwing something onto some cotton.
