This is where you scream ‘why didn’t I think of this???’ and jump off a bridge! Isreali musician Kutiman has crafted an album entirely from Youtube clips, and it is nothing short of brilliant. Dj Shadow, Mike Realm and Pb Wolf look out. Thanks to Dutch for the heads up!

Great video for Of Montreal’s Id Engager, directed by Marc Reisbig and Hanne Berkaak (passion pictures). Always great to see hand-drawn animation getting some love! This came out a bit ago but I only saw it now, so there!

AWESOME. A 40-piece orchestra interpreting the music of the late great Jay-Dee. Arrangements by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Lots of cameos throughout – here’s Pos and Talib doin Stakes is High and then the show closing with Illa J (Dilla’s little brother) singing over Fall in Love (footage courtesy of DERT).

There was a film crew there and it looks like it will be released as a DVD! It will be a must-have (at least for me). Thanks to YesYesYall for the heads up!

The latest issue of Updown Magazine magically arrived at my door. It’s a nice little Canadian publication that covers art, music, and snowboarding. Oh yea, it’s FREE!
