Hanukkah starts tomorrow, December 8th! Wish your friends a happy and properly-spelled holiday, courtesy of JESS3.

I know its the social network we love to hate, but I like at least some if not all of the layout. It makes Facebook look so boring. It feels like tumblr + spotify + the old ghetto myspace crowd got older and more sophisticated.

“Bottom of the River” from the album Carry the Fire is an awesome anthemic song. It’s a slice of Americana, and is spot-on with the band’s Southern roots too.

Introducing “The Baddest Man Alive,” off of The Man with the Iron Fists soundtrack (which can be streamed in full on RZA’s Soul Temple Music page on Bandcamp).

The other night I saw Yelawolf play at the House of Blues. Rittz and a band called Trouble Andrew opened the show. I was really impressed with Andrew’s sound. Hailing from Brooklyn, and looking like a hipster, he certainly looked the part. The music has a kind of vintage sound.

Jonny “Rittz” Valiant a Gwinnett County, Georgia native was a defeated artist working as a cook at a barbecue restaurant. Thanks to dedication, luck, talent, and a perfectionist’s approach to lyrics he’s finally making it.

When Tokyo’s +81 magazine approached Lo Siento to design a cover for their 2011 September issue, the theme was “next creative.” Given the broad nature of the theme this could’ve gone many different ways. The end result was a typographic lettering based on bubble wrap that was injected with colored water.

The video is like a cross between Cruel Intentions and Romeo and Juliet.
