it’s hard to believe that just several years ago these two guys were out wheatpasting posters just like every other street artist out there trying to get their work noticed…

fast forward to 2010 where they’ve really outdone themselves with this project. the detail is simply awe-striking/inspiring.

two very obvious questions that come to mind: how will they top themselves and/or where do they go from here? if there’s any indication in the jump from 2008′s LAZARIDES UK GALLERY show to this, then i can’t hardly wait to see what they do next.

whether or not she is trying to take over the world is debatable (see here).

but don’t take anyone’s word for it – here is a breakdown of the occult meanings embedded in OMLG’s music video for the track “Alejandro”.

as any good marketer knows – symbols rule the world.

noted without comment.

this week’s road trip from colorado to chicago took me through omaha nebraska twice. its sense of american history is rich and plentiful as you drive and walk through its streets – especially the ones located in The Old Market – Omaha’s Art’s and Entertainment District. it’s a bit of a photographer’s paradise as you can see from the imagery i took above.

even though i’ve been through before, THE FAINT’S early musical background and inspiration kinda all clicked for me this time around…

also, here’s the Weekend Playlist from RCRDLBL that i’ve been getting acquainted with.

head over to NEET’S blog page for the streaming version of the new M.I.A. track “XXXO” – which i’m digging, but i also have a feeling that all the corporate radio hounds are salivating over being able to get this on their stations and into the ears of millions of tweens on the verge of teendom that’ll give whole new meaning to PAYOLA.

also be sure to check out the lyrics – they’re definitely worth a read. my fave: “cos your tweetin me like tweety bird on ya i phone”.

TELEPATHE! COLD CAVE! MEMORY TAPES! PLUS OPEN BAR UNTIL 11PM… WHAT GIVES?

i’ma warm up a bit (so i don’t pull anything) and just ease into this first post of OH-10 with some casual sightings, observances and general rambling.

first off – judging from the dancefloors over the holidays to lots of DJ propaganda that has been arriving in the ol’ inbox – looks like HOUSE (as in music) is set to make a comeback this year. here’s a nice little remix done by HOT CITY of DAN BLACK’S “SYMPHONIES” that captures that sound quite nicely.

also, looking forward to season 4 of SKINS. i’ve been addicted to this thing since the opening episode when tony and the old crew drew me in like a moth to the flame… the new season begins in a couple of weeks. check their site for listings.

and last, but certainly not least, i sure hope i can make it to this while out on a coinciding business trip. dudes are killing it with their next level painting styles.

until next time.
