The Analog Blog on CreamTeam


No this isn't a post about a DJ, or a band, or even a director or music video.

It's about another blog post, actually a feature on another great blog called CreamTeam. The picture above is the actual post.

See, here's the thing. One of their writers' laptop messed up and they had to figure out a way for him to keep posting without a computer. Solution? He brings the CD to the other blogger and draws his review up by hand. They call it the Analog Blog, like it used to be.

Cool, old-school, and actually really clever. I think it's more interesting than a regular old post and definitely unique. I thought it was fan art at first, like at the front page of Wizard comics magazines back in the day. Uh-oh, did the geek in me come out?

Fuerza Bruta launches DJ Connection Series


It was going to happen eventually, and I'm happy they finally did it. Fuerza Bruta, the off-Broadway performance show from the creators of De la Guarda, is celebrating their one-year anniversary and have launched the DJ Connection series.

The series, starting this fall, will host international DJs every Thusday night playing music to the Fuerza Bruta show. The first is on October 30th with The Juan Maclean, followed by Derrick May, David Waxman, and Dave Hollands every week thereafter.

If you haven't seen Fuerza Bruta, it is an awe-inspiring piece of alternative performance fueled by pumping rhythm and energy. The audience is an important part of the show and is encouraged to participate throughout the production.

Tickets are on sale now for $45 (normally $75).

Banksy Opens Pet Shop and Grill in NYC


Profilic street artist, Banksy, has opened up his first official exhibit in New York City under the guise of a pet shop and grill. It's a pretty cool concept playing off society's tendency to spoil our pets. He says he was inspired after seeing a person walking a dog with a diamond-encrusted collar past a homeless person.

The experience is authentic and realistic, with animatronics employed to bring the shop's animals to life and bear urine sprayed around for that "pet store smell". There are hot dog "pups", chicken nuggets eating from a sauce bin, a monkey watching TV, and more oddities.

The show is free and open to the public at The Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill at West 4th and Bleecker from 10am-12am daily until October 31st.

Thanks to P for the tip!
