Sub Pop Soundcloud

It seems like there's finally a decent YouTube-for-audio in the form of soundcloud.com, with it's success measured by the number of labels that have started using it to distribute their MPFrees.

Sub Pop are using it to giveaway/stream a total of 4 tracks from the new Wolf Parade LP, and if you head over to their soundcloud page they also have a few mix-tapes to listen/download - featuring the likes of Avi Buffalo, No Age and Vetiver.

UP THERE.

Lovely short film up at Vimeo documenting the guys that still paint the multi-story billboard ads in NYC.

FYI ...should you find yourself wanting a Stella at the end, it's an advertorial. Produced by Mother NY.

Via Howies.

Lost Explanation from A Bad Robot Insider

interesting take on the Lost finale from inside the writers' room at Bad Robot; still kind of disappointed they came down on the side of faith over science - felt like it had been a pretty even debate up to the last season...

Public Enemies

The docu style and attention to detail are admirable, but the awful photography and music sink this.

Grosse Point Blank

90's highlight from John Cusack, which has aged well. Funny and suspenseful with some great lines.

Celebrate Originality? Star Wars vs Adidas

Very, very strange ad for Adidas... totally lacking in atmosphere. And Beckham shoots first.

Write The Future

Sure, it's an ad from a mega corporation, but ads don't get much more epic than this - just in time for the World Cup. Amores Perros director Alejandro González Iñárritu is the man calling the shots...

And while we're at it, here's a quick Nike salute to LA Laker Kobe Bryant, leading the Lakers into the NBA finals this week. Andre 3000 covers All Together Now on the soundtrack. (via Pitchfork)

TV Catch Up

TV on the move is becoming more and more of a reality, thanks in no small part to the BBC iPlayer (which is even HD on the iPad) and now TV Catch Up, who have just launched an iPhone-friendly version of their site.

The name is a little misleading, as much of the site's original PVR functionality has been dropped to meet legal requirements, and by all accounts the service is now legal. Barely.

Visit iphone.tvcatchup.com from your (i)phone browser or ipad.tvcatchup.com from your iPad and once registered you can watch live TV from the bulk of the better Freeview channels. Add it to the home screen for easy access.
