denyingphoenix: Brian Faust - 5 Things I Love for Friday #115

The portrait work of Diego Sierraita - I’m insanely jealous of this guy’s abilities with a camera and controlling light. His portrait work in particular is awesome. Raw, gritty and emotional.
N.E.R.D. live on Letterman (video) - The song itself caught fire for me after seeing them perform it live here. Killer performance. Not sure what’s going on with the hyphey-style dancing, but I love the fact that they’re making fun of the coke-addled smut queens that seem to dominate the media coverage these days.
Pancake Puffs - You may think to yourself, “If only I could combine the awesomeness of pancakes with the genius technology behind the Twinkie…” Fear not, my friend, the future is now. The future is pankcake puffs. (warning: auto playing video on load)
Beck’s new album - Okay, so it hasn’t dropped yet, but the in-the-studio coverage from Rolling Stone got me hyped. I’ll admit to being hit-and-miss with Beck’s albums, but the fact that he’s working with Danger Mouse alone piques my interest.
Gnarls Barkley “Going On” (video) - Speaking of Danger Mouse, I stumbled across the new video for this Gnarls track. Filmed in Jamaica with all local performers, it’s the best example of the what more American music videos should be like. The performers kill it, and the production of the video is perfectly directed to match (except perhaps the weird post-production at the end).
