VANS the OMEGA
http://vanstheomega.com/

Anyone who's familiar with the Ironlak family will have definitely heard of this duo. SOFLES seems to play with the paint with the end result being a fine example of order out of chaos. His characters are playful, yet his technique is deadly serious. VANS, on the other hand, throws that old school blade letter style in your face in a way that's rarely done. His thorough line work leads your eye around well balanced pieces with interesting color scheme execution. In the video above the two team up in Australia to bang out another burner for the Ironlak consortium. Technique prevails as another wall bites the dust under the reign of the 'Lak.

Outrage - Shutdown - Inneractive Music (2004) by Outrage Backlash
As Hip Hop is to the US, Drum and Bass is the the UK. Spawning from youth culture, inner city street life, and pure adrenaline both genres purvey the nonverbal vibrations of the urban core. Outrage represents the sound to the note in this synapse singeing masterpiece. With it's off centered breaks, rumbling bassline, and eerie sounds, Shut Down is a timeless smasher. There are very few producers out there who can emulate the broken beat sound with such a bite as Outrage. This tune sets the tone for the script of the next William Peter Blatty book remake. Watch your bassbins.

Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. Hates Twitter

If you ask me, Louis C.K. is one of the funniest comedians doing their job at the moment. The video above is one of his appearances on Conan O'briens show talking about how distracted a lot of people are by social media hubs like Twitter. A finer approach toward conveying the truth, there is not. Louis has the uncanny ability to lead an audience on a path that points toward a certain truth in a manner that blatantly explains the absurd. Any comedian that can justify punching their dog in the face has some serious talent. Since 1984 he's done numerous stand up shows and starred in the HBO sitcom Lucky Louie. It's been said that there is truth in jest; Louis C.K. hands you that truth with a crazy straw.

Waking Life 2001 (film)

Waking Life (2001)

Waking Life is a film that I would describe as being a series of extremely interesting riddles for existentialists. While the main character seems to be simultaneously waking from and falling into a pattern of unconventional dreams, the film brings forth various metaphysical questions. Ranging from liminal experiences, human laziness, and the idea of time, there are many topics that are touched upon that you wouldn't usually hear in a conversation anywhere else. All of this adds to the overall dream like quality of the film, making the conversations seem all the more intriguing. Although one can't walk away without questioning their own perception of the world after considering the ideas purveyed in this film.
