Jacques is a magazine based out of Williamsburg, New York. Here is what they’re doing that I really like. First of all, they are defining themselves as a...

SONG OF THE DAY
The Entrance Band, which used to be just “Entrance” was a solo project of Guy Blakeslee of Baltimore which then turned into a L.A. affair with the addition of Paz Lenchantin on Bass and Derek James on drums. Nothing like a good thee piece rock band with strong blues influences.

Erykah Bears All
Filmed in her home town of Dallas, in the same location where JFK was shot, Badu pays tribute to a BK indie group by taking a concept and going it solo. With one 2-minute shot, Erykah bears all for her latest single “Window Seat”. I personally love and will always love Badu. She’s a fuckin goddess and that’s that. It might be the fact I was introduced and experience...

David Callow
Meet Mr David Callow.. a true English gent with some mad pencil skills at his disposal. A lot of his work houses his incredible ability to combine delicate drawing techniques with a more robust collage style in a harmonious fashion. The juxtaposition of the two mediums just works to great effect and creates a synonymous style. Whilst he isn’t sharpening those pencils and rocking it in...

Song of the Day
Joe recently reminded me the epic 80s greatness that is this song. It’s like if the Phantom and Peter Gabriel collabed and drank vampire blood in the studio and the end result was this song. Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.

SONG OF THE DAY
A rip has surfaced of one of the tracks off the upcoming Black Keys album Brothers, and it’s every bit as awesome as I’m hoping the record will be. With Dan Auerbach’s solo album and Blakroc keeping the Akron boys busy for 2009, it’s great to see them back in their element. (Which is not to say anything about Blakroc or Keep It Hid–both are amazing) Produced by genre-crosser ...
