Another new mesmerizing music video from my N.A.S.A. homeboys (Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon) as they unleash the Kool Keith/Tom Waits collabo “Spacious Thoughts” from their debut banger, The Spirit of Apollo. One of many original art-meets-animation music videos spawned from the N.A.S.A. project, “Spacious Thoughts” is directed, designed and animated by Fluorescent Hill and once again guided by the steady hands of creative director Syd Garon and producer by Susan Applegate.

Trailer I cut for the upcoming N.A.S.A. film documenting the albums creation
Nothing like a little “Eggs and Sausage” served up by Tom Waits (who you just saw as The Devil) to get you through your hump day blues, or quite possibly keep them going on this gloomy August L.A. day. Brought to you by New York based graphic designer Jackie Lay who was awarded the Certificate of Typographic Excellence by the Type Directors Club.
An unexpected Sunday night filled with far too many glasses of wine makes today’s late post seemingly appropriate as it’s the filmic equivalent of how my head feels right now. The first trailer for Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassusfeatures Heath Ledger in his final film performance, Tom Waits as the Devil, as well as Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law playing variations of Heath’s character after his untimely death during the film’s production last year. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, along with Where the Wild Things are and The Fantastic Mr. Fox, is yet another highly anticipated film coming out later this year (December 25th).
