Some great new tees released by New York’s Violette. I’m feelin’ a little hip-hop meets hipster on this one. Hop and skip to High Snobiety for more.

In “2 or 3 Things I Know About Her,” Jean-Luc Godard whispers in our ears about money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. The legendary filmmaker spins off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. Pre-order now at Criterion Collection.

From prog-rock to densely layered indie-pop

I’m really getting a kick out of The Most Serene Republic. The young septet from Toronto have a quirky mix of indie rock that reminds me of being at an art show and staring at a piece, trying to figure out if this is amazing or just something I don’t get. The new album is rigid, bubbly and begining to feel more and more like a masterpiece. Have a listen here.

Printers suck and here’s why.

Printers are a big F-U to the environment. That’s why I encourage everyone to hop over to the Papercut site, from where you can download a small application which makes the sound of a tree-murdering chainsaw every time you hit command-p (or ctrl-p on Windows) to print a document. Printers suck, trees rule. Do it! [via Wired]

If it wasn’t $2250 I would definitely consider picking up the IF Mode Folding Bike. It’s perfect for commuters and weighs only 23 lbs. I think AreaWare should send me one for all the press I can give them.

Ever watched a music video that made you love a band that much more? This just happened to me with Yacht “Summer Song”.

It’s time for an oversized watch from Diesel. Stainless steel case, yellow second hand and brown genuine leather strap completes the look. Available here.

You! Me! Dancing! Street Scene!

This year’s Street Scene lineup keeps growing and while the latest news is the Beastie Boys headlining, I’m actually more looking forward to catching some bands I haven’t had the chance to see live yet. Dancing around to this oldie by Los Campesinos! is on my list.

It’s really hard to describe all the awesomeness going on in this video. I’d just like to know how much acid they did.
