The Chuckness

So all day yesterday I’m anticipating heading over to The Paradise in Boston to catch Theophilus London’s show with Friendly Fires. At about 3 PM, he lets the world know that he’s sick and isn’t making the show. Buzzkill of the week. Gonna have to let this footage hold me over until the next time he’s in town. Tweet

Shout out to the ShoutBox on this one.  A crazy cereal commercial from the UK featuring Mord Fustang’s “New World”. Tweet

Pre-order Ambition here. Due out next Tuesday, November 1st (11.1.11). Tweet

XV’s Zero Heroes mixtape dropped back in April, but it’s proving to have some serious longevity. The rapper from Wichita’s energy is out of control, and the combination of him with his unbelievably talented producer, Seven, is proving to be something serious. Gotta love The Dark Knight theme here. The Kid With The Green Backpack should be dropping in the near future — no word yet on an official release date for the debut album. Tweet

Here are the official visuals for Cole’s heavy-hearted “Lost Ones”, off of his well received debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story (review here). Apparently, as the note tells us in the opening frame, this was shot 3 years ago before Cole had any form of a record deal with Roc Nation.

GoPro put together this video showcasing the HD Hero 2 and it’s pretty incredible what you can do with these powerful little cameras.  If you have never messed around with one they are super fun and simple.  This video shows the camera doing everything from filming a great white shark to catching some footage of a lunatic in a flying squirrel suit. Let’s get these dudes on board for a contest, eh? GoPro, hit me up whenever. Tweet

Made Events just released this recap of Electric Zoo 2011. It was awesome. Really awesome. Early bird tickets for Electric Zoo 2012 go on sale in ten minutes here. I hope this video persuades you to go. Tweet

This looks fucking awesome. I don’t even know that much about The Sound Of Arrows, but they put together the pinnacle of album trailers. You legitimately cannot top this. Kids running in slow-mo through gorgeous mountains while waving flares. Water dramatically splashing all over the place. An epic synth-laden track holding down the background music. I want this played during the most dramatic, uplifting moment of my life. I don’t know when that’s gonna be, but I can guarantee that this will be playing in my head. November 8th. Sign me up. Tweet

After planting their seed in every nook and cranny of your head with “That’s Not My Name”, and a huge summer tour, The Ting Tings are getting ready to drop their new album on our ears. “Hang It Up” is the first release from the new disc, and maintains their peppy style that we’re all used to. Shout out to Life + Times. Tweet

Jam. Not even fair. And the drug-induced, risque visuals? I was left with no choice but to share this with the world. Tweet
