pink floyd: dark side of the gameboy

It may may be a few hours late but this week's Free Music Friday is an absolute must for any fellow Pink Floyd fans, along with anyone who always loved a bit of Nintendo Game Boy action.


Brought to you by the self proclaimed "video game net label", Pterodactyl Squad has asked a bunch of producers to reproduce an 8-bit version of each track from my favourite album of all time, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. 

The resulting digital homage is both hilarious and awesome, as are the digital reproductions of other epic metal bands and even a Weezer classic.

skateboarding this good rolls in the family

As someone who grew up skateboarding from the age of 5, I can usually spot a talented rider even from a distance.
Blind Freddie couldn't miss these two.

They're not just unbelievably good skaters... They are lady killing twins.

natalie tran: the community channel

This chick OWNS youtube video blogging. She's hot, she's funny and she doesn't really care if you don't dig it because she'd be doing it anyway.
Now that's the kind of stuff worth watching.

Want to know what makes for a great website?

Simplicity.
Do one thing so well, and make it so recognisable that people would understand and enjoy it forwards and even backwards.

free music friday: clams casino mixtape

While it's already become painfully obvious that our Free Music Friday feature may not happen EVERY Friday, what we can promise is some seriously hot shit when it does eventually drop.

This hip-hop instrumental mixtape from New York producer Clams Casino is chock full of the kind of epic soundscapes that make you wish you can run harder, rhyme faster or maybe even live a little better.
Created in the modernisto environment of his Rhode Island attic, it could easily be mistaken as a demo tape from artists as wide-ranging as The Knife & Bjork to Mobb Deep, for whom Clams Casino has already produced beats.

If there is a better reason to fall in love with this city, I can't think of it.
Creative Spaces is everything I love about Melbourne in one neat little package.

ted talk: don't wait, go save some shoes

Every day while posting on this blog, I have to restrain myself from posting more and more TED videos.
Today, I gave in.
