TUESDAY: Music Video of the Week

The Ting Ting’s North American release is slated for June 3. And we’re excited. In the UK, they are one of the hottest new bands. Their single “Shut Up and Let Me Go” is currently featured in iPod commercials. Here’s their “Great DJ” video (Calvin Harris also has done a very catchy remix of the song):

American Conquistadors Ransack Whistler, Dominate Golf/Hockey Tournament

blogimage

I flew up on Thursday from LA this weekend to Vancouver and then drove to Whistler Village this weekend to join up with my old Portland Saints teammates for our annual golf/hockey tournament. In the Portland, the two pictured above, are captains in their industries, pillars of their communities. In Whistler, they transform into masked madmen, top-of-the-ropes pile drivers, shock art practicioners, golf baller slayers and hockey champions. It’s really a quite remarkable change. Along the way there were running Mounties, near on-ice brawls and a lot of sobriety. (Well, two out of three isn’t bad, right?) Despite not picking up any points in Friday’s golf outing, we came out flying Saturday, dominating both of our games against teams from the Vancouver area, then handily defeating another team from Vancouver Island on Sunday, finishing in first place. The Americans took home the cup, which sure didn’t please the other nine Canadian teams in the tourney.

Check out the photo gallery of the high-sterical weekend. (All photos taken with an iPhone.)

MONDAY: What we’re working on this week

Busy. Busy. Busy. Everyone always asks us what we’re working on now. This week we’re imaging an LA-based entertainment and production company with a new logo and website, starting to populate the content for a helicopter production company that specializes in airborne images, and completing the website for a hair stylist in Beverly Hills. We’ll be update the Iwata-Medea site with new content and starting the build of the redesigned Artool site. Not to mention a couple of press releases for Centex Homes…

Hump Day Humor

Here’s some humor to get you through your Wednesday. This comic strip is called Garfield Minus Garfield. Photoshop can be very funny.

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

Garfield Minues Garfield

Nike: The Next Level

John Boiler, who we golfed with about this time last year at copywriting legend Hank Hosfield’s wedding, and his crew over at LA-based 72andSunny enlisted Guy Ritchie to direct this new NIke Soccer ad with an all-star cast of footballer. Cool POV:

Music Video of the Week

MTV hasn’t showed an actual video in 15 years, but we still liking watching them. Every Tuesday we’ll show a new one. A couple of years old, “Remind Me” by Royksopp remains one of Isaac’s favorites with its cool animations.
