Films We Love :: Bouncing Cats by Nabil Elderkin
Just watched this trailer with my mouth wide open. Nabil is a force of nature behind a camera. Over the years, his collaborations with music’s brightest stars has brought out some of the most stunning visuals to date. Straight love the man! Happy to see him expand a story into what looks like an incredibly uplifting piece of art, music and humility. Can’t wait to see this one!!! – Jaws Truly
Videos We Love :: Time Lapse Mandala
In Sanskrit, “Mandala” means “circle”, and that concept is at the heart of both the Buddhist philosophy and their ancient, traditional art form, Sand Mandalas. Sand mandalas are essentially circular tapestries, created not with thread, but with sand. They are first sketched in very basic outline by the monks, working on a table or flat surface. Then the process of placing millions of specifically colored grains of sand to form the pattern of the mandala, usually working from the center outwards. The process can take weeks or months due to the incredibly delicate nature of the work. When they are finally completed, the mandala is destroyed and the sand returned to nature, thus closing the circle once again.
This awesome video shows a group of monks working on a mandala at Georgia’s Emory University, a task they completed in just six days.

art we love :: overunder – “nevs”
I just wish there was more of this going on. Though I love the idea of man marking his surroundings since the beginning of time, there’s something really nice to see art/tags applied to a three dimensional space. Add a twist of nature/natural elements into the mix and what you’ve got is a recipe for dopeness. Nice one NEVS!
videos we love :: the 6-sec drum loop that changed the world
“Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video
