DANCEiSM

Take a look at this deeply experimental audio/visual experience. This 10 min piece is a visual masterpiece sporting outfits that’d fit great w/ DANCEiSM circa ’09.

Turn up the volume, grab some tea and turn off the lights, it’s something to enjoy seriously.

PBS has put together this very interesting mini-documentary about the state of music, downloading and where the industry is going and it’s a great look into role in the music world as a blog. This video explores internet culture and it’s changing place in music and music videos. Music reviews and music promotion have changed dramatically over the past few years which is alleviating the need for some artists to use traditional Major Labels.

Skrillex has successfully used the techniques mentioned in the previous video and used his own resources to make an independent label, use blogs, and release free music to increase grow his audience to new levels. Read more after the Jump.

Curious Josh was recently interviewed for TV a couple nights ago. Shedding light on an often misunderstood subculture, Josh did a great job at explaining to lay-folk about the radical self-expression and radical acceptance found at Burning Man events and the ticket situation which has many in the burner community scratching their heads.

In case you’re new to this scene, Josh is considered the definitive photographer of the burning man scene and it’s LA nightlife. For those interested in finding an in-point for burner-related events, Josh is the guy to know. Thankfully, he puts together an email blast about upcoming events all the time. So go sign-up on the mailing-list to get the insider scoop!

What do you think of the ticket situation? Did the organizers think this through? Is it fair?
