Of all the people I thought I'd share a bus with on a journey home, Jeffrey Lewis was certainly one I totally didn't expect, and yet on Wednesday evening I shared a bus to from Oxford St to Stoke Newington with that man. Totally, totally bizarre.
I think I actually love him.

Cartoon Shorts Club
A brilliant cartoon channel on YouTube, with some wonderful (mainly old Disney-made) shorts. They don't make'em like the used to. SO brilliant and funny. The animation's imaginative, using some really great looping techniques, and the synchronization with the music is flawless.
Here's "The Beach Party" from 1931 to wet your appetite. The visual gags are so good, and they just keep on coming.

School of Seven Bells
I can't get enough of them at the moment. I don't think "Alpinisms" been off my iTunes for the past 2 weeks.
Seriously addictive, beautiful stuff. I'm very excited to see them support Bat For Lashes in April. It should be pretty special.

Zero
Here's the artwork for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs new single "Zero".
Eyeballs are very much "in" at the moment it seems.
This is SO frickin' sweet. From hearing the track, they seem to have definitely waved goodbye to their garage-rock beginings, and evolved into a Blondie-style synth-pop outfit. Despite loosing their "dirty-sex-beast-orgasm-five-times-during-each-song-whilst-kicking-your-face-in" edge that Karen's voice once had, that kind of freshness was only going to last a short amount of time anyway. Constantly evolving and never staying still is definitely the way to go.
You can hear the new track NOW on their MySpace.

Dean Chalkley
Dean works very closely with my good friend Carrie Louise (whom I also happen to share my studio with). Check out his star-studded portfolio, it's pretty god-damn awesome.
Here's a photo of The Horrors to wet your appetite.
