MUSIC
Hanna Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
When the European action film Hanna came out earlier
this year, everyone was all kinds of stoked on it. Which was to be
expected, as it was totally awesome. Its recent release to DVD allowed
for the fever to flare up again, but this time the real kicker is the
soundtrack. Done by electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers, the Hanna original motion picture soundtrack is one of the rare works of its kind that can stand on its own without
the context of the film. Download “Container Park” and “Hanna’s Theme
(vocal version)” and rock out to the progressive electronic goodness.
ART
ALEDLEWIS.COM
Maybe it’s because I’m knee-deep in the sass of
20-something-dom, but I do enjoy art that makes me chuckle. Because
yeah, that landscape is pretty or whatever, but it just doesn’t have the
thrill power of a cheeky screenprint. Or any piece of art that Aled
Lewis has ever produced. Lewis, a designer, illustrator and captain of
Threadless T-shirt graphics, is tops when it comes to twisting humor out
of reality. See his work at
ALEDLEWIS.COM, where you can also
order prints of some of his finer pieces, such as the one detailing what
Super Mario vs. Bowser would be like in real life. Spoiler Alert:
underwhelming. And hilarious.
