Do you like what we have been up to lately? We trolled Supreme, got love from Rachel Maddow, beat Tribeca Film Festival in the Vine game and reported from the front lines of #OccupyGezi. We interviewed artists, made mixtapes, documented graffiti in London and shot the “Rent Is Too Damn High” music video for Jimmy McMillan all over NYC. If last year we were about boxer […]

Here’s that “Good Ol’ Rudeboys” mixtape we were talking about. As you’ll hear, ANIMAL took a rock-n-roll mix and gave it a dancehall-reggae treatment. (Shout out to Love & Logic who helped make the mix.) To celebrate this auditory achievement, we’re throwing a listening party along with hosts KNIFEHEAD and CASCOS at Ore Bar in […]

Maybe you’ve heard that Supreme’s founder James Jebbia is suing the shit out of ANIMAL pal Leah McSweeney? Leah designed a parody of Supreme’s logo almost a decade ago for her clothing line Married to the Mob. It went well. Now, she’s being sued for $10 million. Naturally, this is absurd, as Supreme is notorious for not only […]

Tomorrow night, we’re throwing a party! With DJs! And video art projections! And a burlesque performance! And dancing! You should come. G1RLZ NI†E  has amassed a great line-up of visual artists. We were going for selfie and net-based projections as a pop-up art experiment co-opting a club aesthetic… and we ended up curating a show. Oops. ・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚#GIRLZNITE FEATURED ARTISTS […]

Hosted by rock photographer […]

Remember last month, when NASA purposefully crashed two of its unmanned spacecraft into the surface of the moon at around 4,000 miles per hour? It turns out both probes, dubbed Ebb and Flow, were recording video on their final kamikaze mission, rendering the above beautiful footage of the lunar surface sailing by. But I can’t […]

“It’s not a fad… it’s a NIGHTMARE.” And it has dubstep. DUBSTEP!!!!!!! Dear Navy. Thank you very much for creating this very dramatic music video, about the dangers of said “bath salts.” It doesn’t mention any real particular specifics, but it is very ominous-like. Anyway, “bath salts.” You will eat a person’s face! Only not really. But you will freak out […]
