Lorn: Radio One Mix (host Mary Anne Hobbs)
“L.A.’s Nosaj Thing discusses his recording process and his sources of inspiration for this year’s debut LP, Drift— from radio sounds to local DIY venue the Smell— in this Yours Truly clip that splices some live footage with a sit-down interview.” — Pitchfork
“Two months ago, a video of Nosaj Thing’s visual collaboration with Julia Tsao and Adam Guzman tore across the internet blowing minds everywhere. (I watched it a few times a day at one point). After seeing it, Kenny Mac at Red Bull knew he had to act on an idea for a visual show that had been cooking in his brain for a while. Soon after - Red Bull Megahurtz was born.” — David Lang
Thanks Kenny. Awesome photos David.

Electronic music is huge and growing in popularity, but the genre places an unusual demand on the actual artist: They make their money at live shows, but how interesting can a performance by someone tapping at their laptop possibly be?

After escaping from prison in 1970, Leary found refuge in Algeria with the Panthers’ Eldridge Cleaver, who was himself on the lam for attempted murder. But rather than receiving Leary as a kindred spirit—and displeased with his drug-touting ways—Eldridge kidnapped Tim and his wife, Rosemary Woodruff…er, placed them under “revolutionary arrest.” Eldridge eventually freed the pair, but, in the clip above, you can still get a sense of their uneasy Algerian alliance.via Dangerous Minds
