Yeastculture

How to describe yeastCulture? They are Mark Silver and Nick Hillel. They make stunning music videos for the likes of Nitin Sawhney and Jamie Cullum. In fact, they came up with the live visuals currently accompanying the aforementioned jazz-Hobbit on his North American tour. They can do it off-the-cuff too, and have VJ'd for artists as varied as the Beastie Boys and Matthew Herbert, and also at the Big Chill. They'll be pulling out all the stops as part of the BBC's Electric Proms here in London later this month, when they'll be VJing for three nights. They've just come up with their new website too, where you can see loads of exquisite examples of their work and a smattering of their personal politics. That's where you'll also be able to get the Yeast Book that they're giving away for free that features their images and ideas.

That's yeastCulture. One thing they're not is lazy.

Last week Tallulah...
Charles Cumming: The 21 Steps
"The 21 Steps" is a fast-paced, finely-tuned thriller that uses Google Maps to take the reader through the story's events. Written by British purveyor of spy thrillers, Charles Cumming, the story is told through Google's information bubbles with brief statements and images that take the reader from the streets of London to Edinburgh, Scotland with plenty of action and mini-cliffhangers along the way. "The...
AnOther Magazine Spring/Summer 2008: The Insiders
We were fortunate enough to get a sneak preview of the latest edition of AnOther Magazine, which as per usual is chock full of the stunning photography and clever editorial that always makes the book our go-to resource to find out what's happening across the pond. From the stunning cover featuring Uma Thurman bedecked with a dramatic butterfly wing to an interview with cheeky YBAs...
The Heavy: Great Vengeance and Furious Fire
By happy accident I recently caught the amazing sounds of The Heavy on a BBC radio live session and almost had to stop the car for fear of crashing with the thrill of it. Incredibly rich, funky and, well, appropriately heavy music; the lead singer's voice could melt your insides. Although musical comparisons are often crass, you can't help but hear echoes of Curtis...
