Cool Hunting
The Rumor Mill, an audio production company, recently released The Rumor Mill's Christmas on Clinton St. The album features the usual holiday standards, though they are sung under the "dark and stormy" influence of a potentially globally-warmed planet.
Produced by J. Ralph and Arthur Pingrey, the album features up and coming artists like Megan Wyler (she's the voice behind the Johnny Cash cover of "Walk the Line" featured in this Levi's commercial), Leah Siegel, Nicole Renaud, Baptiste Ibar and CH fave Angela McCluskey among others.
The "Frosty the Snowman" video is a stop action animation short directed by Sean Donnelly and Abbey Luck, and is accompanied by Angela's chilling rendition of the song (check out her 2004 album "The Things We Do" for more of her one-of-a-kind voice and style).
A percentage of profits from The Rumor Mill's Christmas on Clinton St., which is available exclusively on iTunes, benefit StopGlobalWarming.org.
And to top it off, the album is carbon neutral; emissions were offset by purchasing credits at Native Energy.

Back in March 2008, aniBoom, the online home of animation, teamed up with Radiohead's TBD Records for a contest inviting fans and animators to create a video for any of the songs from the band's wildly successful album, In Rainbows. From over 1,000 storyboard submissions, roughly 200 clips were produced and whittled down to 15 semi-finalists. Thom Yorke was quoted on w.a.s.t.e. saying, "......
Author Bill McKibben, whose 1989 book "The End of Nature" was one of the first to warn us of the threats of climate change, has helped launch a 90-second animation that's put the spotlight of where we need to be if human civilization is going to survive. Once upon a time, before industrialization, before coal-fired power plants spewed carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that's...
For years, Ghostly International, the indie juggernaut of Avant-Pop music, has been redefining the record industry with innovative collaborations and a brand awareness that puts most labels to shame. On 21 April, the fruits of their latest collaborative efforts paid off in the release of "Ghostly Swim", a 19-song compilation made exclusively for Adult Swim and available for free download. The kicker? Ghostly mascots...
Around the time of Lennon's 1969 "bed-in" phase a 14 year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room for a little chat. Thirty-five years later Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative of this event by marrying the traditional pen sketches of James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina in a spell-binding animated short, showcasing Lennon's boundless wit...
Drummers, those guys sitting in the back of the stage behind a wall of cymbals and amplifiers, often complain about being overlooked, and they usually have a point. Add an extravagant lead singer with a penchant for causing havoc on stage into the mix, and you’re likely to feel downright invisible. But that doesn’t bother Brian Chase, drummer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who's...
