Catching up with Adam Maeroff…

A Stranger in

Pennsylvania

Adam Maeroff was born in America.
He had what you'd call a fairly rough
childhood and adolescence during
which time he became interested in Graffiti,
spent a short time in the Marines and
decided to move to Israel.
Once there, he became a citizen,
worked at various jobs, served in
the military and most importantly, he painted.
Now back in America, with an Indian-Israeli wife, Maeroff reconstructs his memories of far-away places in painterly terms.

Film as revolution

The Woodstock Film Festival awards ceremony reflects a heightened political sensitivity

The Festival terms itself "fiercely independent," one of its most popular awards is the Maverick, and the times being what they are, the tenor of the awards ceremony Saturday, October 4, was fiercely political with references to a variety of mavericks, honorary, honorable and...well, we know about that other one. Nearly all the honorees mentioned Barack Obama and the event's Maverick Award winner Kevin Smith brought it home when he bounded onstage and shouted "Boycott CVS!" MC Ron Nsywaner, screenwriter (Philadelphia, The Painted Veil, Soldier's Girl) and Woodstock resident, quipped that Smith is now "qualified to be a heartbeat away from being the leader of the free world."

TVOTR's Tunde Adebimpe covers Neil Young

"…and here's TV On The Radio's singer Tunde Adebimpe covering Neil Young's "Unknown Legend." Tunde's cover comes from Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married, which stars a smiling Adebimpe. The spare, lonesome take on the Harvest Moon song's less cheerful, running in sharp contrast to the more mile-a-minute energy of TV On The Radio's current Dear Science focus "Dancing Choose." Pretty stuff."

In Praise of the Hype Machine

Thrills and irritation about NYC’s music scene

"Most bands—even those with actual records and fans and local radio play and whatnot—seem resigned to (or find far more preferable) mere local fame, with no big tours, no Internet-ether buzz, no Making It Big. Which is, of course, in some ways, preferable to the insanity, the vapidity, the fickle schizophrenia of the hype machine, a deranged monolith that can declare the Black Kids sex on toast one week and an affront to all mankind the next." — Rob Harvilla

"Soaked in the sponge of hip-hop visual culture"

Brent Rollins is a one-man design explosion. He’s also a core member of the Ego Trip collective who have been responsible for publishing Ego Trip magazine, The Book of Rap Lists and The Big Book of Racism. He designed the logo for the movie Boyz In the Hood, and album covers for Black Star and Spank Rock just to name a few. You name it, he’s done it, and with such deft and style that his handiwork is soaked in the sponge of hip-hop visual culture.

The return of Muxtape

On September 25, Muxtape founder Justin Ouellette announced that he'll be relaunching the streaming playlist site as a alternative to MySpace Music, using the simple flash player he created for Muxtape 1.0. But we now know Muxtape will never go back to giving people a dead-simple way to create playlists online and share them with friends, a bummer for a surprising number of people.
