SSR vid: As the Clouds Drift By

Song Sparrow Research has a new album coming out on June 8th and we made a sweet music video out to get you pumped!

Our boy, Hamilton Boyce(of SSR [first kid you see in vid]), Clay Giffin, and I worked together to tell the story of a nature documentary crew (the band) in search of an elusive beast by mixing live action and animation.

You can catch the bandcamp version of SSR’s new album in this post, and when June 8th happens, be cooler than your friends and grab the 12″ vinyl! SSR has  a couple shows coming up, so be sure to get your buns out to give some made love :)

ps :: that bass line in this track: SO GOOD

Mr. Div

Through my adventures of learning 3d modeling, I came across these sweet sweet gifs by Mr. Div, aka: Matthew DiVito.

They’re just beautiful and, as with most beautiful things, simple. You can’t help but be slightly inspired to try to make a few of your own :)

He’s a graphic designer who has an amazing interest in animation, 3d shite, and game design; he’s essentially me, slightly farther in the future, only slightly less handsom….probably.

Peep his gifs and his Cinema 4d experiments reel, then get outta here and make something awesome for yourself. You could make anything! Like a robot that has a jetpack and giant guns that only shoot out hummingbirds. Such an imballence of hummingbirds would surely disrupt the food chain and most of the birds would probably starve and die due to lack of hummingbird resources. With all those hummingbird corpses laying about, some goober would start making wallets out of their bird pelts and sell them for super cheep until things started to ballance out again.

BnB Mix VI

I know it’s been a long time since we did our last post and I wanted to break the silence with a sweet mix for our sunny sunny days ahead :)

We’ve just been super busy printing in the new studio, so you can also start looking forward to wrapping your wide peepers around a couple post on the Sasquatch posters Selena and I have printed. They’re our first prints out of the new studio and we’re very excited to show you even more!

But for now, take this mix out with you in the park for your mimosa picnic and soak in that sunshine.

*SELENA WANTS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SHE TOOK THE PIC I USED IN THE ‘COVER’ DESIGN

Stacey Rozich Interview

Presenting Stacey Rozich by BossnotBoss! Ok, so we’re not really presenting her, more like bringing her to your screen and into your room. Wow that sounds creepy, but probably not as creepy as Rozich’s art.

We are lucky enough to know this Seattle illustrator turned designer to snag this amazing bit of film to tell people what she is really all about. You may recognize her style from her recent work in the latest Fleet Foxes video, The Shrine An Argument. So watch this exclusive interview with Rozich and go to her site for more info and show her some mad love!

Suck On These Eggs

Yesterday was Easter and Selena had the genius idea to make the most BOSSEST eggs in all the land. A batch of eggs that bring tears to lords and lifts the skirts of fine maidens.

You wrap the eggs w a 100% silk tie and boil ‘em for a while. Then you unwrap ‘em and show ‘em off. That’s the BnB recipe, but our good friend, Martha Stewart, has a more detailed recipe if that wasn’t enough. We just hit up Value Village for ties and a dirty old bedsheet to wrap around the tie that’s wrapped around the egg.

We couldn’t believe the detail that was actually able to transfer to the egg; you can see the threads! Since what we were doing was so dope, we had to make 21 of the damn things. Here’s some pics of our favorites…….

ps :: You can see more pics on our facebook :)

After the Smoke

I first heard Garcus Marvey, one of the sexiest tracks of the century, and then found this yummie sound cloud playlist w a few more kick-back-yummies for your ears.

Researching After the Smoke turned up the following: they’re from Florida and dig on animated GIFs and sexy women. Going back and listening to ‘em after learning this, I can really hear those three things come through in their tracks. Oh, and they’re also in Billboard’s 2012 Battle of the Bands.

So grab that special someone (or just someone) and get heels to jesus by the window while crankin’ these tracks and make your neighbors jealous*.

*I suppose this assumes the window you’re infront of is at your place—it could be at a coffee shop, a bar, even a walgreens. Just be sure to do it w some style and, as always, put in a thrust from us :)

The Best April Wallpaper

YES!! It’s time to throw your old, crumby, outdated March BnB wallpaper in the garbage, and get a full grip of BnB’s April wallpaper to slap on all your screens! If you’d rather use if for your home, just print out a few hundred copies and staple them to yer walls; it’s a real conversation starter.

ps :: Don’t worry fella’s, this months edition is iPad3 ready :)

Spork

I feel like this flick was made just for me.

Spork is that classic tale about a girl equipped w both sets of genitals and is the school outcast until she does something awesome, except, It’s easily one of the goofiest movies I’ve ever seen.

It’s the perfect movie to kick back w a couple friends the morning after, w a gallon of mimosa each, and just take it all in*. And, if you’ve been reading along w us, you know we love Ru Paul and know that we completely flipped our weary lids when a Ru Paul track dropped in!!!!

*Mimosa is the #1, BossnotBoss approved, hair of the dog :)

Talk To Animals

Ok, guys; 8bit is a guilty pleasure of mine, but the trouble is that the good stuff is hard to come by. I can’t just search “8bit tracks that Christopher Martin loves”, I gotta manually sift through the dirt until I find a gold nugget. Once I heard DOWN, forget about it, in love w Talk To Animals.

Aimee is the lady genius who shot Talk To Animals out of Texas and into our hearts and she describes her sounds, “lo-fi punk-inspired baroque pop via 8-bit technology with the aesthetic of surf goth.” She’s also half of 1-800-zombie who I also highly recommend and who you may remember from their smash hit: That Lady Is A Bush. AAAND she’s also in this band now.

Canon AE-D

The Canon AE-D is mirrorless, beautiful, timeless with classic design, and is, like my talent for writing, imaginary. It kills me deep inside to learn that this camera isn’t real and exists only on a plane of wishlist concepts.

David Riesenberg grew restless waiting for Canon to release a camera wo a mirror and decided to lock himself away, for a month, without television, a phone, food, or water. When he emerged from his posture over CAD and sketches, a wonderful proposal was born.*

This pretend Canon is beautiful right down to the on-lens Fstop (which we’re all pining for). Where the film reel would be on a classic AE, there’s a pop-up cylindrical flash, which is mostly ugly to me, but a great way to maintain a part of that classic model which nobody has any use for anymore.

I hope soon to see this as a real thing….and hope it has 4k 120fps video I can wirelessly view on my iPad, since we’re dreaming and all.

*I have no clue of David’s conditions while working on this, but CAD was there and it was for a month
