The idea behind shadow graffiti is really quite simple. First, you find an item or object that casts a clear, Morfai Statue Shadow Graffiti Seeder Lithuaniadiscernible shadow onto a wall or the pavement. Then, you tag the hell out of that area with something totally unique. Finally, you wait for people to take notice. In these pictures we see a piece entitled “Seeder” created by graffiti artist Morfąi in Kaunas, Lithuania. When viewed in the proper conditions at night, it looks as if the statue is planting stars and crescent moons as seeds. Check out the brainstorming video below.

In the trailer for the new Coen brothers dark-comedy, Burn After Reading, the song Grounds for Divorce by Elbow BandElbow is wholeheartedly featured throughout. When I first saw the Burn After Reading trailer, this track stuck in my head immediately. There’s no denying that it’s a great, catchy song. That’s presumably the reason why the Coen brothers decided to go with this song in the first place. As for Elbow, in case you didn’t know, they’ve been playing together for over 18 years. An interesting fact about these guys is how they were named from dialogue in the BBC TV show The Singing Detective. In that show, the characters said that “elbow” was the most sensual word in the English language, not because of its definition, but because of how it feels to say it. Right. Check out sweet the music video.

Well, what do you know…it’s Monday already. Time seems to move so fast. This week in the Mixtape Mondays ratatatsegment, we have some Ratatat for you guys. More specifically, we have the Ratatat Remixes Volume I. Like the mixtapes prior, this mixtape is nothing new. It came out nearly four years ago, but it’s still great to blast. Ratatat’s sound incorperates electronic influences and is comprised of heavy beats using the synth and organ. Hailing from New York City, Ratatat is comprised of guitarist Mike Stroud and synthesizer driver and producer Evan Mast. They were made famous with the release of their hit singles Seventeen Years and Germany to Germany. Seventeen Years has since been featured in a Hummer Commercial and the movie Cloverfield, among other things. On Ratatat Remixes Volume I, the duo integrates electronica into 14 hip hop tracks, including Kanye West’s Get Em High, G-Unit’s Stunt 101, and Raekwon’s Smith Bros. This is one mixtape album you must download.

Bansky, the legendary street graffiti artist, has struck again. This time, it’s west of the Atlantic ocean. Banksy’s unmistakable methodology and style has been sighted in New Orleans, as well as rural Alabama. His New Orleans pieces surfaced last week, while his hanging Ku Klux Klan member piece was sighted just a few days ago. His Ku Klux Klan piece was just taken down earlier today. What a shame. Pics after the jump.

This is probably one of the most interesting ideas that I’ve seen in a short while. Basically, a man by the name of Robbie snapped over3 Days - 3,038 Photos 3,000 pictures on his Canon 5D SLR of his life in Boston over 3 days. This includes his rides on the T, visits work and school, etc. After that was all done, he converted the pictures into a short film by playing them rapidly in the order they were taken. This is what he got. The music is “Dry Lips” by Lightspeed Champion.

This is one of my favorite mixtapes of all time. Originally released in 2006, Lil Weezyana is a classic,Lil Weezyana Mixtape Vol I must-have mixtape that everyone needs to listen to. As usual, Lil Wayne has intense lyrics and an unmistakable flow on every single track. My favorite songs on the mixtape are David Banner (track 3), I Like Dat (track 12), and Pimp C (track 17). On Downtown (track 20) Lil Weezy mixes it up with 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton. It makes for an awesome clash. Check it out.
