Eeek! Big fat thanks to Nami for putting a little shell named Marcel on the Lo's List's radar! This stop-motion animation (by Dean Fleischer-Camp and SNLer Jenny Slate) is a cornucopia of quotidian wisdoms and life questions. http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-marcel-the-shell/feed/ 2 http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/#comments Thu, 21 Oct 2010 23:41:06 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9433

It was at the local ice skating rink where I first battled Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. I would feed the game's coin slot with a bottomless pocket of quarters while destroying my pearly whites with Mike and Ikes and Hot Tamales. http://www.los-list.com/blog/papercuts-moleskine-pac-man/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/beatbox-the-japanese-popstars/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/beatbox-the-japanese-popstars/#comments Wed, 06 Oct 2010 22:37:48 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8806

What a kick-ass and creepy new video from totally-not-Japanese band, The Japanese Popstars!! The trio — Decky Hedrock, Gary Curran, and Gareth Donoghue — hail from Northern Ireland and have gathered a near-cultish following of fans in the few years since they began their musical collaboration. This latest video, for the track Lets Go off the Destroy EP, is illustrated by upcoming T-Shirt Tuesday-er... http://www.los-list.com/blog/beatbox-the-japanese-popstars/feed/ 9 http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:55:28 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7999

One of our hands-down favorite crews bombing the walls of Tel Aviv is the Haifa-based Broken Fingaz Crew. The 10-year-strong foursome (Tant, Unga, Dezo, and Kip) have a hypnotizing and intricate style which recalls 1960's psychedelic posters, old school American comics, and B-rated horror flick poster typography... http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/feed/ 25 http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-mary-and-max/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-mary-and-max/#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:43:34 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7137

"Unfortunately in America, babies are not found in cola cans. I asked my mother when I was four and she said they came from eggs laid by rabbis. If you aren't Jewish, they're laid by Catholic nuns. If you are an atheist, they're laid by dirty, lonely prostitutes. So this is where babies come from in America." http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-mary-and-max/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/#comments Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:00:14 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7027

Last night I dreamed I was at the finals. I was dressed in full Oranje regalia with a cheese wedge hat. With an hour to go before the finals, nerves at all three Martin-Verhoeven camps are high and I keep getting random bouts of the goosebumps. I've been practicing my Roger Milla-inspired goal dance (with the hopes that I will be calling upon it at least once this afternoon) and am so hopped up on coffee I can't quite complete a sentence. The final day of the cup is here and, although I clearly want my Dutch peeps to come out on top, it's just a thrill to watch them fight for the chance. http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-gola-mondo/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-gola-mondo/#comments Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:21:45 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6576

The World Cup gets plenty loud (thank you, vuvuzelas) without the usual crop of blaring, testosterone-driven, slow-motion mashups that clog the half-time advertising slots, so we at Lo’s List were delighted to discover PepperMelon’s new ad for The Observer and The Guardian. The cleverly designed characters skittering around on their tiny legs, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, capture all of the gentle, obnoxious joy that we feel every four years when the Beautiful Game takes over our lives.

Angry Birds by Rovio is available for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Verizon Droid, Blackberry & more!

Although I try to delegate most of my iPadding to productive tinkering like to-do lists (Taksa), concept sketches (Adobe Ideas), blogging (WordPress), proposals (Pages), and keeping up with the times (NPR, BBC News, TIME Magazine, Paris Match...), it's hard to resist the smattering of impeccably designed gaming apps available on my new favorite gadget... http://www.los-list.com/blog/geekology-angry-birds/feed/ 1255 http://www.los-list.com/blog/beatbox-renaud-hallee/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/beatbox-renaud-hallee/#comments Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:53:29 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=5559

I'm just loving Gravité, a visually breathtaking spin on beatboxing by Renaud Hallée (with the help of DP Simon Allard & PA Laurent-Dominic Chantal-Fortin). Ping pong balls, cutlery, glow sticks and sparklers — just goes to show that pretty much anything can be transformed into music!! Remember when you were a kid smashing the bejeezus out of the kitchen pots? Well, this seems to be the grownup rendition of that... Be sure to check out Renaud's other music-in-motion video Sonar as well!

Argh! It's been so busy here at the EP studio lately ( & exciting: we have a new addition to the team — badass, go-getting, design sidekick Nicky). But, with all this busy-beeing, poor Lo's List has been getting the short end of the stick! So, while we keep trucking forth on these exciting new projects (rolling out this month!), we'll be throwing a bunch of haiku-ed posts into the mix!! http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-vanishing-point/feed/ 5
