MUSIC FOR MONDAY: Spin Laden Mixtape, Matthew Dear, Mark Knight & Funkagenda

Readers of this blog know that music on Monday is usually what we need to start the week right. A strong shot of audio caffeine to get us going.

Well, truth be told, the buzz from the past 5 days is still strong enough to do the trick. Seeing MSTRKRFT live, hanging out with Automatic Panic and DJ Cat NYC at the Famousish & Undiscovered Austin after-party, then stopping to visit family for a couple of days... Exactly what the doctor ordered. We're inspired and ready to go.

But, here's what we're listening to anyway...

Art of Fashion 2008 Video

My multimedia wrap-up to Art of Fashion is just about done. The photographs have been lined up for a pretty comprehensive slideshow that covers Art of Fashion from setup to finale, and Automatic Panic has contributed a HOT new track for the soundtrack. He's naming the track "Overrated." 

Halloween

Automatic Panic and DJ Cat NYC have party plans for Halloween that actually have me a little nervous... HaHaHa. Stay tuned, because this show will be one you won't want to miss! 

REMIX!
