Cover of Grave Robber’s Daughter [Purchase Book] I’ve loved Richard Sala‘s stuff for a really long time — even before I knew I did, when I was watching his Liquid TV shorts, “Invisible Hands”. He’s got a great visual style that’s hard…
Eric Wareheim (of Tim & Eric) just twittered about this video. The entirety of the post? “Jesus this is good”. He’s right. It is. It’s the new video for HEALTH, and was directed/edited by the band. Definitely check it out — though,…
