CUTEST EVER!

And I think it goes to show that there is some good in the world!

The Tweenbot is a cardboard-bodied, human-dependent robot that navigates the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Tweenbot has equipped with a flag stating its intended destination, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal. Kacie Kinzer, the student of Tisch School of the Arts created the tweenbot for his art experiment.

Given their extreme vulnerability, the vastness of city space, the dangers posed by traffic, suspicion of terrorism, and the possibility that no one would be interested in helping a lost little robot...

The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the right direction , if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can;t go that way, it's toward the road."

SHEPARD FAIREY x BAD BRAINS

SIIIIIICKK!

The 18 x 24 print sold out as fast as it went on sale…obviously.

From Fairey:

Bad Brains are one of my favorite punk/hardcore groups of all time. If you don’t have their self titled debut, “Rock For Light”, “I Agaist I”, or “Quickness”, they are all essential.

NEW GREEN DAY SONG PERFORMED LIVE

It doesn't really sound like anything new or revolutionary, but FUCK I've missed them!

xKINGDOMx BLOG

"During one of the opening bands I saw a kid beat his own chest. It was during a lull in his mosh routine. And not done in like a "I'm feeling this beat" sort of way, or a single pound like us east coasters are prone to doing, but like, straight up ape. I couldn't even LOL, I was so depressed."

KINGDOM are a fairly awesome band from the US (on Eulogy) and I'm really enjoying their new album (The Rage That Guides) and their blog.

The blog is especially cool. They go into a fair amount of detail of what it's like to be on tour and some of the people they've met and shenanigans they get up to. I've spent the whole morning reading it instead of preparing for an interview I have to do tomorrow or applying for jobs, but hey, at least I'm entertained!

ASTRO BOY

Seeing that really cool poster had me psyched for this re-done version of this CLASSIC from my childhood. Then I saw the trailer below and I'm now of two minds. I'm just not sure about it, to be honest. It's very .... clean I guess is the word that I'm looking for?

Anyway, check out the video below and decide for yourself.
