Sonny Gerasimowicz - Where the Wild things are character designer

Where the Wild Things Are..... opening today

Today is the day that we have all been waiting for! The opening of "Where the Wild Things Are"! I can not wait to see what Spike Jones has done with one of my favorite childhood stories. This story has a special place in our families hearts as it was a bedtime staple when our son was growing up.

Urban Outfitters experimental retail space, "Space 1520" in Los Angeles has a WTWTA Pop-Up shop this month. I think the highlight of the shop is Christian Joy's 5 one-of-a-kind costumes that are inspired by Maurice Sendak's characters in WTWTA. You might know Chirstian Joy's work if you are a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I am pretty sure that just about everything that Karen O has ever wore on stage was designed by Christian Joy. www.christianjoy.us

Speaking of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.... Karen O did an amazing job on the movie's soundtrack. You can listen to the album in full at Pitchfork. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13550-where-the-wild-things-are-ost/

Listen to the Flaming Lips New album before it is released

NPR is offering a free preview of the new Flaming Lip's album "The Sparrow Looks Up At The Machine" in it's entirety! I have been a huge Lips fan for years. I love that they are always following their own path.
The new album was assembled by taking their favorite part taken from hours and hours of jam tapes. The overall sound is very organic in nature. All of the expected elements are there, the melodic vocals, blown out gigantic drums, crazy guitar and electronic soundscapes along with a new feel to their sound. You really just need to hear it.
