Photographs of Stylish Parisian Men in Their Homes and Workspaces

By Emily Temple on

Paris-based photographer Baudouin wants to get into your apartment. If, that is, you are a stylish Parisian creative (or a Parisienne, for that matter). Renowned for his work in French magazines and for advertising clients, Baudouin shoots his subjects in their personal environments, their homes or their workspaces, posed in cheeky positions around their everyday things. His work is graphically satisfying and often about as funny as a serious portrait can be, all winks and nods mixed in with a strong sense of color. Click through to see a few of our favorites of Baudouin’s portraits, and then be sure to head on over to his website to check out more of his work. … Read More

5 Albums to Stream for Free This Week: Tom Waits, Justice

By Tom Hawking on

Rejoice, because we’ve conquered our CMJ hangovers and got down to the serious business of our regular Monday roundup of albums streaming for free over the course of the coming week. And there’s a particularly exciting link to share this time around: the new Tom Waits album, Bad As Me, which is now available for your listening pleasure via NPR. Clearly, everything else that’s streaming this week is going to pale in comparison somewhat, but there’s still plenty of other goodness to be had: the new Justice album, along with upcoming releases from Florence & the Machine, and Joker. And, um, the Lou Reed/Metallica album. It’s all after the jump, so click through and get listening! … Read More

10 Albums You Need To Hear in October

By Tom Hawking on

After the bumper release schedule in September, the music industry seems to be starting its slow pre-Christmas wind-down this month — but even though there’s not quite the surfeit of quality new records that there was last month, there’s still plenty of interesting new releases in October. As we do at the start of every month, we’ve sat down and picked out the 10 albums that we’re most interested to hear over the next four weeks — and just for posterity, this doesn’t include the albums we covered last month which had their release dates sneakily pushed back (yes, Zola Jesus and Björk, we mean you). What’s on your listening schedule in October? … Read More

Kanye West, Jay-Z and Thom Yorke Celebrate Obama’s Historic Win

By Iza Wojciechowska on

Musicians like Obama: KANYE WEST and JAY-Z made a song about Obama’s win and leaked it yesterday. “WE MADE HISTORY” is supposed to appear on Jay-Z’s forthcoming album BLUEPRINT 3. THOM YORKE is also in on the post-election euphoria, remixing his 2006 “HARROWDOWN HILL” to celebrate the president-elect. As of last week, it’s been available for free download on his site, because RADIOHEAD likes to do that. [Gigwise, NME]

But they don’t like fur: Apparently BURBERRY makes more than just expensive plaid — they also make clothes using real fur. And apparently many indie rock bands don’t like this Furberry fiasco and have made their opinions known. LOS CAMPESINOS!, ART BRUT and aptly named groups like SUPER FURRY ANIMALS and THE WOMBATS are among the bands that have signed a PETA petition, and some musicians have released statements decrying the abuse of our furry friends by the label. Maybe they’ve all been watching too much Shiba Inu Puppy Cam. [NME]

Can you guess which indie band recently cried wolf? … Read More
