Good morning.

Some really nice photos of, you guessed it, Graceland.
Spent the morning leafing through the ridiculously fancy (read: I can’t afford this stuff), gorgeously designed Monocle Mediterraneo. These cards are by a Berlin-based design studio/print shop called Haferkorn & Sauerbrey, the principals of which are interviewed in the paper. Really nice-looking. For those in San Francisco, you can find Monocle Mediterraneo at the wonderful Fog City News.
Reporter “Click Shaw (Runaway Remix)” (via RCRD LBL)
Holocene Music is the record label me and my buddy Scott started a while ago, and we just put out the awesome second album by Portland synth-disco trio Reporter. This remix by nu-york nu-disco kings Runaway is super smooth, and so is the Miracles Club remix here. You can stream the whole album here, and buy it too. The vinyl is DOUBLE VINYL, designed by the very talented Scott Ponik. So much goodness!
Blitzen Trapper - “Jericho” (via cadamole)
And speaking of unofficial videos, here’s a cool little fan-made video/cover for Blitzen Trapper’s “Jericho.” I really like the songflute, and the slapping the backs of guitars for percussion. Waking up to stuff like this is when I love the internet.
Here’s a really lovely unofficial music video for Animal Collective’s “Lion in a Coma” by Israeli animation student Ori Toor. Love all the colors and creativity going on here. (via Cartoon Brew)

Redinho “Pitter Patter” (buy me)
The clips I’ve heard from the rest of this EP sound a little bit too neon 8-bit for me, but man, how pretty is this song? Reminds me of my favorite melancholy 90’s-IDM-but-really-almost-trance-if-you-think-about-it jam Forcasa 3 by Bola.
And while I’m linking there, I’d like to state for the record that I really love Remote Location’s design for the Numbers site. Definitely one of the best label sites I’ve seen, and matches the Numbers vibe/art direction perfectly.

This month’s Monograph features Matt Siber’s Floating Logos project – which comprises dozens of images of logos on various photographed signage but with all the supporting structures “removed” in Photoshop.
Radarmatic is a weather radar visualizer. It uses HTML5 and its own API to draw radar images with live data from the National Weather Service.
The white dots on the map represent 155 radar sites across the US. As you drag it around, the radar closest to the center of the map will light up with its most recent data. The colored areas show where precipitation is occurring at varying levels of intensity. Pushing play will animate the last few hours.
