TA2:: TIFF

They say there are only seven basic plot lines in the realm of storytelling, and every movie we see, book we hear or story re-told is a variation of these seven prime plots. This has always posed an interesting predicament for screenwriters and filmmakers - how do you make something original when it's been done 300 times before?

Cue RBC's campaign for TIFF 2010. Copywriter Chris Joakim and Art Director Mike Donaghey of BBDO Toronto took three basic & overdone plotlines, twisting them into a hilarity of re-telling goodness. Encouraging the creative innovation of the works in TIFF, the campaign is based on seeing something absolutely original. Music & sound design by Tattoo Sound + Music.

In The Studio with Steve Gadsden: Michael Kulas

Michael Kulas, former lead singer of UK band James, will be coming through the studio in the next couple weeks recording his new solo work with Tattoo's mastermind Steve Gadsden. Everyone is looking forward to what magic this collaboration will bring.

Music: Reporter

Reporter are a three piece from Portland, Oregon doing what I am really happy to describe as Goth Disco. I'm sure comparisons can easily be drawn from Crystal Castles latest album. But these guys don't seem like they'd spit in your face...and I like that.

Stream their entire album here:
