Stones Throw is proud to announce the production of an independent documentary “Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton (This Is Stones Throw Records)” by filmmaker, Jeff Broadway of Gatling Pictures. Drawing on live concert footage, never-before-seen archival material and in-depth interviews “Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton” will follow label founder and DJ/Producer, Peanut Butter Wolf and explore the various left-of-center artists, history, culture and global following.
There is a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the production of the documentary with some limited edition goodies as thank you gifts in return for one’s support. The goal is $35,000 which will cover production trips, shoots and edits of the film. The duration of the campaign is 45 days and will conclude at the end of November.
You can donate and make this documentary a reality …

From Brooklyn Street Art, “as the planes spelled out #DefendTheArts over Manhattan, Saber explained to BSA in a phone interview, “Basically I’m calling out Mitt and any other politicians who are cutting arts funding because they are actually cutting jobs that are an engine to our economy. Not to mention the effect these programs have on creativity and inspiration.” One dot-matrix style message said “Protect NPR PBS NEA from cuts” while another offered the Twitter hashtag simply entitled ‘#MittRomneyHatesArt’.”
I support that.

Yes, I can’t remember the last time I heard someone use the word “BLING” (aside from those wannabe 11 year old rappers at the Cambridge Mall) but forget the aliens – forget finding another sustainable planet – the next space mission should be to this new planet covered in diamonds.
As NPR reports,”New research that will published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters details a planet that is eight times heavier than Earth and with twice its radius. But instead of being covered in water and granite, it is encrusted in graphite and diamond.”

Since 2009, The Bold Italic has been celebrating local creativity in San Francisco. Between their online magazine, print publications, events, and pop-up shop, The Bold Italic focuses on covering and collaborating with the artists, writers, local businesses, and organizations who make them excited to be living in the Bay Area. The idea is to showcase what they’re excited about in San Francisco outside their borders and to show people back home what like-minded locals are enthusiastic about.
