There’s really not much to say, except that I’m beyond excited to see what the dudes will come up with for this new season of Human Giant. What kind of crazy shit could they possibly do? What limits could they push? Thank the heavens that MTV has realized how amazing this show is, and pretty much lets them do what they want (which is usually insane). The clip below leaked a few weeks ago, and is just a taste of what you can expect from the new season. Check it:

The phenomena that Apple has created with the iPod continues to spread in its many forms, as it finds its way into the homes, studios, and pockets of technology freaks, and us simple ones looking for a way to have our music 24/7.
Anyone who has dropped their slick device down the stairs or in the street, knows a little protection can go a long way. Tinbot is bringing some artistic expression to the iPod case by combining fresh artists, a chic tin design, and a neoprene lining. Featuring artists like Jock, Mad, Sket One, Christopher Lee, and 7Sleepr, my favorite case is coming from the well-known Parra who is also a co-owner of the clothing line Rockwell.

Check out the site and grab one that tickles your iPod fancy before they sale out like the first generation of Tinbot cases. $30 a pop. For the artist who wants to do it themselves, they offer custom packages that will be available on their site soon.

Thanks to PAN for bringin’ this new video to my attention… “It Girl” & TRACE lovely Zoe Kravitz stars in Jay-Z’s new video for the track “I Know” featuring Pharrel. Pretty slick video production following the trend of mini-films that focus on a character instead of the artist themselves (think Kanye’s new vid for Flashing Lights, Common’s vid for I Want You). This is a fresh way of getting the music out there without the same video reproducing itself over and over again - I mean how many times have we seen the cars, the girls and the clothes? So it’s nice to see heavyweights taking on these little narratives, giving their songs more power visually, and giving up-and-coming actors a chance to flex their chops, at least a little.
