New York Times: Critic's Picks →
Despite the general title, A.O. Scott’s Critic’s Picks video series is a loving and honest dissection of films that you must see. Scott mixes it up, tapping most every genre and decade to bring forgotten masterpieces to the limelight. Perhaps this weekend you should head to a good video store (It sucks that you don’t have Classic Video in your town) and rent one of his picks....

Apple's New Thing (iPod) - Mac Forums →
Mac Rumours thread discussing the announcement of the first iPod. Very entertaining, complete with references to the Creative Nomad Jukebox and the then legitimate Reality Distortion Field.

As their best album, one can’t keep thinking of “Dig!” but behind that drama there is songwriting and musicianship. Also: Heroin. Take It from the Man by The Brian Jonestown Massacre tylerball loved it yea, nay, 0 comments

The New York Times' Lens →
The New York Times launched their new blog highlighting the best of their photojournalism and and the people behind it. This is long overdue, as I’ve been harking for something similar to join the ranks of the prestigious blogs on the Times website. So far it’s a bit like a more informative cousing to the ubiquitous Big Picture.

Luckily, no matter how over-produced and polished this album is, you can still hear the smirk at the side of Robinson’s mouth. Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson tylerball liked it

Wavves - Daytripping Other than the barrels of free swag and beer, this sure makes one want to take the Aphex Twin route in independent music and hide in your basement with your sanity. Is SXSW really this much of a shithole?

Tumblogs adjacent to Tumblarity
I wasn’t going to comment on this, because frankly, it won’t last long in its present form. From where I’m standing there’s been quite the backlash. However, this doesn’t surprise me. Remember when their “recommended blogs” were the same five Vimeo employees? Yeah you’re still on the same microblogging service. Anyway, here’s a condescending...

Review: Star Trek
Originally posted on tylerball.net on May 11th, 2009 It has yet to be proven that you can ‘reboot a franchise’ and completely impress Tyler Ball. Star Trek was very visually satisfying, and I applaud the art directors for making it look slick and the editors for keeping the flow. So why is it that only those who twiddle knobs and draw things the only ones still showing up with talent in the...

Oh, By The Way
I redesigned rebuilt my non-blog portfolio site and also blog (for longer, more proofread things than this, obviously): the tylerball.net to better suit my needs. Indexhibit, simple and streamlined, was a total pain in the ass for syndication and anything other than images with a single line caption. This one is Textpattern, mostly on the recommendation of these chaps and that one of my favourite...

A People in Despair: Haiti's year without mercy →
Incredibly moving slideshow from photographer Patrick Farrell on his photographic coverage during the aftermath of Hurrican Ike and other storms in Haiti. Every once and a while I see a piece like that this that reminds me of the power of the photograph.
