Karen O the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s recorded the entirety of WTWTA’s soundtrack with help from some young fresh voices, “The Kids”.
I really love the spirit and vibe of this Soundtrack. It has a very earthy, energetic and wild sound to it. And let’s not forget the talented Karen O’s lovely voice, who I’m a sucker for. I LOVE HER!
This album makes me want to run outdoors and just let myself go and be free. I’m excited to see what visuals will compliment these great songs. We’ll see what Director Spike Jonze has in store for us on Friday Oct 16th, when the movie is set to come out.
I’ve listened to the soundtrack quite a few times already and I have some favorites. Capsize, Worried Shoes, Hideaway, Cliffs, Animal and Lost Fur. I can see this becoming a favorite album for both adults and kids of all ages.
Check out Vice’s WTWTA website where you can stream the entire album, as well check out artwork from 24 different regular contributing artists inspired by the story, interviews and behind the scenes.
Where The Wild Things Are is a 1963 children’s picture book by American writer Maurice Sendak. Although just ten sentences long, the book is generally regarded as a masterpiece of American illustrated childrens literature.
Here’s a video of the story.
Check out this video with author Maurice Sendak and Spike Jonze talking about the movie.
Japanese toy company Medicom Toy has produced a commemorative set of Kubricks.
The set includes eight figures from the book Including characters: the protagonist, Max and The Wild Things, which are scheduled for release this month. All eight toys, along with a special 12″ Max RAH (Real Action Hero) Doll are now available for order through select Medicom retailers.

A few remixes or redos have been keeping my player busy.
.
The first one is an alternate version to School of Seven Bells’ Imundernodisguise. This unsynthed-version puts much more weight on the spooky chorale of the Deheza-twins. To me, this version is much more fascinating than the record’s version.

.
The second is another elegant Memory Tapes remix. This time for Fool’s Gold’s Nadine. On the recently released album, the track has a lot more of the afropop alure the band is associated with. After Dayve Hawk had his go, the track is a much more reduced, yet dancier piece.

Carlos Enriquez-Gonzalez’ sculpture “Magic Vagina” stands at eight and one half feet tall. It embodies the idea of the vagina as the giver of life—a symbolic portal through which we go from one world to another.
His sculpture, “Magical Vagina” as well as the three smaller (approx. 14″) sculptures (in fiberglass) will be on sale on Oct 3rd in Phillips upcoming Latin American auction, that will feature contemporary works of art which are inspired by, reflect on and embody the spirit of the region and culture of Latin America.
Carlos creates exciting works that blur the boundaries between the fantasy of comics and high art. The artist uses symbols that reflect his own intimate world such as mushrooms, eyes, monsters, brains, sacred elements and sexual organs which blend his concerns with energy, power, intuition and multidimensionality.
I remember the first time I saw sexual organs morph into different shapes. I was 8yrs old watching Pink Floyd’s movie “The Wall” with my dad. I didn’t quite understand what was going on in the movie, but I did find the animation to be very cool and scary.
The film contains fifteen minutes of elaborate animation sequences by the political cartoonist and illustrator Gerald Scarfe.
Here’s Pink Floyd’s video “Empty Spaces” .
