Music Goodness


It's no secret that Thom Yorke has been treading through the various beat scenes. He's posted a ton of killer playlists on the Radiohead blog, made multiple appearances at LA's Low End Theory and even put out a 12" with Burial and Fourtet. The upcoming Radiohead remix album, TKOL RMX 1234567, feels like an inevitable culmination of these events. I'm looking forward to hearing the SBTRKT remix of Lotus Flower, but this Thriller Houseghost one is my favorite so far:


Normally I'd link another track but last week Fourtet, Jamie xx, and James Murphy all dropped mixes and there's gotta be at least four hours of hand picked listening that I'd much rather recommend:




There's a preview of Jamie xx's remix of Bloom on that mix as well as enough house, disco, and post dubstep / UK funky to keep even a vicious Monday at bay.

Reader Submission of the Week: TEK Jones (Seattle)




























Today's Reader Submission of the Week comes from Seattle by an artist who goes by the name of TEK Jones, who has a sizable portfolio of flyer designs for what looks like pretty heavy-hitting club parties.  Not too many flyer designers can get away with using weird fonts or customizing their own typography, but TEK Jones has the ability to pull it off, as you can really tell in the first flyer.

If you'd like to be featured as our reader submission of the week, drop us an email at flyergoodness@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself.  We welcome all sorts of art submissions and design styles, so share some of your flyers, posters, art prints or album covers.

Parody Poster by Christopher Dombres



In 1971, a 24-year-old graduate of London's Royal College of Art name John Pasche designed the famous Rolling Stones logo after two weeks, citing his inspiration as Mick's appearance and his picture of Kali, the Hindu goddess.

While a lot of the posters here are designed by many hands, John Pasche is still credited to a huge body of work for the Rolling Stones and definitely made a very iconic logo for the time, that has aged very well.

Surrealistic Design by Kilian Eng

























Just came across the fine works of Kilian Eng while doing my morning rounds of music blog checks.  Kilian Eng is a graphic designer based in Stockholm, Sweden with some real talent for producing futuristic and peculiar visuals.  He's definitely got an old school vibe with his pieces making use of attractive colorways and grainy compositions.
