New, old Van Halen
The original Van Halen broke up when I was a senior in high school. And yes, I am an old fan of David Lee Roth, read about it here.
And the reunion no one thought would happen happened and the album no one thought would happen was released yesterday. 28 year wait. The sound harkens back (harkens is the word) to Van Halen I and II – apparently the tracks are based on notes written back around 1975–77ish.
The sound is old – with parts feeling like an odd 1990s solo album Dave put out. Album cover design by SMOG, art directed by Jeri Heiden.
New track: Tattoo, with Dave explaining it here
You Really Got Me acoustic
And an update: Dave’s been posting new videos on Vimeo all week. Love the ‘recreational director’ discourse and this one about his dogs.
Varvatos, Green Day
‘The ads were inspired by Philippe Petit’s 1974 ‘Man on Wire’ act – an illegal tightrope traverse between the Twin Towers – as well as Charles C. Ebbets’ classic 1932 photograph, ‘Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam.”
Green Day – art directed by Yard and photographed by Danny Clinch for (Howard Stern’s favorite designer) John Varvatos, Spring/Summer 2012.
