Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar (Teaser) from What Matters Most on Vimeo.

Here’s a peek into the latest video from Aloe Blacc’s new single “I Need A Dollar,” featuring music from Leon Michels and the Truth & Soul family, out now on Stones Throw Records. This is a quick video teaser the team put together from some out takes and additional footage from the shoot a few weeks back in Harlem. We just happened to have caught a small blizzard in New York during the trip, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as the fresh snow provided some fantastic scenery that complemented the overall aesthetic of the song quite nicely.

Aloe Blacc’s single appears as the theme song on the new HBO show “How To Make It In America,” starring Luis Guzman and Kid Cudi.

Directed by Kahlil Joseph with support from DP Matthew J. Lloyd and Danny Song, produced by What Matters Most and Funk Factory Films.

Official video coming soon!

I heard a lot of hype regarding Lady Gaga’s Telephone video with Beyoncé for a while now but never bothered to go look up the video myself. Well, last night I had the pleasure of being shown this video for the first time, and quite frankly I’m still not sure if I’ve recovered. I had what could best be described as something in between a seizure and whiplash.
I’ll say this much, Lady Gaga has mastered visual rape to perfection. I don’t really even have any concrete criticism on the video itself because I don’t even think I have the brain power to know where the hell to begin. I’m really seeing the correlation between women’s prisons and dance floors though, obviously uncanny.
Quote of the night, “Beyoncé, you’re better than that.”
Oh and last thought, bastardized Quentin Tarantino mash-up?

Before there was such gadgetry as fishing poles, reels, lures and hooks, people were fishing the old fashioned way: with their bare hands. One of the oldest forms of fishing is “noodling” also known as “grabbling.” Anglers wade through rivers and lakes, patrolling pockets of water looking for spawning fish that would be sitting atop sacks of eggs. While these fish lay motionless, protecting their young fry, the fish are quick to bite and defend their babies from anything that may come within harms way. These fishermen search for these fish holes often with their fist, anticipating a catfish to strike, so they could then latch onto their gills and pull the fish up from the hole.

Innovator and angling pioneer Richard Simms has captured more than 30 Southern belles that tussle with these finned felines for over 90 minutes on this DVD. Peep a quick behind the scenes of some of the hunt after the jump.
