Adios LA is a visual goodbye to the city Jon Jackson has called home for years as the artist heads east making New York his new home.

House Industries Trailer →
drawnblog:
This gorgeous video (sorry, it’s not embeddable) about House Industries is pure typographic pornography. It has everything from graphite calligraphy to brush and ink to pinstriping with One-Shot, plus all of their gorgeous consumer products like blocks, art objects, and more. The sound track is pretty awesome too. Enjoy.
(bonus: Drawn!’s logo was made by House Industries’ own Chris...

Just something random about typefaces
Helvetica/Rail Alphabet:
I observed UK train station signs are written in something that looks a lot like Helvetica, apparently it is called Rail Alphabet :)
Cooper Black:
This one is becoming ubiquitous (or maybe I only just realised that it is everywhere). Whenever I see it I think “Oh, the Black Keys”, but sometimes it may also be a Kooples advert, or, as a pleasant surprise, a...

A very nice song by Computer Magic, who’s DJing live tonight in NYC, see below.
Another one by her that I really liked, very catchy melody: Everyone feels that way sometimes.

From Alain de Botton’s How Proust Can Change Your Life:
