We love the original Tron. We love the way this new Tron looks. We love the fact that it will be available in 3D. We love Jeff Bridges.

AND

We LOVE the sound of this new Daft Punk score.

This is worth a watch.

Release date: Dec. 17, 2010

Why were we not invited?

Three months after the original video, Kid Cudi releases some new visuals for Pursuit of Happiness. The first video was of Cudi and friends partying for a few minutes to the track, while the new release sits on the opposite end of the creative spectrum. The new video takes you on the confusing loops and the crazy costumes we face while in pursuit. We’re loving it.

You can check the original video ahead and let us know which one you’re feeling more.

Here’s a great video from Oliver Peoples for their 2010 Campaign featuring their coming eyewear collection. The eccentric video stars Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson are featured as an odd couple sporting exceptional eyewear at their estate.

“Les enfants sennuienet le dimance” (The children are bored on Sundays) has great shots from Autumn de Wilde reminiscent of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. Simply an exceptional video full of exceptional eye-wear.

The Drums are great and they just released an equally great video for their new single “Best Friend”. It is minimal and yet still heavily designed which matches very well with our own aesthetic. “Best Friend” is the first single off The Drums upcoming debut on Moshi Moshi, out at the end of the month.

I’m also happy to see someone dances exactly like me.

BONUS: I recently watched the movie Control (a beautifully shot movie about the band Joy Division) after receiving a recommendation from my friend Krysta (of ANDHOW! fame). I quickly learned that Ian Curtis (the lead singer) is also an amazing dancer. Check the video below for proof.

What do you get when you mix spray painted wooden blocks, black lights, stop-motion photography, and meticulously stitching 4085 photos together? A word of caution: Mind melting may occur. Visual Artist Rogier van der Zwaag acts as creative eye for the band Nobody Beats The Drum, and was given the task to create the video for their song Grindin’. Take a deep breath and enjoy.

Here’s an interview with Jon Buscemi who makes up one third of footwear brand Gourmet. It’s an interesting video into the brand and their design approach. Beyond the excellent shoes, we’re happy to see three young dudes succeeding in what they love. The video was produced for A Number of Names & well-known store Hanon.

The full episode of MTV Diary featuring N.E.R.D. is out. It’s an entertaining twenty minutes if you’re a fan of the band. It covers some interesting things like the origin of their name, their super high energy sets and what to do on stage when somebody drops a stink bomb. It’s worth a check and if nothing else, Pharrell’s humility and passion may just rub off on you. Video ahead.

Kid Cudi was put on the remix of Dan Black’s Symphonies last month and now there’s a bonkers video to accompany the track. The video looks like a brainstorm session that manifested. Ten different styles of video are run back to back on the track to leave you visually stimulated and entertained. Outer space, explosions, cartoons, cobras, stallions, martial arts, stop animation and more.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

In an ongoing mission to be the most mind-blowing organization in the world, NASA gives us a glimpse into their development of Robonaut. Robonaut’s a humanoid space robot that’s being created to assist astronauts while their doing work in the elements and pressure of outer space.

Robonaut is being refined for better use with tools to assist astronauts through remote control. Beyond that, one day they just may be Earth’s ambassadors traveling beyond where humans can get to.

More pictures and a video ahead.
