  I can’t say that I’m really into their music, it’s good but not really my thing.  However, this video RULES.  Matt & Kim strip naked in NYC’s Times Square and get taken down by the cops.  The ending has a nice suprise.

  Rutu Modan

  04.18.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m a big sucker for reality-based graphic novels. While there’s nothing wrong with the opposite side of the spectrum, I just find a really simple beauty in being able to portray the subtleties in human relationship, emotions, or self conflict as your main subject. A really solid example coming from this genre is Rutu Modan’s [...]
