Nike's latest outreach to action sports aficionados comes in the form of take-home video, slow motion shots, and the elements. In conjunction with the marketing agency Nemo Design and director Jared Eberhardt, Slow-Mo spots captured surfers Dusty Payne and Casey Brown's faces at 1,000 frames per second as they were hit with waves. The corresponding Nike 6.0 Facebook app, Splashcast, has just debuted at the AST Dew Tour in Portland. Now snowboarders, BMXers, and wakeboarders alike can upload videos of themselves being hit with slow moving precipitation. Current Slow-Mo booth stops are Orlando and Breckenridge, but the daily footage is wherever you’re at.

If the long, striking faces created for the stop-motion film Coraline have you pining for more handmade figures, the work of Sarah Faber (AKA Black-eyed Suzie) may be up your alley. The Montreal-based artist's wide-eyed dolls are beautifully displayed in a recent Etsy Handmade Portraits series video by Tara Young. Faber describes being influenced by Gothic novels and Victorian and Elizabethan costumes. But, lest you think it's all child's play, the dolls include some darker elements and are said to look as though they've “had a few too many Scotchs and tardy makeup.” A perfect way to cater to the tattered goth in you.

The great thing about hip-hop being a young genre is that the greats are still alive, and in some cases, still dropping records. Grandmaster Flash, the man behind The Message, brings us a his latest offering, The Bridge. Budding with artists that he influenced (and some who stood alongside him in the hey day of hip-hop), Q-Tip, Busta, Snoop Dogg, and freestlye master Supernatural all contribute verses, as well as old school pioneer KRS 1. Thankfully, Flash himself hasn’t succumbed to the slapdash, easy-make sound that popular hip-hop continuously descends into.

Liam Howlett, the brain behind the big beat sound of The Prodigy, has been manning the production since the beginning. The cast of characters he surrounds himself with (including Keith Flint and his famous haircut) have been out of the picture since 1997’s Fat of the Land, the record that made them kings of the electronic music movement. 2004’s long awaited Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned had all the studio prowess of their sound, but something was missing. Tomorrow, after a long 12 years, The Prodigy drops another record that features the entire original crew. The first taste of Invaders Must Die left us shaking.
