THE DAILY MOJO by Adam Daniel

I don’t know if I’d say ‘August Rush’ is the worst movie of all time, but Gabe @ Stereogum makes some compelling points.

His hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time is a really funny and clever read - you can find the other contenders here.
I was on the verge of writing about ‘August [...]

I’m a huge fan of The Strokes, and lead man Julian Casablancas is the epitome of a charismatic frontman. So I’m very excited about a Casablancas solo album:

The cinematic treatment of this LP preview is very very cool. I’m curious about the merging of Casablancas’ unique voice and the electro sounds of this sneak peek [...]

Please leave a comment here or [...]

Beautifully shot first single from Red Rider’s second album, ‘Drown In Colour’, due to drop very soon.

Wow, it seems every music clip maker is going nuts with stop motion at the moment…. but when it’s done this well, you can’t complain.

Here’s the sneak preview of M. Night Shyamalan’s new film, an adaptation of the animated tv series ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’. Looks pretty cool. Definitely think M. Night has the chops to steal some of the Harry Potter crowd with an exciting new franchise.

I can see how M. Night lost some support with [...]
