Justice once again enlist the artwork services of So Me a.k.a. the man behind those Gummy winning magic tees for "DVNO," a video so nice we decided to work on Saturday for it. As Mehdi Pinson sings, Mr. Me illustrates the lyrics in his pop art style (particularly loving the old-school HBO logo treatment of DVNO), with the help of Machinemolle on motion-design.

From the man who reminded us New Jersey isn't exactly the whole world comes "Moorestown," another melancholic Garden State tune. Fittingly, it seems to take place all across America, but the Jersey kid on staff confirms Moorestown's the home of his favorite childhood mall, and imagines Mark Kozelek's drawing on some of that commerce for his tale of distance, comings, and goings (but mostly goings). Sure, Red House Painters are now Sun Kil Moon; Kozelek's voice is so immediately evocative of anything he's ever sung, though, that the second this song's over, you want to rifle through the collec
