There’s a new trailer in town, this time revealing new scenes from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and, more importantly, a preview of its tunes.
Fans of Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet know the man can collect a sharp soundtrack. Beyoncé, André 3000, Florence and the Machine. Oh and Lana Del Rey, but whatever.
In all, between the sound and the sight, I don’t know which I’m looking forward to more.
Cinemas, May 10.

The series that never happened but absolutely should have, and totally still could.
Incidentally, the original;
CASIS x Shepard Fairey. There’s a pairing I never thought I’d see.
Prolific designer and street artist Shepard Fairey – famous for his ‘OBEY’ work and Barack Obama’s ‘Hope’ posters – has unveiled his official design for the patch of a new project on the International Space Station.
The project, managed by Centre for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), is called ARK1, or Advancing Research Knowledge 1.
The patch will be worn by space workers (astronauts, cosmonauts, what-have-you) involved with the project, which will run from September this year, through to March 2014.
“It’s a really special thing. I’m just flattered and honored that I could create something that becomes just a small symbol of how things can move forward. The excitement of the unknown. To be part of that, is really a cool thing,” Fairey said of the project.
“I just peed a little, seeing the work of a favourite artist paired with the sheer bonkers awesomeness of space science,” Doshio said.

This is intense. Get me that water-powered teleportation fuse now.
Biting Elbows’ awesome sequel to the crazy Insane Office Escape clip release in 2011.
The Hoody with a 10-year Guarantee.
Ordering one.
Funny thing is, we’ve always had the technology and materials for producing garments that can maintain a good condition for 10 years or more, but where would big business be without planned obsolescence?

Director Danny Boyle has a new fantastical thriller en route to theatres: Trance.
The man comfortably figures among my favourite directors, and the cast of Trance is incredible.
Hell if I can get my head around the trailer, but it does look properly mental. Sign me up.
A cute b-side (of a sort) from The Lumineers, titled simply Untitled. Because why bother.

Loving this series of short comedy clips that revolve around a loosely connected group of urbanite stoners, brought together through their shared dope delivery guy.

Here’s a brand-new trailer for JJ Abrams’ upcoming Star Trek sequel, Into Darkness. I’ve done the math, and I can confirm I am mad looking forward to this.
Loved Abrams’ first Trek film. Obviously a major departure from the regular TV series’ and films, but his take on the franchise has opened it up to millions of potential fans, giving them a new ‘jumping on’ point. That can only be a good thing.
Star Trek Into Darkness hits Australian cinemas on May 16 (one day before the US).
I’ve never heard of Hanni El Khatib, but this track is fun as hell.
Better still is the video, which features a crazy nude Japanese motorcycle gang and their gals.
I don’t know how you can get better than that, but someone’s bound to try. I’ll be ready for them.
Hey babe with the Tokyo plates, where ya headed?
Doshio is where @mkstvns highlights select content. It is sometimes naughty.
'Doshio' draws on the Japanese phrase 'doushio', or どうしよう, meaning "what should I do?"
Mike is a design and illustration gun-for-hire.
Talk to him about your next project.
