C4 Recommends: February 2011

[Every so often on on our Twitter feed we'll point to something other than books that caught our attention. In this occasional series, we highlight a few of those things (and a few others). Follow it here.]


Peep Show (hilarious British comedy show; available on Hulu) , recommended by Nico

Exit Through the Gift Shop (the Banksy documentary—better than they say, and funny, too—find it here), recommended by Nico

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, by Kanye West (the latest Kanye album—and easily his best—play it here), recommended by Nico

The Other Guys (Will Ferrell/Marky Mark comedy—surprisingly hilarious—find it here), recommended by Nico

The Dead Chipmunk (an article in The Believer about jokes—read it here), recommended by Eric

Chacarero (awesome chilean sandwich shop, two locations in downtown Boston—beef or chicken, you can’t go wrong), recommended by Eric

“Open Water,” by Urban Waite (short story about a scuba diving class—available at AGNI online), recommended by Eric

Invariable Heartache, by KORT (album—Cortney Tidwell and Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner covering obscure country tracks from the Chart Records catalog—here’s a bit of a preview), recommended by Aaron

Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, by Mogwai (album—the Scottish post rockers latest varies the formula a bit, even verging on danceable, but retains the band’s trademark stormy mood—listen here), recommended by Aaron

Goldeneye 007 (Wii game—updates the classic game with a contemporary first person shooter feel, but doesn’t lose any of the goofy charm (and difficulty) of the original), recommended by Aaron

Spirit Kid (band—rocked the C4 mag launch party—tour dates and album info available on their site), recommended by Sean
