Now that we are talking about Futura 2000 anyway… this is the clip for Unkle’s newest track Runaway, with Futura’s famous character Pointman. Created by John Nolan

In my youth I used to have quite a collection of ’singles’. For the younger folks: singles are little 7″ vinyl discs that rotate 45 times per minute.
At that time I also developed an addiction to sloth machines (this one to be more precise). That addiction cost me my collection. I practically sold them all to a second hand store in our town to feed my addiction. Big shame on me.
But thanks to internet I now can get some of it back. I’m going to try and find them and restore the collection I once had.
First up is Paul Hardcastle with 19. A track with samples from a documentary about traumatized Vietnam veterans. Still rocks I think!
Neave Television is a playground for all sorts of visual stuff. Really love that random tv channel. Pretty ddictive.
(Thanks Meryl!)
This is a beautiful Feist cover and a wonderful clip by 22 year old talent James Blake.
Too bad we missed him on Iceland Arirwaves.

In high school I received a B in ceramics. Something about my glaze not looking correct. Twice. Although, I did make a pretty cool rattle that she put in the display case. That B still haunts me = clay intrigues me. A medium that, by all conventional grading systems, I simply haven’t mastered. Watch this video and you’ll understand.
The first 2 seasons of Weeds and the first 2 albums of Weezer have one thing in common: they were great. Then, as the old saying goes, “they went down the tubes.” And now we are left with a washed up and hollow version of what Rivers Cuomo used to be. The point of this (aside from me getting some of my pent-up 15 year old Rivers revenge out of the way) is to say that unlike Weezer, OK Go wants to actually keep succeeding (with their original fan-base). Plus they are creative and don’t need Harvard to prove it. I didn’t think they would be able to top their last few videos but alas, the newest one, “White Knuckles,” reminds me that not everyone fades away with a song about Pork and Beans.

The one who uses nineties stock photography as inspiration for a music video, is a genius.

Ritalin is good stuff. I’m on it right now. It’s also the name for this song by Dancing Pigeons. Not really my type of music but I like that video. A flamethrower vs. fire extinguisher. Cool concept by Tomas Mankovsky.

All Hip Hop cliches like bling, bubbles, grills, Lamborghinis, dollars and booty in one video, accompanied by Gustav Mahlers symphony Nr. 5, instead of beats. Great way to illustrate the insanity of this whole movement.

Still regret that I skipped FM Belfast’s show @ Iceland Airwaves last year… Great track and now a great video as well.
Btw, anyone interested in coming along this year?

Love that track! And the video!
I’ll help with this old school giant from 3D Bass: Gas Face.
The new video for M.I.A.’s new song Born free by Romain Gavras.
And holy fuck… what a video…
Don’t know whether I should find this briliant, funny, disgusting or all three together.
Better not watch this if you have a sensitive stomache.
By the greatest hero of all times, mr. David Bowie. Some friends of ours had this track as their openings dance tune on their wedding. Goosebumps. Absolutely our new best track evahhh.
