David Lynch tells it like it is

August 27th, 2010

Ok, so it’s not a short film, but it made me smile and seemed most apt in this section of the blog. This video was ripped from the DVD special features of a David Lynch movie and cleverly transformed into a parody of an Apple iPhone ad. Anyway…


Bodies Of Water: A Certain Feeling

August 26th, 2010

CDOTW 001: An album we bought, and think you should:

£5.99 from amazon on CD
£15 from amazon on vinyl
or buy direct from the band: Bodies Of Water. I bought my vinyl from them directly and that made it that little bit more special.

This song is stunning.


Bomb The Bass feat. Fujiya & Miyagi: Butterfingers

August 21st, 2010

Ha, I’d forgotton BTB existed. I loved Clear way back when but I stumbled cross this video whilst hunting out Fujiya & Miyagi videos for the site. What a great video… and there’s a subtle bit of humour at the end. Very engaging and playful and kind of a joy to watch. Having listened to the BTB album this song comes from, it isn’t bad in itself. Different from Clear, but if you like this song you’ll probably like the album.


Peppermint Trolley Company: Trust ||| Spanky and Our Gang: I’d Like to Get to Know You

August 19th, 2010

I recently found this tune by Peppermint Trolley Company…this band didn’t last too long after the 60’s ended but i thought they deserved a hearing now due to their beautiful harmonies and catchy tunes.

Spanky and Our Gang had this hit back in the day…their only really worth while hit…the rest of their stuff is a bit…well…twee (to be polite) but this is a great tune.


The Bookhouse Boys: I Can’t Help Myself

August 18th, 2010

I love this band. Their debut album was storming. Sounding like the offspring of Nick Cave and Twin Peaks, if a man and a place could begat offspring. We know they’re currently working on the second album and the one track we’ve heard bodes well.


The Strange Boys: Be Brave

August 18th, 2010

How Bloody Amazing are this Band?
Very.


Yu(c)k: Automatic

August 17th, 2010

A beautiful tune to help you sleep. This band seem to be doing bigger things so we thought we;d get them on here at least, before they get too big.

June 17th, 2010

Pidgeons – Fade Away
This is a track from the Pidgeons new album Si Faustine. The haunting voice you hear is that of Wednesday Knudson. I’m definitely loooking forward to hearing the rest of the album…

Forest Swords – Visits
A bit of mood music and interesting visuals to accompany this track from Forest Swords.
I love the way in which their use of old film footage and their music creates a feeling of foreboding…

Olafur Arnalds

April 28th, 2010

One of the most beautiful videos i’ve seen for a while. This is where music and video merge to make another artform for me…one without the other has its appeal but together they become something else…enlarge the screen, turn off the lights, press play, stare into and contemplate the beauty of things.
The Music is by Olafur Arnalds previously of the Icelandic group MUM. Enjoy.


HEALTH: We Are Water

April 12th, 2010

Ok…found this today by what sounds like a great band from the states…’Health’. The video was made by a guy called Eric Wareheim at Funk Factory Films.
If you’re into cool music vids you’ll like this…ouch…not for the faint of heart!!!
