acrassicauda from baghdad
Posted on | March 13, 2010 | No Comments
became a huge fan of vice tv documentaries featured on the vbs.tv website. the one posted here follows the first (and maybe only) iraq metal band acrassicauda. a vice team followed them for more than three years from war to post war times 2003 - 2006. there is also a short trailer on what happened after that if you click here. you should start with the long feature though.
hobnox live audio flash tool
Posted on | June 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
all those who are into making their own electronic music (and those who like crazy flash sites) but can’t afford the expensive music software tools should take a look at the new hobnox live audio web tool. a pretty amazing flash site that provides everything you need to make your own mix (although KABE, producer of the klamauk label said it’s not interesting for pros using the standard on computer software or tools).
still a cool site, click here to check out the hobnox live audio tool website.

honestly, i barely understand anything from what the blank dogs in “setting fire to your house” are singing about but i like the video style a lot.
klamauk – or hullabaloo, in a good way
Posted on | April 6, 2009 | No Comments
check out the music label klamauk (which basically means hullabaloo) from mainz, germany. founded by tilman schwarz, michael fluhr and karsten brommenschenkel in august 2008. the label focuses on techno and house (or as they’d describe it: microfunk) releases.
not only do i actually like the music but the guys running the show came up with a cool web device. because the first vinyl release was a black and white print with individual hand coloration from each artist the guys from klamauk wanted to keep the individual element to their releases alive even for mp3 cover art. the website was realized by euro rscg 4d in duesseldorf, germany.
design your cover at klamauk.net/digital and listen to their music at juno or itunes.
evident utensil video

visually pretty interesting video for “evident utensil” from “chairlift”, an american electro pop group which was founded 2006 in boulder, colorado. the three group members aaron pfenning (songwriting/vocals/electronics/guitar), caroline polachek (songwriting/vocals/tambourine/synthesizer) and patrick wimberly (drums/bass guitar/keyboard/production) are now based in new york.
after “bruises” was featured in the new ipod nano tv commercial in september 2008 the band promptly got written up everywhere.
stay up (viagra)
Posted on | March 19, 2009 | No Comments
another nice video featuring kanye west – “stay up (viagra)” from his album “the death of adam”. think director jason goldwatch did a pretty good job and i like kanye’s fable for ironic and satiric video interpretations like “can’t tell me nothing” which i loved. it’s entertainment baby.
