New Arcade Fire Video ‘Black Mirror’
Wow. This video is a ton of fun! Check out the newest video for the Arcade Fire, Black Mirror. Another dark-teractive video. The channels are:
1-Vocals, 2-Drums, 3-Bass, 4-Piano/guitar, 5-backwards vocals, 6-strings. Try listening with just track five on. Makes me feel like a film student.
Spitzer remix Kylie
Check out the new version of Kylie Minogue‘s In My Arms (Spitzer Remix). I gotta say, I like this remix, reminds me of Madonna’s last record.
Spitzer have also said they are remixing a Sally Shapiro track (Paperbag). Will keep my ears open for that one.
Anyone know when these guys might make it to North America?
Jonquil
I was pseudo DJing the other night before my brother started at the decks. In a room full of people drinking beer and chatting, we heard Lions by Jonquil slowly work its way into the room. Probably the song on my mix that I thought would stick out like a sore thumb, or like its name, a lion in a bar.
It held its own and turned heads.
The band is an Oxford (UK) bedroom recording project turned band, centered around 20 year old Hugo Manuel. The band released their most recent record on Try Harder, a label gaining some attention with bands like Foals. Listen for bouzouki, guitar, violin, drums, flugelhorn and double bass. Kind of like something in-between Akron/Family and Grizzly Bear.
Some great footage on La Blogoteque, check it out.
Ever heard this song?
My older brother introduced me to it over the holidays. Lotion by Greenskeepers. From just hearing the lyrics, I couldn’t guess what it was about, until he gave me the Jodie Foster clue…..
