2009-04-28T06:16:00.000-07:00

As a fan of obscure horror movies, Dario Argento, anything from the 70s, as well as The Mighty Boosh and IT-Crowd, this video has it all rolled into one for me. And the song is good too.

Thieves Like Us - Headlong Into Night

2009-03-20T06:21:00.000-07:00

The Bass player is brilliant as is the video.

Art and Music

2009-03-06T10:34:00.000-08:00

Recently, when I was listening to Pig Radio I came across this song:
Sam Taylor-Wood - I'm in love with a German Filmstar. Until then I had known Sam Taylor-Wood only as an artist, but soon found out that she had been collaborating with the Pet Shop Boys before. This being the latest effort.
In the video Sam Taylor-Wood strikes a Marlene Dietrich pose and amazingly sits still for about 4 minutes.

It made me think that the newest topic for Track of the Day could be: artist as musicians and musicians as artists. Which can you think of?

My absolute favourite is Walking On Thin Ice by Yoko Ono. Love it.

In 2006 I came across PTR - PlanningToRock and was absolutely thrilled by her music, her live shows and the visuals she used in them. PTR is Janine Rostron and she came to Berlin via Bolton, England. Hence Bolton Wanderer:

Q Lazarus - Goodbye Horses

2009-03-03T11:26:00.000-08:00

Now that we have set this whole blog thingy in motion, I shall give you all one of my favourite tunes form last year. Oh how i tortured party after party with this. For those of you who remember Silence of the Lambs, there is one scene where Buffalo Bill is dancing with his penis between his legs asking a rather strange question and wearing a fairly unusual suit. But sweet mother of god is the song fantastic.

Röyksopp - Happy Up Here (Holy Fuck Remix)

2009-03-03T11:02:00.000-08:00

Simone gave us this Holy Fuck remix of Röyksopp - Happy Up Here

NICE!

Pnau - Wild Strawberries

2009-03-03T10:54:00.000-08:00

Jovan once again proving his uncanny ability to make you wanna dance sent us all this little shaker from Australia:

Danielle Deneuve - Le Parisien

2009-03-03T10:46:00.000-08:00

Olwen gave us this classic from 1983. This woman was a Danish schlager singer in the 70s, before making a career comeback in the italo disco genre. Apparently when this track was released by some Danish producers they pretended it was an Italian import and that 'Danielle' was a French singer discovered in a bar in Thailand...

School Of Seven Bells - Half Asleep

2009-03-03T10:35:00.000-08:00

So my turn, and I'm currently in love with School of Seven Bells and this track

Francoiz Breut - Les Jeunes Pousses

2009-03-03T10:31:00.000-08:00
