Zombie Zombie

A version of Land of Renegades, not the album version, with the video done with action figures.

Thieves Like Us - Headlong Into Night

They used to live in Berlin, now its Paris. I quite like their concept. All their videos are re-edited excerpts from geman and french 70s/80s movies.

Asobi Seksu - Familiar Light (Twins Remix)

great song.

Op:l Bastards - Scorpius

Disasteradio - Awesome Feeling

Fans of Dan Deacon will definitely enjoy this chap. Hailing from New Zealand. Disasteradio will bring a smile to your face and and itch to those dancing feet!

Pink Floyd - Come in Number 51, Your Time Is Up

This is my favoutite movie scene ever. Its also the last scene of the movie Zabriskie Point by Michelangelo Antonioni from 1970.

Pinback - From Nothing to Nowhere

Forgot how great this song is

Zazen Boys - Asobi

Cathal brought this to our attention a while back but its definitely worthy of a post.

The Bass player is brilliant as is the video.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Kate I Wait

Reminds me of a past that never existed.

Why? - Rubber Traits

As good as anything on Alopecia.

Art and Music

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

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)

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

NICE!

Pnau - Wild Strawberries

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

Danielle Deneuve - Le Parisien

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

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

Francoiz Breut - Les Jeunes Pousses

Alex suggested this one, my right foot nearly tapped itself right off:

Francoiz Breut - Les Jeunes Pousses

Ourself Beside Me

Hazel Nut you've got to love these guys from China: Ourself Beside Me

Le Galaxie - We Bleed The Blood Of Androids

Jovan back to Ireland with this floor stomping groover by Le Galaxie

We Bleed The Blood of Androids

Jose Gonzalez - Cello Song

This perfect cover of Nick Drakes Cello Song is on Dark Was the Night and features the combined powers of The Books and Jose Gonzalez. Its Ronits choice and here the link:

Nite Jewel - Kamera

Simone suggested this, sadly I can't find a link to a video but I do have a link to listening to it though:

Its Nite Jewel - Kamera

Andrew Bird - Fiery Crash

Every so often a new track appears on this blog so with out further adue I shall revert to the first track that was sent to me, this little ditty from Andre Bird:

Fiery Crash
