beer

i prefer a nice bourbon but this made me smile a bit right down to the shakespearean title.  ah, the simplicity of 1952 in america.  what the hell happened? by sv

Eastern Dub: Dub Davami by Mahmood Schricker featuring Namjoo

beautifully atmospheric; dreamy choreography and sound… i’m a big rhythm & sound fan and i can see the homage paid here.  however, the eastern vocals take this to a new stratosphere. if you are into minimal dub (rhythm & sound, basic channel, etc) and care to experiment with world music this is your ultimate answer, free download here.  sponsored by the ontario arts council. if you are into dance also check out this previous beautiful post. by kc

amour

whether you are in love, want to be, once were, or never were…you should go see this film.  if you are a mortal human being, or perhaps a demi-god gracing the rest of us with your presence, you should also go see this film.  michael haneke, thank you. by sv

mr. jones is sixty six

with a video by installation artist tony oursler featuring footage from time spent in berlin, mr. david bowie returns with his first studio album in a decade.  quite the occasion to mark his 66th birthday.  ‘where are we now’ single out today, rest of the album, ‘the next day’ is due in march.  happy happy to one of the few remaining masters.  by sv
