no wave music documentary
the documentary was not as amazing as the one we had posted “punk attitude”, but still worth a watch if you are a fan of the genre. by dd

punk attitude: must see film
find out why i always hated nirvana, why new york gets all the credit, and why music today is more like processed cheese than audible food. a must see film for any music lover. super cool, double freak ass bad. see all ten parts or better yet, rent the dvd. everyone from MC5, suicide, ny dolls, clash, television, patti smith, ramones, iggy, black flag, pistols, joy division, sonic youth, and so so on. not to be missed is henry rollins, he is hilarious in part nine or ten where he talks about the beastie boys and the rest. by dd
SUICIDE: better late than never
i’ve been listening to nothing but ‘alan vega’ and ‘suicide’ for the past few days (with gratitude to hd) and i can’t help but be so so impressed by their work, 30+ years later. i hear so many future bands in their body of work, it’s quite amazing how influential they were. searching, i found this clip, certainly worth sharing. i think maybe great music can only exist when you have no audience in mind… and even then it can still fail. i suppose that goes for everything that ends up being truly special. by dd
summer wine: NANCY SINATRA -LEE HAZLEWOOD
for what they are singing about they are standing awfully far apart, no? i am posting this song because i cant find a decent version of the 1996 country classic ‘strawberry wine’ by deana carter which brought back memories of a past life this eve. by kl
En hand i himlen : Jonathan Johansson
great track by swede-pop artist jonathan johansson. directed by simeon frohm, and shot on location in stockholm, lisbon, paris, barcelona, rome and pamplona. roughly translates into “one hand in heaven/the sky”. now it would have been cool if they played this last night when we were intoxicated off our feet. by dd

don’t save us from the flames: by M83 from the album BEFORE the dawn heals us. by kl
all the best: to the fantastic mr. fox
when one of my favorite directors meets one of tomorrow started’s favorite musicians, and on top of that, when they decide to set up this collaboration at one of our favorite brands, you get: wes anderson’s newest movie featuring the music of jarvis cocker recorded at the apc headquarters. sounds good! i can’t wait to see it. by pp’
the virgins: rich girls
mr. donald cumming. i’ve been listening to your shit and never realized it was you. model tracks generally suck, but you made it baby. still love your face, and scoring behati in your vid never hurts either. see you in munster germany. by dd
Where I Lead Me, i will follow
and why not… mr. finn andrews. by dd
Advice For Young Mothers To Be
i had all but forgotten about this song by the veils, but well, this is basically how i felt all weekend. by dd
seydisfjordur rocks iceland: soundville and sigur ros
well, it’s about time brands thought outside of the usual venues. in this case, sound serves as the centerpiece in the latest release from sony, soundville. it is a short film that documents three days in the life of the icelandic town of seydisfjordur after it’s been transformed into a giant soundsystem. the project brought in a surprising range of collaborators—from seydisfjordur’s townspeople themselves, to sigur ros’ concert team and musician fede cabral.
how did you come up with this particular idea? what inspired you?
i was buying milk while listening to stockhausen on my headphones. i felt everyone should be listening too.
it’s really, really, amazing, and makes me want to be in iceland now. by dd + kt
Jaco Van Dormael: toto le héros
i saw this film by the belgian director/screenwriter jaco van dormael i think over 10 years ago, and i remember i cried in the theater. maybe it was because i saw it only months after my father passed away. not that it was a sad film, on the contrary it’s very fun, but there was something painfully honest about it. i really loved it then, and i’m so curious to see it again. unfortunately unavailable on netflix, making it a good find and a nice gift. by uh
