The Wilhelm Scream

pieter | today and tomorrow — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:08:48 +0000

Here’s another track from James Blake his upcomming album: The Wilhelm Scream. It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a hyped album, but it’s probably worth it.
Here’s the video for his other track: Limit To Your Love.

Now That’s What I Call MIDI

Now That’s What I Call MIDI is a project by Internet Archaeology. They want to make a full length EP containing 16 of your favorite Jamz from yesteryear (Nirvana, Ace of Base, Eminem, Jay-Z …) converted from MIDI format onto the plush sound of vinyl. It will be limited to 500 copies only.
You can help this project through Kickstarter. If you pledge $25 or more you’ll receive a copy! They need $2.500 by Sunday January 9th 2011, otherwise no ones pays or receives any money (no risk for you or them). They’re almost half way there, so pitch in. It’s MIDI on vinyl!

I’m not going to tell you much about this music video “Limit To Your Love” by James Blake. It’s a cover version of a Feist song and the video was directed by Martin de Thurah. And if you’ve heard about James Blake, you’ll know.

Story to Be Told

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:30:25 +0000

This is the new music video for “Story to Be Told” by M.I.A. Just like her previous video XXXO, it’s again an internet style inspired one (just like the cover art and her website). This time it’s not that glossy but more like real amateur style mixed with CAPTCHA’s. She even bought an URL for it: www.yesthelittlepeoplewillneverwinbuttheycanfuckshitup.com.
The track itself isn’t that great though.

M.I.A. – XXXO

pieter | today and tomorrow — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:39:29 +0000

What’s up with the music videos today? The internet amateur style finally made it into a music video, thanks to Hype Williams & M.I.A. The video for XXXO is just pure bliss! It’s the music video of the year, hands down.
There’s just one bitter taste about it. I can’t watch the official video in Germany, M.I.A. even uses the official YouTube video on her homepage. Is 2010 still the year where licenses are local but music is global?

Ratatat – Drugs

Do you know stock imagery and stock footage? Yes? Then you might recognize some faces in the music video for Drugs by Ratatat. Carl Burgess searched the Getty Images archives and turned the footage into this amazing video. You’ll smile watching this one!
Produced by Blink Art & Colonel Blimp.

Days of Our Lives

Petra Cortright directed the music video for “Days of Our Lives” by Restless People. Loving it.

Ritalin

pieter | today and tomorrow — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:44:46 +0000

This is the music video for Ritalin by Dancing Pigeons. It was directed by Tomas Mankovsky. All I’m saying is … flamethrower vs fire extinguisher.

Interpol – Lights

pieter | today and tomorrow — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:46:10 +0000

Charlie White directed this music video for “Lights” by Interpol. To be honest, the first time I watched I was annoyed by the music, I even switched off the sound. But it grew on me after a few times.

Grindin’

pieter | today and tomorrow — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:42:32 +0000

This is the music video for Grindin’ by Nobody Beats The Drum. It’s a very impressive stop motion piece made with 4085 photos, yet very simple. The music is … well not my cup of tea and you might want to turn down the volume. The making of video is actually quite entertaining.

Scratch Cassette

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:29:40 +0000

Alexis Malbert a.k.a. TapeTronic knows how to handle oldskool audio cassettes. The first video shows you his different scratch cassettes, the second one some weird customised tapes and tapedecks.

Vanishing Point
