“Dark Night of the Soul” is the title of the new album of Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse. Yes you know Danger Mouse, he is one half of Gnarls Barkley but he became quite famous in 2004 when he released The Grey Album. This new album sounds quite different, there are actually many guest featured on it like Frank Black, The Flaming Lips, Iggy Pop and David Lynch to just name a few. EMI decided not to release it due to some legal issues. Danger Mouse decided to release it anyway, the catch … there’s a blank CD-R inside the jewel case. If you want to fill the CD-R, then you might want to look on you favorite P2P platform. You can buy one of the 5000 hand numbered ones for $50 form the website. (Shipping to Europe will cost you $80.85 extra!!!). It comes with a 100+ page book with photographs by David Lynch and an extra poster. You can listen listen to the tracks on the NPR website.
Way to go Danger Mouse! Eat that EMI!
This music video for Rusty Naily by Moderat fits perfectly to my last post about the photography of William Hundley. Last night was actually the record release party at WMF in Berlin and it was quite hot. I didn’t know the support act Anstam before, but I really liked them. It’s almost impossible to find anything on these 2 German brothers, you can listen to their tracks on MySpace. Dark!

The record label BPitchControl took down the video, apparently they are still quite old school.
Thumbs down!
But I found this 30 seconds excerpt, sorry for the b*tt ugly flash player.
This is the music video for Sansula by Dominik Eulberg, directed by Dirk Rauscher. They projected animations in a forrest and then filmed them, the details shots of the flowers where done in a stopframe method with a DSLR camera. The result is excellent!
If you like this, then you will be blown away by Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing.
“A New Error” is definitely the best track on the new Moderat record. They should have skipped all the vocal tracks, terrible stuff. But I could listen to this one in a infinite loop. You might wanna click the HD button if you like it. (The video doesn’t have any visuals, just the track.)
“What’s that sound? I like that sound. I love that sound.”
“It is the sound of my shoes.”
This is the new music video for “Shoes” by Tiga, it was directed by Alex and Liane.
Datamoshing is how you call the video technique in this music video “Evident Utensil” for the band Chairlift. I would still call it digital glitches, but datamoshing sounds better (than the music in this video). So no, this video is not f*cked up, Ray Tintori of Court 13 who directed it, did it on purpose.
