So I stayed up late last night and I am not feeling the effects too badly today. This is most likely due to the fact that I am still pretty stoked on the Hair Police show I witnessed last night at Black Dog. Check it out, I made a video of the last song to share with all who could not attend. Although how many actually enjoyed it let alone as much as I did remains uncertain. When asked how I was doing (after the performance) by Whitney, I described myself as doing great because I really enjoyed the set. She replied I think you may be the only one here. Although this is not entirely true because there was quite a gathering of show goers at the foot of the small stage. Noise music is hard for many to embrace, for the music is abrasive. I find that it is quite interesting because it turns “noise” into “music”. I  have grown a bit tired of “normal” “music” and I am in a constant search for something “different”. Anyways,  you can see for your self, tell me what you think.

Maybe it is one of those you had to be there things?

Also,

For Suman, a video that I have been thinking about because all of the Volcanic action going on in Iceland.

Take er easy Tuesday

Here is a nice chilled out sound for a lackluster(weather-wise) Tuesday. I have to say that the only highlight so far for me is seeing a tanker truck full of milk tipped over gushing milk into the thirsty streets. No one cried. Anyways… I was just turned on to this fantastic video artist Jamie Harley. Nice morphing videos, its all quite pretty. Here is the video that Jamie created for “How to Dress Well – Decisions”

HOW TO DRESS WELL – “Decisions” (feat. Yüksel Arslan) from Jamie Harley on Vimeo.

So nice and colourful!

if you wanna take a little preview listen to LCD Soundsystem’s  ”Oh You”

Tasty.

Makes me even more excited for the new album coming out!

Classic video friday with hilarious twist.

Awesome Color are coming to town and playing a free show at the Black Dog on whyte ave on the 14th. That is pretty neat, like this video of theirs for eyes of light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTJaH8SSZWo. It uses the slit screen technique which was used in star trek for the warp speed sequences and in 2001 a space odyssey. Awesome Color have a release on rock/noise super being Thurston Moore’s label. Thurston is a member of Sonic Youth by the way. cooool man. Hair Police are also playing with them at Black Dog, a noisy rock band from Montreal. I am quite excited for all of this.

Rock out!
