Karin Dreijer, from Swedish electro-bands Fever Ray and The Knife, sets a new acceptance speech standard at a Swedish awards show:
Karin is the shit! i was lucky to meet her brother Olof & her when The Knife came to LA for the 1st time back in 2006. i'll take Karin over lady caca anytime!!! look into Tomorrow In A Year, an excerpt of which i posted at the tail end of this entry... Swedes rule!
this new trailer for the console game Spec Ops is bad ass:
Marco Brambilla directed while Tronic designed, animated, produced and modeled the characters and environments from scratch in this ambitious portrayal of a destroyed near future Dubai...
Björk lent her talents to give it the otherworldly feel that Dubai certainly elicits. Q Department supervised, composed & designed the über slick soundtrack...Spec Ops: The Line is a provocative and gripping third-person modern military shooter that challenges players’ morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made... hmmm, that's intense! sticking to the wii once in a while might be enough for me. nevertheless, the trailer is sick!
BBC's 2010 Winter Olympics animated tailer is the slickest so far:
directed by Studio Aka's Marc Craste... i dig this inuit hero!!!
