Spit GOLD Under An Empire

take a breather & enjoy Emily Kai Bock's contribution to Sundance Channel's New American Noise... uninspired with the commercial rap that dominates the radio, this new guard of hip hop enthusiasts are seeking the purity of early hip hop - away from the industry & keeping things real, underground & intimate.  mad props to cinematographer Adrien Bertolle for such a splendid job:

THAT B.E.A.T.

Bounce music is about expressing yourself through dance. Bounce creates an infectious repetitive hook and beat to get the crowd moving.  Abteen Bagheri's documentary profiles the phenomenon of Bounce music, including artists such as Big Freedia, tracing its origins in New Orleans... this is a scene or movement Diplo has been covering for many years already, but this film is definitely worth it...

MIND MISCHIEF

it's such a bummer when a talented band i LOVE like The Knife, who has worked with some of the most talented directors in the past, is now looking no further than the Berlin pub scene & choses to work with a director who does a crappy job instead.  look, i'm all about giving your friends a shot, unless their work is lazy & lame...  on the flipside, it's totally exciting when a band i'm so into right now like Tame Impala choses to work with one of the most brilliant young directors around - David Wilson.  Mind Mischief is such a win-win band/director collaboration! enjoy & share the wealth:

Chanel et le diamant

FULL OF FIRE

I LOVE THE KNIFE!!! they just unveiled Full Of Fire from their forthcoming album Shaking The Habitual.  more about the killer song & the not so killer video on here & here...

L'écume des jours

MICHEL GONDRY applies his DIY visual effects, his deliriously fantastic touch & his gentle poetic sensibilities to adapting Boris Vian's "L'écume des jours" for the big screen...  the new trailer is splendid & i'm already madly in love with the movie before even seeing it.  i can't wait!!!  the English title of the film is Mood Indigo:

love on the ice

just like this!!!
