Visual overcompensation

2nd listening and I already can’t stand anymore of it. Let’s hope it doesn’t last. Way down from previous productions (and they weren’t that good already).

In the end is more of the same in every aspect, because if is working don’t fix it.

Isolation is the only thing we have in common?

Don’t know, kind of stuck on this assumption after “Love get out of my way” by Monarchy.

Even the video, and the cover of the album, give me this feeling of cold detachment. Is this the zeitgeist? Probably I’m coming late.

Album release is due in may 2011, but I downloaded it 2 months ago, so if you’re curious is out there. Extremely synth-POP.

Play Snake on Youtube with the new player!

It’s that easy!

High on London

Maybe I’m already suffering from nostalgia, but this video of London is something to see if you have 3 spare minutes (and if you’re reading this than you sure have!).

When the intermission is better than the show

The comment “no newfags in that team” is priceless! And if you don’t get it, sorry, but I can’t tell you, rule #1 & #2 are there for a reason.

Daisy Daisy – Michelle Plays Ping Pong

Video and song go hand in hand and the result is a psychedelic trip. Catchy tune from 2006.

Somewhere by Sofia Coppola

I just found out Sofia Coppola have a new film coming out this winter (dec 22) named Somewhere, here is the trailer.

Seems the story of a cool-leaving the good life-dad and the relationship with his preteen daughter while they travel around Europe. Sure as hell she’s going to make him a better person, or at the very least he will try to improve for her.

Non really impressed by the trailer or the story, probably I’m not in the targeted audience for this kind of film, but I will give it a shot, it’s Sofia’s work after all.

P.S. Soundtrack by Phoenix.

Tristan Perich: 1-Bit Symphony

Sometimes someone come up with a brilliant idea and have the knowledge and passion to put it together, this time is Tristan Perich with his 1-Bit Symphony.

Check out the video.

Crystal Castles – Celestica

Here it is the official video for Celestica, one of the best song in the new album. Strange song and strange video for a band so dark, maybe that’s why I love it so much.

And Alice Glass is beautiful, completely in love with the idea of her. Lyrics after the jump.

The Bloody Beetroots Deathcrew77 – Sperm Donor (Live @ Stereo Bielefeld)

The song is Rifoki (Bob Rifo + Steve Aoki) – Sperm Donor

Bob Rifo seems unstoppable on his path to change Bloody Beetroots from electro house sensation into an hardcore band, and if this is what is going to be like, I can just say: go for it fast as you can Bob!

Their show is one of the sickest, funnier, energizer, most awesome act I ever partecipate and if you want to try just remember is not really safe to go in the middle of the crowd, but God it is fun!

The Day After: Paul Van Dyk – 10 years of Vandit @ O2 Brixton Academy

I will keep it short, I was expecting this night for a long time and maybe I was expecting too much. Giuseppe Ottaviani was amazing, as always, doing is stuff live, really nothing to say, just bravo Giuseppe!

Paul Van Dyk wasn’t in the night, he played well and the track selection was good (not brilliant still) but you can read it on his face it wasn’t one of the best night, and being my 6 or 7th PVD gig, I can say it wasn’t in my top 3. And it was obsessed with Home! We got it, you like the song soooo much, but playing it 3 times in a night is just too much.

Liquid Mountaineering: take this Jesus!

When you’re tired of sunbathing on the shore or want to impress your friends and at the same time practise a new alternative sport (?) now you can walk on water! Or if you want to sound more professional you can exercise yourself in liquid mountaineering.

I still prefer the good old (new testament) Walking On Water™

This is so cool that no matter for how long I would try, I could never go farthest then 2 steps before drowning in shame.

Royksopp – Remind Me

A great video from the past, maybe 2002. I’m not a really big fan of music videos, but this is one of those beyond the simple definition of “music video”, is a 4 minutes infographic look up on a routine day for a white collar girl in London and everything she is connected with.

The number 24

Nuovo sito de Il Sole 24 Ore. Qualcuno in fase di design si è fatto prendere la mano con il numero 24… io ne conto 11 solo nell’header.
