Visual overcompensation

midclass — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:02:20 +0000

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.

High on London

midclass — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:01:58 +0000

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

midclass — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 02:03:02 +0000

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

Somewhere by Sofia Coppola

midclass — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 05:00:07 +0000

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.

Crystal Castles – Celestica

midclass — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:31:04 +0000

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.

Celestica
(written by E.Kath/A.Glass)

As we fall into sequence
And we’re eating our young
Remain silent and still for modesty

When the splints have been broken
And they can’t help you now
Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally

Follow me to nowhere
Woven with the utmost care

If I’m lost please don’t find me
If I drown let me sink
We descended from no one
With a wink

When it’s cold outside hold me
Don’t hold me
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
Don’t coax me
When it’s cold outside hold me
Don’t hold me
When I choose to rest my eyes coax me
Don’t coax me

Follow me to nowhere
Woven with the utmost care

Have they cleansed you with chloride
And scrubbed behind the knees
Has your body been hollowed by the breeze
