“Iceman” by The Monochrome Set

Familjen

28 Mar

A friend of mine has told me he thinks this first one is a reference to a folk tale that involves a creature luring ordinary people out to the sea, appearing during a festival. He’s also told me that the vocalist’s accent is quite funny to most Swedes.

And this one is just a dream come true after having sat through a considerable number of stuffy church services growing up. Winner of a Grammy.

Thank you, Kyle, for introducing me.

SKIP&DIE – Señorita

Flairs

14 Mar
This video feels to me like a showcase of the toys that were advertised on the Nickelodeon network when I was growing up. Floam, Gak, Koosh balls. And then there’s the wardrobe… somewhere along the lines of Wayne’s World from a different world.

And if you weren’t sold on the first selection, here’s a list of all the ways that Lionel Flairs is allegedly better than Prince.

“10,000 Emerald Pools”- Børns

7 Mar

I’m a little obsessed with this video today. It may tend more towards the dreamy side than pyschedelic, but it definitely feels other-wordly. Børns is a LA singer songwriter whose current claim to fame is that he lives in a tree-house- quite dreamy. The ethereal vocals combined with clever underwater footage make it easy to fall into Børns’ world.

TV on the Radio – Second Song

21 Feb

I searched. Believe me, I searched for more on the making of this video. Maybe stop-motion techniques don’t vary that much, but I would love to watch a project like this unfold. I am eternally grateful that there are people in this world who make such visions a reality for the rest of us.
