Dali + Disney - Destino

SALVADOR DALI. ANIMATED.
Do I have to say any more?
It's definitely no Fantasia, but it's just as trippy in its own right.


Destino is a short animated cartoon released in 2003 by The Walt Disney Company. Destino is unique in that its production originally began in 1945, 58 years before its eventual completion. The project was a collaboration between American animator Walt Disney and Spanish painter Salvador Dalí, and features music written by Mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez.

Two Weeks

I can't stop listening to this.

OT: textual flirting is bad news, but i can't hellllppp myself. its like a disease or something.

le petit prince

OH HAI THAR

I love everything about this video.

ESPECIALLY A. Green jamming out on the couch.

I wasn't really sure it was him until I heard him start singing. I'd recognize his voice anywhere.

Yes, Anthony Green, I still love you. It's been years, and I haven't really followed with your bands in years, but my love for you will always remain.

/creepy

but omggggg I just flashed back to seeing Circa Survive at warped. amazing.

boners

Okay, to make it clear, I did not say I was a fan of any of the music in my last post. I just said that it was interesting and not to knock it till you've tried it.

So now, moving on to things that I DO like....

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

This song is perfect for this time of year, and after obsessing over their take away show (un concert a emporter) and ensuing musical boners, I found the official music video for it, and visual boners began accompanying the aural.

I CANNOT STOP WATCHING/LISTENING TO THIS.

alahlfhdhdkjghlfhgkghf. so amazing.

Speaking of animation...

CORALINE!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

I will watch it. It will be in 3D, and my mind will be blown.

For additional bonerage, go to http://www.coraline.com/ - you can spend HOURS on there. (Trust me..)

and continuing on with the theme of movies (and boners):

500 Days of Summer

I AM ALSO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

Joseph Gordon Levitt + Zooey Deschanel together?

PERMABONER.

Okay, is it just me, or is the voice over completely WRONG for this movie?

The voiceover and the title being repeated 500 billion times gives me hope that this movie will not be as cliched as it looks like it's going to be. It makes me think that there will be a couple of really awkward/strange twists thrown in.

I hope it is not another Across the Universe - which, while bonerific with music and Jude and colours and all that wonderful stuff, lacked a plotline.

MGMT + Justice

If you're noting the barrage of posts, it's mostly because I'm leaving soon and I don't know how often I'll be updating.
Also because I am running into good music sources.

I like MGMT.
I like Justice.
I find the lead singer of MGMT extremely attractive.
I find Xavier from Justice slightly attractive.
So imagine the musical boners I had when I found out that Justice did a remix of Electric Feel.
(Actual girl-boners will ensue as soon as they put out a video together.)
Amazing.
Get the song here .


Bonus picture of Andrew from MGMT:

Bonus video where Xavier sheds some insight on their songwriting process, how they plan their dj sets and the origin of the band's name. (Also a great time to brush up on your German, and something about Kanye West.) Don't worry, it kicks into French-accented English during the important parts:

Also bonus video for Electric Feel (the original version)

models/singers

So I'm sure everybody's heard and seen the trainwreck that was Scarlett Johansson's singing-career, and everybody is aware of the actress/singer phenomenon.
But what about the model/singer?
Can models sing? It's always weird to see/hear and model speak, let alone sing. I mean, I like to look at them, and their outfits and stuff, but to realize they're actually people and can talk and do stuff other than smile and pose is weird sometimes.
On that note (haha ?) here's a video from Five O'Clock Heroes, featuring none other than Miss Agyness Deyn.
And it's actually not that bad, in my opinion. I know she has a pretty hardcore accent, but it doesn't come out too much in the singing..
Anyways, here you go:


Apparently she's not the only one to move in with the model/singer trend.
We've got Irina Lazareanu's foray into the musical sphere, and Daisy Lowe waiting on a collaboration with Mark Ronson.

AND Kate Moss is apparently dying to get in on the action with Jamie and Allison.

All I can say is that, I really hope they don't let her on stage with them. Kate Moss is Kate Moss and all, but as I've blogged before, The Kills are pretty much perfect as is.
Maybe she IS jealous of VV and Hotel's dynamic.

Robyn + The Kills

So this past week I went to see Robyn (yes, Robyn as in "Show Me Love" and "Do You Really Want Me" Robyn) and the Kills with Rafay.
I was not a big fan of Robyn, there was something about her breathing that put me off (yeah, I know), but upon arrival at the Phoenix and sitting through the horrible opening band (okay, like two songs, both of which sounded the same, and were kind of downers) Robyn came on, and put on one of the best shows I've seen in awhile.
I have been converted.
I believe in Robyn.
The music is really good too, if i can get over the breathing thing. Plus she's enlisted the help of The Knife, and I love The Knife.
Why are the Swedish so great?
In the world "Cool Olympics" I think the French and the Swedish are one to one.

The next night I went to see The Kills.
Another amazing show. They blew me away.
This is what rock is supposed to be like.
Jamie was a complete stud on guitar, and Allison is a total babe.
They have this manic energy on stage, and amazing chemistry.
It almost made me feel uncomfortable, watching them.
I would be worried, if I was Kate Moss. But then again, it's Kate Moss.
"if you were kate moss you would spend all day staring at how beautiful and amazing you are and thus not worrying" - Jessica

Robyn and The Kills are on heavy rotation right now, and will be for awhile.



(Okay, don't judge ATL being in the top 3. I went through their albums last night for the feelings of nostalgia it brought.)

I pretty much spent most of today youtubing The Kills videos.
So, here's a couple of videos and an interview that they did for east village radio.

ed banger

Justice - Stress (auto remix)
the new justice track from Ed Rec Vol III
it's actually pretty old news... (well a couple days at least)
but i doubt anyone who reads this has heard it yet, so here you go.


also the ed rec vol III is out May 26 if anyone cares.

i didn't even know that there was a vol I and II...

theres also a Busy P x Murs track thats floating around thats supposed to be a straight up anthem to LA hipsters with shout outs to the cobrasnake, steve aoki and others.
i'll post it if i'm able to find it.

edit:
found it. the youtube itself is pretty funny. wtf at the spinning smiley face.
okay i know murs is supposed to be a big deal in the hiphop world, or was back in the day when i was a huge hiphop head and was always being sent the hottest underground tracks, but the lyrics on this track are kind of ridic.

"i got a dick that's as big as texas"
"we hit up cinespace, bro got his camera all up in my face tomorrow morning i'n gonna be on cobrasnake"
"dj am, steve aoki, got the dance floor packed and its mostly girls girls"

lol cinespace, steve aoki, cobrasnake.



I can't hate on it too much. I love Busy P.

Fuck exams.

One more exam left!
Tomorrow is the last exam of the third year of my university career.
It feels pretty good until I realize that I may have another 2ish years to complete my degree... and a month of summer school after this..
But before I kiss the month of May goodbye, I will have a week of partying to last me the month.
Is it just me, or does May always kick off will some pretty sick shows?

Anyways.
If you want to stalk me, here is my sched. and accompanying commentary.

April 30 - Yelle
I doubt this will be as good as when I went to see her in October.
a) I will be completely sober
b) It's at the fucking Opera House, instead of The Drake like last time
c) I have since found that copious amounts of ginos listen to her, and refer to her as "that french chick"
Also, GRANDMARNIER WE ARE COMING FOR YOU.

May 1 - Heartsrevolution
a.k.a. The Cobra Snake Dance Party
Where all my internet pop-culture dreams will come true!

May 5 - Robyn
She better play Show Me Love, I am serious.


I don't think this was the hitlist version of the video, I don't remember it as vividly as the BBMak ones...

May 6 - The Kills
M.E.X.I.C.O.C.U.
yeah?


Maybe I'll replace alcohol with Redbull?

Rebecca Turbow

Admittedly I was not a fan of Rebecca Turbow's designs when first introduced to her.
(She is Sasha's favourite designer).
There may have been one or two pieces that I liked from what I saw, but nothing memorable.
However, Sasha happened to show me this video of the designer's Spring/Summer 08 collection "Safe", and I am actually liking what I see.
(This might actually have something to do with the fact that it's set to HEARTSREVOLUTION's CYOA... which may have actually made Sasha die a little)
I really liked the jacket, and the reversible dress.
The second dress that the model wore with the white knee socks was also quite cute, as well...
The white coat with the green lining, the green coat (was it the white coat reversed??) and the last coat were pretty amazing..
Actually, I liked quite a bit of it, but it's really hard to keep watching and pausing the video to describe the outfits, because it's getting kind of hard to keep track of..
The only thing I did not like was the green bubble dress, and the white one after it.
Anyways, here's the video. Sasha linked it to me, and she also has it posted in her secret blog that no one knows about and no one can read, because she posts under an alias. So I'm showing it in a more public forum (kinda).
