I was going to call this the "worst video by a somewhat promising young/new artist" but I will refrain from that drawn out award style title and just say this video is lame, I think the song is interesting, the vocals are pretty, etc. But really all I DON'T need to see today is a swedish dude in short shorts and suspenders humping a door while a questionably swedish guy bangs away on seemingly silent piano (as there is no piano track in the song). Shucks.
Her name is 'Lykke Li', she is from what I refer to 'The Land of Amazing Pop Music' more commonly known as Sweden, she sings girl back ups
for "Shout Out Louds", and she is going to blow the fuck up in the US (Just take a look at her SXSW schedule!). Also realize that her name
phonetically pronounced sounds out to be "Likely". Now see, the whole thing is just becoming a little to "cutsie-pie" for me...I JUST got over
the catastrophe that was 'Juno'. Oh, Juno, Don't get me started on Juno...and the Acadamy Awards?! Breathe...breathe...breathe...
...On the other hand here is a movie I have been waiting almost three years to finally come to fruition, at long last, it is. Check the trailer.
Song: The National - Slow Show
Not gonna say much about it except I have the highest expectations from David Gordon Green...if you need proof that this guy is one of the
most amazing directors alive you have to watch his first full length film 'George Washington'. Simple, beautiful, haunting, and all that stuff
that makes you feel. Texas really breeds a certain type with a lust for big beautiful images and simple, thoughtful script.
Four Tet is a talanted producer of electronic music if I may sound so bland this song is from his remix album which NEEDS to be checked out in its entirety, the whole album is dope, but there are some lush stand outs - Sia, Bloc Party, & Aphex Twin having the most lush tracks. But the rest stays up to par with usual Four Tet happenings. I posted the Bloc Party one, and listen for more on my upcoming Viva-Radio playlist this Thursday @ 11AM! (Shameless plugs here and there never hurt, ok).
