Repo Man

The website Aquarium Drunkard is a beautifully written treasure trove of a website for music. It’s an mp3 blog with real soul.

The Golem: How He Came into the World

The idea of rescoring classic cinema is becoming increasingly common but I missed this. In 2008 Pixies main man Black Francis rescored the 1920s German expressionist classic The Golem: How He Came Into The World.

Damn You Noah Baumbach

Mogwai – Burning

If you’re into Music, love short films and regularly visit Directors Notes, then it’s more than likely you’ve seen (or at least heard of) the fantastic Take Away Shows.

Heaven can Wait

Not content with  starring in the most controversial film of the year, actress and daughter of famous French actor/singer Serge Gainsbourg, Charlotte Gainsbourg has teamed up with Beck to release her 3rd music album. If the music is as strange and innovative as the video, it could well be one of the albums of next year.

DN EP 123: Place – Matt Clugston

[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Set a film to the sounds of the never far from my recent playlist Boards of Canada and you run the risk of provoking hatred if you fail to do the track justice or lavish praise if you pull off a seamless marriage of sound and vision. Place created [...]
