You guys remember myspace? Walking down memory lane, just remember how we checked our profile every morning and that inexpressible satisfaction, when we had the “comment approval” alerts after we logged in. In the early days, when it was not yet en vogue to disable HTML for commenting, cheesiness sometimes knew no limits, thinking about the infamous “thanks for adding me” templates, or the numerous “pimp my profile” editors.
Some people even had friends (or more likely knew someone, whose sister had a friend that knew someone) who really used these glitter rose, kissing dolphin – sundown gif animations to show their gratitude to the ones that just accepted their friend requests.
Why am I telling you all this? Well, Hype Williams just did M.I.A.‘s XXXO music video that is an overboarded reminiscence to exactly that time, meeting all your long-lost diamond-panthers, gold-roses and bling-bling fonts… and last but not least: the goddamn swans!

Hey Pink-Pongs,

A colleage of us filmed & cutted a nice video of that Booom Club that we did at the 29th of may. You can also view that moving picture on Youtube. See how u got drunk and jumped all around – we liked that party so much that we plan to do it again: Next date is the 16th of octobre!!

If you need someone to tape your next video then contact us and we forward it to our friend.

Good Night.

New video and track of Flying Lotus from his newest longplayer Cosmogramma.

First of all I thought “ohhh nooo, please don’t show me the outer space anymore in an experimental & psychedelic track. There are too much of these artists using this vibe to visualize their music.” But then the video-makers aka Special Problems put in some sequences of a jump & run 8bit game which I liked a lot… You are thinking, okay… retro games are also nothing special in this genre but I like the combination and there also some other cool elements – It’s a greater journey as I thought of before into the fantastic sound-world of Flying Lotus. Big like!

EIN WUNDERBARER FILM.

First is the new Mystery Jets single “Dreaming of Another World” and guess what? The last time I listened to them was when they were “Half in Love with Elizabeth” – not to forget the really great Dolorean Remix which was the Soundtrack to my summer two(!) years ago. So my expectations were quite high but they didn’t fail – no, they got a new song which could become part of the soundtrack to my summer-days 2010. Directed by Yoann Lemoine.

Second video comes along with Breakbot‘s nice and easy electronic sunshine track called “Baby I’m Yours”. The special thing ’bout the video is, that it’s painted frame per frame which means that it includes 2000(!) watercolored paintings by Irina Dakeva – spreads also a great summer-feeling und much love. Produced by Wizz.

Third and last video is made for the newcomer’s (don’t know if they are, but for me they are…) FM Belfast and their track “Underwear”. To describe the video I just want to quote Stereogum: “This video has lots of fun dancing but also strikes an eerie note, since it focuses on the ideas that a) lots of people dance alone b) in their underwear and c) not many people look beautiful dancing, especially once they’re slowed down, sped up, or frozen. The result, however, is quite beautiful: Intimate, lonely, and still fun.” Directed is this piece of beauty by Daniel Schreinert.

Hope you had some fun watching my fav’s and liked this kind of music-video post. What are your actual summer-tracks? Tell me in the comments! I wish you lot’s of sunshine and love – Felix

with watching just one video, roman königshofer made me miss holidays. exploring new cultures. with its own smell and taste. and of cuz the sea. don´t get me wrong – i love berlin. especially in the summer. and i love my job. but i miss exploration and surfing. check this video and you´ll understand what i feel…

Romain Gavras did it again! The director of the new M.I.A. vid has finished a new masterpiece. After the incredible ‘Stress’ vid for Justice he comes up with a over-brutal shortmovie which shows in 09:06min a scenario which is worldwide known as Genocide! Fucking disturbing material…

A girl fell in love with a book

A king fell in love with a girl

And a fairytale became real“

…für die glitzerndsten aller Filmperlen soll ganz tief im Schrank des letzten Jahrhunderts gewühlt werden:

Auf einmal aber zwitschern die Vögel. In dieser grauen Wolkendecke ein Loch, das sich befreiend in den Himmel frisst und ihn zum Strahlen bringt. Weites Blau. Sonnenschein.

Ein Jedermann ist und begibt sich aus dem Häuschen, rennt mit ausgestreckten Armen durch die Gassen, leckt sich auf die Haut rieselnde Sonne von den Fingern, Frühstück auf dem Balkon, Kurzarmshirt! Wir spielen auf den Strassen und tanzen auf dem Spielplatz, scheinen und funkeln und blinzeln und strahlen… Guten Morgen Frühling.
