The song is growing on me and the video quite strange.
Kylie Minogue’s New “All The Lovers” Video
May 31st, 2010 • Music Video •
Love the new Kylie Minogue video for the first single off her new album, titled Aphrodite, coming out on June 6th. Might seem like an underwear or perfume commercial at first, but it keeps getting better.

Experimental animation by Max Max Hattler based on based on the French Spiritualist artist Augustin Lesage’s painting A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World’ from 1925.
Tastes Like Caribou
May 22nd, 2010 • Auditory •
The new album Swim, from Caribou, was released this week and although it’s a good album and reminds me a little of the Knife’s earlier work, it’s not a dance album. Dan Snaith (Caribou), talks about making the new dance album in a Pithchfork article.
I got excited by the idea of making dance music that’s liquid in the way it flows back and forth, the sounds slosh around in pitch, timbre, pan… Dance music that sounds like it’s made out of water, rather than made out of metallic stuff like most dance music does.
I like the concept, but there isn’t one track that is going to get a dance floor moving, unless it’s the end of the night and you want the floor to be moving it’s way to the door.
Lights Out

Great little animation by Cormac Kelly that could actually be a visual metaphor for the banking industry.

Goldfrapp Bites
May 20th, 2010 • Music Video •
Actually I think Goldfrapp is great but watch the new video for Alive and you will understand.
Helping Johnny Remember
May 18th, 2010 • Film & Video •
I’m glad I never had to endure social engineering films as a kid, although I have watched quite a few as an adult because I find them funny and often creepy. Ashleigh Nankivell takes the creepy to a whole new level revealing something more sinister in both the collective belonging as well as the individualistic identities in her remix of the short film “Helping Johnny Remember” which was originally from 1956.
Face Down in a Book
May 13th, 2010 • Photography •
I don’t know how many times I have fallen asleep with my face in a book, although lately I’m falling asleep with my laptop. I know I’m gonna kill it that way and have to go back to reading books before bed.
Check out this whimsical series of photos titled Get Back in Your Book from Canadian photographer Lissy Elle.

Daydreaming Playlist
May 5th, 2010 • Auditory •
It’s been a while since I put out a playlist and I wanted to share some new mixes and artists with you. A couple of songs you may have already heard, like the TV spot favorite Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap or Miike Snow’s Sylvia, but I thought the remixes were worthy of posting.
