wednesday afternoon musicart jam

first off, SCANDINAVIA RULES!!!

look at this really beautiful and fun stop-action drawing animation from Swedish duo Minilogue:



the artwork is done by a swedish illustrator named Kristofer Ström.

he also has a lovely website that details his (really rad and diverse!) work and interviews in many style/art/life magazines and blogs.

and...Did I just have an AUDIO ORGASM!?!?

It's Erlend Oye-fronted awesomeness band The Whitest Boy Alive covering Robin S.'s "show me love"...



From the same concert, at Iceland's Airwaves Festival, they also cover "I like to Move it", "I've got the power" and "Music Sounds Better With You"...which, now that we are on the topic, is totally one of my top 10 disco house party anthems of all time...

GENIUS MUCH?!?!

Of course now I have to go home and scan a picture of the lady raving from like '99...Yes. I am going to do it, so don't try and stop me.

More from the Whitest Boy Alive..."golden cage" is my current song obsession, which incidentally has a really really cool video.

basically, europe rules.

QUOOB.TV

this is a great Italian music/film/art site with new uploads and a great user interface. Basically YouTube for Europeans, but with way better organization and way less videos of skateboarding dogs. What, you don't understand Italian? Neither do I, but I can figure out most of this site due to my knowledge of Spanish and French...heh.

i dare you to not spend way too much time on this site. I DARE YOU!

love and bubbles
