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.

norwegian bands together
= bliss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
what else...oh, !!! isn't from Scandinavia, but they have a new album, and a beautiful new website!
cats and wolves!!! playing music!!! aaaaaa!
check it out here!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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!

thursday thoughts
First of all, something to make you laugh:
SCREW YOU, KIDS!!!
and something to make you cry, or yell, or something:
Cat Power - I Don't Blame You (Live on Jools Holland)
I just was blessed to see this lady in concert. Having been a Cat Power fan for well over four years now, I was both surprised and spellbound by the pure unmitigated humanity in Chan Marshall's voice. This was all the more impressive as the diminutive lady was feverish and nauseous, as was much of her band...I can only imagine what she would be like operating at 100%. At some point someone gave her a bandanna to wear to ward of the chills she was experiencing on stage. Later it turned out the bandanna came from everyone's favorite flanneur Blond Dan. Gotta love indie rock crushes...
Throughout the concert, Chan Marshall moved about the stage like some sort of modern-day Janis Joplin, but more quaintly deranged fairy than total drugged-out lost soul. Prior to performing "Naked if I want to" (my favorite track from The Covers Record) she took a break and summoned her energy by performing some sort of dance crossed between flamenco and tai chi. It was if she was drawing energy and light out of the air to channel into herself so she could keep herself going for the crowd.
It's the kind of thing I'll be doing for the next little while in order to process my thoughts and warm my nights.
"We've lived in bars
And danced on tables
Hotel trains and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes out of here"
