Radiohead in Concert

What a brilliant video of Radiohead playing Reading last year.

Have to say that I’m loving the new YouTube layout and embedding controls, the HTML5 version is also looking good.

Just headed over to Youtube to watch the video for Stylo, the new Gorillaz single. For some reason they’ve disabled embedding so here’s a still and yes, that is Bruce Willis. Best musical project he’s worked on since Return of The Bruno.

Gil Scott Heron's I'm New Here

I'm New Here album cover

RAD, not something I was expecting to see but there’s a new Gil Scott-Heron album on the way, it’s entitled I’m New Here out on the 8th of February on XL Recordings.

As far as I was aware he’s been in and out of prison for the last decade or so so I’m glad he’s got it together to release some new material.

The 101 Best Music Videos of the Decade

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Just read this article The 101 Best Music Videos of the Decade which has the videos for some great work. No surprise there’s a bag full of Michel Gondry videos, including the winning entry ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’ for the White Stripes, although I was quite surprised that the video for Around the World by Daft Park doesn’t make the list.

So rare I even see music videos these days apart from on YouTube perhaps, was just trying to remember when I last saw a music video on the TV and I honestly cannot remember. Oh no, hang on, it was a clip of a Katherine Jenkins video which is a cover of some shite Evanescence song and it was a total load of bollocks, the song and the video.

I can’t even believe I just made the effort to find it on YouTube.

It’s Friday afternoon and I’m in a rockin’ kind of mood, I think I want this played at my funeral. Can’t believe it’s over 20 years ago since the first Pixies album came out.

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry.

Unkle Video

Unkle – Heaven Remix from We Love You So on Vimeo.

Just found myself over at the Spike Jonze blog and saw this video for Unkle, saw the original footage from Fully Flared a while ago and thought it was great, as is this video; skateboarding, explosions and music from Unkle.

Hosoi: Widow Maker 1993

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

Just headed over to the Thrasher website and saw they have a new video player. No bad thing, I used to hate the Quick Time movies they had, so slow. This is some RAD footage of Christian Hosoi, that benihana! Holmes.

There’s also an Hosoi interview on the Fuel.tv website.

This is some astonishing footage of big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom from the BBC.

P.S. Adidas interview with the Gonz & Guy Mariano part 9 on Epicly Later’d.

Just booked tickets to see Omar Souleyman and Group Doueh at the end of May at the Tufnel Park Dome. The concert has been organised by the Sublime Frequencies record label.

Should be a great gig.
