…but this groovy song kicked me right there. Don’t ask.

This _____________ (couldn’t find the right adjective) video is a fine visual representation to my love and hate relations with Animal Collective. I always found their music brilliant but just… too much. Too many layers of sound that end up feeling too schizophrenic and/or pretentious to the average non-hipster ears. That tilt from good to [...]

Couple of weeks ago I started a little experiment to test the new hype and obsession with the Stream Theory. Quick reminder: The next phase of media, I’ve been thinking, will be after the page and after the site. Media can’t expect us to go to it all the time. Media has to come to [...]

For the Nokia Music project we are launching this week (will tell you more later) we got ourselves shiny 5800 Comes with Music edition. It’s a fantastic device but what I most liked about it was the guitar plectrum attached to the string that comes with the handset. Nice simple touch. Everything communicates and the [...]

The balloon race is over, so it’s a good time to introduce to you a new community project we just launched for Orange on Last.FM, probably my favourite social web platform. A bit of a background: Live music scene is in the middle of a boom period with a higher than ever number of sold-out [...]

Fleet Foxes – Ragged Wood The new darlings of indie-folk-rock, Fleet Foxes are well worth the hype. I saw them live last week and it was absolutely incredible. These remarkable vocal harmonies back with clouds of organs, tom-toms, bells and assorted stringed instruments creating rich, swirling heartwarming melodies. It’s hard to believe that this mature, [...]

I was never really into Sigur Ros but their new music video is inspired by, and made in collaboration with the amazing, Ryan McGinley. It contains his signature style with naked teens running, falling from the sky, making love, dancing, playing…it’s bursting with youth erotic energies and raw sensuality…it’s truly mesmerising. [note: this is a [...]
