the video for fujiya & miyagi’s song “collarbone” uses animated child-style crayon drawings. there’s a soccer game and some friendly animals, but then everything turns… violent. i didn’t see that coming!

fujiya & miyagi are from england, even though their name is japanese. they do krautrock stereolab groove music. i really like this song…

i posted this to videosift but it didn’t get enough votes…

jan jelinek, from “loop finding jazz records”. i love this kind of quiet, dark microhouse music.

(originally posted to videosift by farhad, the leader of the obscure).

brilliant synchronized dance by two guys wearing brown jumpsuits and nintendo power gloves. the song is from 1999.

their name means “sex for fun”. the song is from the album citrus (2006).

hazy & gorgeous…

it was cold yesterday for the first day of spring. it looks like it’s going to get warmer today (high of plus 4). so let’s start all over again, shall we?

i hope you all have a happy second day of spring!

madeleine peyroux covers elliott smith’s “between the bars”. she is an american jazz singer who has spent a long time busking in paris. her voice reminds me of billie holiday. this is a fan video shot in paris. very very beautiful.
