part I

part II

amazing… i especially like part I.

giovanni sollima is a cellist and post-minimalist composer. part I is his song “Terra Aria” and part II is “Concerto Rotondo”.

this video was directed by lasse gjertsen, who is famous for his homemade youtube videos, like “amateur”:

i love this — it’s a great song. he says he can’t play the piano or the drums, but he’s an amazing musician anyway, just from editing.

you can see more lasse gjertsen on videosift.

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!
