When you unexpectedly find exactly what you need at this very moment: 26/04/2016 21:36. Dreaming big. Dream hopping. Tuesday chill zoning.



Please hear more sounds from CloZee.

the video opens on an interior | the scene then cuts to

"The video opens on an interior. It is New York. We see David Swan, practicing diligently.

The scene then cuts to Emmy The Great, and both men, cheering loudly. Then, Emmy the great is seen wearing the hooded figure in the dark sky.

In the chorus, Emmy The Great lip-synchs to the camera, dancing romantically with a bra. Then, Emmy The Great destroys the pair angrily with both men.

The video ends in a desk. Emmy The Great is shown waving sadly to the fairytale prince."

Now that's a concept: Daniel Swan and Emmy The Great are teaming up. And then it gets better: you can generate your own music video plot as seen above and below: music video machine. Goodbye boredom.



I've got to find a place for the love I have within
pumping through my heart like an algorithm

fight me, deny me

New place, new people, new tasks, new movies, new routes. But also looking back and revisiting old corners. This was already 10 years ago: CSS from Cansei de Ser Sexy.



Please meet the director of the video Cat Solen.

came by plane all alone (...)

come and attack me it's not gonna hurt
fight me, deny me (...)

let's make love and listen death from above 

tapping into my spine | I am chemistry

Yeasayer's new album is in stores today. No joke. Some parts serve as quite elaborative chemistry revision. No complain. Just like sarin, it puts you on your knees. Now we can all tap those tunes into our spines. We are a chemistry. Amen & Goodbye.



I'm digoxin from the foxglove plant
the last remaining VX from Anniston
I'm an ACN and I'm DDT
tap into your spine
I am a chemistry

it's a gas, a sarin for high tea
a C4H10FO2P puts you on your knees
a sulfur dichloride with ethylene
I say it again: I am a chemistry

makin' 'em proud like the real thing

There are no words to express my love for tUne yArDs. It's not real. Just what is...



just what is the real thing? 
don't call my the real thing 
the search for the real thing 
the curse of the real thing 
I come from the land of shame
blood and guts are all I claim, singing

where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth

A bizarrely sunny day ended with the most spectacular live music vibes that appear in the universe most probably once every four years. Also, I had a smoothie. And great people by my side. We're gold that's as bright as hell's own flame.



Please meet the director of the video Kendy Ty.

remember when no one danced the same
we all had a voice
we had a name
we're gold that's as bright as hell's own flame
forgive me, for I have lost my way (...)

oh raise me up, oh raise me from the dirt
each second is a high point of concern
where we're going to, you can't bring all your worth

pop-up cinema

I am so happy today. Like it almost feels unreal. And then this tune came by. A pop-up cinema remains on my still growing to-do list. Think about it. I am doing it.



Please meet the creators of the video: Noah Campeau and Jack Wolf. Additional Camera work and direction by Yaschar Scheyda. For more sounds from Tropics, click here.

space pop

Revisiting works of Yoshi Sodeoka. Unmistakable. As always. Here he's teaming up with Ice Cream Cathedral. Now I'm in serious need of some gigs. LIVE. MUSIC. NOW.



ps. And I just realised that's actually my 500th post in here. Now... let's dance.

something different | something new

New perspective. Movie. Good talks. Good people. City. Walk. Tuning into my days off. Abundance. New music. New visions. Clock Opera's new album. November at its best.



"To coincide with the release, the band are also sharing a set of short, beautifully-shot, documentaries that offer a behind-the-scenes view in to their world as they craft what will become the new album." via Gold Flake Paint

at the end of the summer break

Mélissa Laveaux serves all these feelings perfectly. As usual. And I long for more.



Please meet the director of the video Bastien Roger.

got to catch that buzz

Brought back to the 1980' today. Catching that buzz. Grace Jones is still a drug.

days in longing

Perfect evening. City. Good people. Red moon. Brilliance and honesty in music.



I spend my days in longing,
and wondering why it's me you're wronging

on the search for female emcees

This summer could not have been better. My itinerary for the upcoming autumn has been updated and so has the concert calendar. Bliss. And gratefulness. Kudos to Akua Naru. KUDOS. I am listening.

springworlds | invented

Springworlds envisioned by Dan W. Jacobs. Brilliantly. As always. Winter tamed.



Behind the Inventions there are two minds: Matthew Cooper and Mark T. Smith.

we need to sleep | we need to eat | we need music

This is exactly how I envisioned this. DJ Koze's and Caribou's life advice: sleep, eat, music. Perfect vision blend.



The video was directed by Donal Dineen and assisted by Hector Castells and Myles O'Reilly.

our love

Caribou teaming up with Owen Pallet. Canadian at its best. Dream. Love. Dream.



The artwork is by Jason Evans / Matthew Cooper.

come be on my team

Revising the works of Dan W Jacobs and Cymbals for some colour comfort.

Khalil Fong | bow tie

Khalil Fong. Just two words: Khalil Fong. Plus I want that bow tie.



"How you write Chinese lyrics to match an R&B melody—it's tricky, and not too many lyricists can do it. Sometimes I just have to do it myself. It's not about skill—it's more about the background of culture and the sound of rhyme." Khalil Fong via WSJ. More here.

a good vibe mix from JPOD

Blending like no-one else: JPOD. The Andrews Sisters served stylishly & solidly.
