Video: Flight Of The Concords

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

I am off to NZ later this month, and to celebrate I’ve been watching a hell of a lot of Concords clips. Here is a particularly funny collection of the best Aussie V’s Kiwi moments from Season One.

(I got a talking to last night at work for laughing too loud and annoying a developer…so I best stick to watching at home from now on!)

That reminds me, if you have yet to check out the new Beached Az videos at ABC, go here! I highly recommend the making of vids (which are a web exclusive). You’ll be speaking in a New Zealanderised accent in no time.

Challenge Your World 20/20 is a yearly event bringing together video artists to create short films imagining machines solving environmental issues. This years crop is pretty amazing.

Video: Coin Laundry

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I have no idea who Lisa Mitchell is. Apparently she was on Australian Idol, but I am going to choose to ignore that and focus on her awesomeness.

I caught her on JTV this week singing Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet and it blew my mind (see it here, shameless iView plug). It’s unusual for me to enjoy that whole aussie female folky singer thing, but something about Lisa Mitchell is just so, well, cute. Take her clip for her new single, Coin Laundry. We all want to be the girl that you met at the coin laundry…

Video (and babe) of The Week

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Cheatahs - Warrior.

Directed by Alex Turvey. From his website:

It was over mushrooms on toast that Nathan and I decided to recreate his childhood portfolio of animal illustrations on a mammoth scale. Originally rendered in pencil under the guidance of a trailer-park drawing class in Edmonton, Canada, when Nathan was just seven years old, the repertoire of very strange-looking owls, lions, lynxes, polar bears and monkeys were painstakingly copied from wildlife photographs. In honour of such young talent, we decided to create Nathan’s Place, a huge 2D landscape of his childhood animals, and an homage to Canadian children’s TV host, Fred Penner (who climbed through logs into magical worlds, and had an enviable collection of wooly jumpers).

Babes.

Video: Julian Casablancas - Phrazes For The Young

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

It seems not even The Stokes frontman Julian Casablancas is immune to the sweet sounds of synth, if his new project is anything to go by. I stumbled across this video as I was listening to the latest Are We Alone? podcast and it took me away to a time of space travel and youth and endless possibilities (and Jules, of course - Dreamy).

This video is amazing. Apparently an album will follow later this year.

Oh and look, YouTube let me customise it’s embedded player now, still looks ugly though, don’t cha think?

Video: Dappled Cities ‘The Price’

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I love a good Dappled power ballad, and their latest ‘The Price’ is no exception. Tim rocks out hard in this song, and the film clip is really rad in a hotchip/daft punk kinda way.

Video: Red Riders ‘Ordinary’

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

You may remember wayyy back in Issue One we interviewed the guys from Moop Jaw about making music videos and loving technology.

You may have also heard the sweet sounds of the latest Red Rider’s single on the radio.

Well, combine these two good things, and you’ve got the video for ‘Ordinary’. See if you can recognise some local Sydney streets along the way!

Video: Buffy V’s Edward Cullen

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

This is probably how most normal girls would react to Edward Cullen’s stalking habits.
