VOTD: Fever Ray - Triangle Walks

The syndication of this blog has once again jumped, expanding to a few new places, so for those of you new to these posts, often you will find a new Video Of The Day featuring short clips, trailers, music videos, oddities or "insightful" news.

Today's video comes from Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife. I posted her first video at the start of the year in this earlier post.

"Triangle Walks", her third single, is a dark video with blasts of color with close imagery and the music, if you are unfamiliar with Fever Ray, is a fusion of downtempo, synths brewing an ambiance atop familiar grooves and layers with instruments and additional voices of the tribal world variety.

Enjoy "Triangle Walks" by Fever Ray



Catch Fever Ray on tour this Summer and if you reside in the states, she will be here for Autumn.


Additional note: I am planning to attend my friend Kelly Ogden's Rollerskating Bday party at The Echoplex at The Echo this evening... Should be interesting to roll all over a concert venue!
Have a great day!

POTD: Pic Of The Day: Identify

Since the previous post focused on the internet of the past... this one is conveniently a photo of the past.

I recently joined FB after being enticed by old classmates and found this 5th grade class photo, causing much laughter and tears :)

Can you spot me?

VOTD: The INTERNET from the past

The video below is a report from Tom Brokaw more than a decade ago, discussing how every company would be online by 2000.

I remember in the 80s, waiting for a few hours to be so excited to have sat with a friend and have seen a photo being sent from another friend.

We prank phoned a friend & were amused to hear her voice through the horrid computer speaker (one speaker, not two... there was no stereo option!)

My 44mb external hard drive in the 90s was several hundred dollars!
A few months ago I got a 6gig mini Sony usb drive for $6 at Frys in Burbank.

A Latino Charlie's Angels in Drag?

A Latino Charlie's Angels in drag? Sure? Get your inner diva out and check this!

Last week, I went to see David J. (Bauhaus / Love And Rockets) perform at the same venue, the Cavern Club Theater, below Casita Del Campo Restaurant in Silverlake, for "JUNE GLOOM" which was an odd spooky goth look back meets cabaret. It was hilarious as it spoofed, yet paid homage, to the tunes and fashion of the time period.

Check the trailer below for more....


The show starts tonight, 8 pm and will run until the 19th of July

“Chico’s Angels 2: Love Boat Chicas!” features Frieda Laye, Kay Sedia & Chita Par who get dolled up to solve another case on the high sea: finding out who killed superstar Charo!

VOTD: Jordan Reyne's post apocalyptica

Today's selection was suggested to me via my last.fm page

As described on Miss Jordan Reyne's page, this is "a post-apocalyptic blend of train sounds, deep bass tones and melodic vocals. a car crash combination of found-sound"

Here is a second video of her's (since you may need a chaser).
Dark and I could say languid, but it seems to focus on aspects of the human process, technology and spirit.... and a WASHING MACHINE.

You can listen to lots of her music here:

Enjoy the rest of your day!

A future post will discuss the forthcoming EMIT PEELS releases via FIXT Music.

Toy Story 3 Trailer

"I must say": I was a fan of the first TOY STORY film and even enjoyed some of the sequel, so I will certainly see the 3rd. The youtube video below displays a distant year wait to catch this.. that basically means if you blink several times... it will be 2010.
Has anyone seen UP?  I am looking forward to seeing this at El Capitan in 3D, just a short two blocks from my home.

Bonus points if you can name the person with the triangle at the top left! ;)

ROTD: Riddle Of The Day - Cats & Mice

Interview, Zeitmahl song & Party Reminder

First of all... I have so many movie reviews... that when I finally have more time, I will be posting a series of these! You have to see THE ROOM... not becuase it is good, but because it is simply one of the worst films, it is hilarious! I caught the late night screening of this on Saturday... it played on all five screens at the Sunset 5 in Hollywood and was SOLD OUT!!!

Moving along now.


AFIN featured an interview with me, focusing on my recent remix and productions. Besides a walk-through on the process of how I create a remix, there is a link to download the first newer Zeitmahl song anyone has heard in five years.
You can view this article here

This is reminder that our monthly party, FIRST FRIDAYS @ Medusa Lounge is this Friday!!!

It will be very exciting as we have tons of goodies from Free Synergy Drinks, Kombucha Tea, Free CDs, your chance to win tickets to see The Orb & Peter Murphy (We have lots of tickets to give away), Miss DJ Vixen Van Go Go from Philadelphia and all of this is FREE if you RSVP and arrive on time!


On Friday, I am hoping to debut my remix for the new Fischerspooner song, "We Are Electric", so if you are a fan, you will be the first to hear it!

I am presently at work, so I must go and watch this airplane get blown up a few times now!
