Dub Sweden - We're so loud [Dir: David Giese]
The latest musicvideo from this Swedish melodic pop-band. I really like the song and the video is pretty cool to.

I don't know!
Hey hey happy campers!
Can anyone remember a really unsettling music video/song from about five or six years ago that had a feller made up to look like a cow with horns an whatnot and he was hanging around in a really filthy looking public bathroom? It was quite a minimalist song and I think it was by a German band, but I can't remember what it or they were called?
Balun - Cuidado Al Caminar (DIR: Joel Perez Irizarry)
Cuidado Al Caminar (Be Careful When You Walk). This is just about the sweetest video you could see. It draws a bit form Blur's "Coffee and TV", without the budget.
If you're into Broken Social Scene and lo-fi bands, you should check out Balun. There's some MP3s at their site, and a few songs at MySpace.

EDIT: Any feedback? I, perhaps rather inncoently, expected some. Please do give me your thoughts on the film in the comments section.
The film is a modern-day silent film. It was commissioned by John Perrine, who performs the live, semi-improvised soundtrack. The soundtrack as you will hear it here was recorded at the film's premiere.
In the so-called silent-era, filmmaking was expensive, and not as democratic a form as today. To that end, Dirty Rotten Double Crosser was shot only with domestic equipment and on a budget of a little over twenty dollars. These politics informed the narrative of the film somewhat, also.
Again, in the silent-era, the musical accompaniment of a film was not directed in the way it is today, with the mute film going out into the world to meet it's soundtrack only upon screening. Similarly, there were no explicit instructions given to John Perrine on how to handle or approach his music, with any information, clues or suggestions to guide him worked into the film, it's editing, the actions performed.
Pleasingly, he picked up on around of three quarters of these "clues" very clearly, as well as developing the score into unexpected areas occasionally.
I am particularly proud of this film as, as well as it's own particular story and ideas, it proves once again that film is a collaborative medium, and that the marriage of sound and image - which is what this site is all about - is almost endlessly rich in possibility.

Jason's finally finished the new vervein video. The song's not really my thing, but I like the way it all looks...
