Blur+Sharpen
my regrets for not posting a link, but since there are alot of people posting their own work on this site I figured I would post this open call for a screening series in Los Angeles for new Digital Avant-Garde work.
Call for Submissions: Blur+Sharpen Digital Screening Series
Blur + Sharpen is a monthly screening series at the University of Southern California, dedicated to showcasing recent, experimental digital media art that hovers at the intersection of design, motion graphics, animation and video.
We are currently seeking submissions for our Fall 2005 screenings. This season, we will be presenting a series of theme-driven programs of short-form work that explore questions of hybridity, synthesis, space, time, bodies, and computationally enabled aesthetics.
Blur+Sharpen was founded in 2001 and is currently sponsored by the Institute for Multimedia Literacy at USC’s School of Cinema-Television. The series is co-curated by Steve Anderson, Peter Oleksik and Holly Willis and is free and open to the public. In addition to having their work seen by an active community of faculty, students and media makers, accepted contributors will receive a copy of the program disk and have shipping/duplication costs reimbursed. There is no fee to submit work to Blur+Sharpen.
Please submit work on DVD, NTSC miniDV or VHS to:
Blur+Sharpen Institute for Multimedia Literacy University of Southern California 746 W. Adams Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90049 213-743-1933
If you would like to have your submission returned, please include a postage-paid, self-addressed envelope.
The submission deadline for the first program is October 15, 2005, however materials received after that date will be considered for future screenings. Works no longer than 20 minutes are preferred; longer submissions will be considered.
Please include the following information with your submission:
Name of creator(s) Mailing address City, State & zip Phone number Email address

Anathallo "Hoodwink"

The quality and angles aren't amazing, but the band itself is at least something to check out. They are very original.
Wishful Thinking by The Ditty Bops
Purveying an utterly charming sound that borrows from folk, pop, Western swing, and early vocal jazz, Los Angeles' fancifully named Ditty Bops feature the tightly woven harmonies of Amanda Barrett - who also handles mandolin and dulcimer duties - and Abby DeWald - who also plays guitar. Though Barrett and DeWald met in New York City in the late '90s, they didn't begin playing music until they moved back to California. Barrett spent her childhood in Topanga and learned to play fretted dulcimer when she was six, then moved to Europe to model as a teen before moving to New York in her early twenties. DeWald, meanwhile, grew up in northern California and took piano lessons as a child; growing up in a house where only classical was played, she nevertheless developed a fascination with ragtime music and electric blues.

sebastien tellier 'la ritournelle' dir. by ace norton
one of the best songs to come out this year?
DJ Daz - The Woah Song (bootleg video)
the song samples Tarzan Boy by Baltimora and has a rap including the line "this is a dance track, not a slow jam". This should tell you everything you need to know about it.
The video is "unofficial" and presumably completely illegal/infringing numerous copyrights, but very funny - basically involves DJ Daz's head stuck over some of the most mysoginstic rapper's videos.
Warning: naked lady in bath near end
Animal Collective - The Purple Bottle
It's more of a filmed preformance than a video, but meh? Just wanted to post up some more Animal Collective. Stuff's exciting!
