Music is my maker. Wait, that's not right. Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day weekend. I didn't have any green beer. I can't drink anyway. I uploaded this video about a week ago but never got to post it. Röyksopp's What Else Is There. It came out a couple of years ago but I think this particular video is one of the more memorable. Not that I watch and keep up with today's music/music videos, but this one simply appeals to me. It sorta reminds me of the video from This Mortal Coil's Acid, Bitter & Sad - being dark, brooding and having that muddy yet ethereal-like quality.
The director of WEIT Martin De Thurah also did Carpark North's Human, which I posted some time last year. He also did the 2 'car crash' commercials which I absolutely love. Guess I'll repost on a rainy day. Just can't get enough. But what do you care, right? ahaha!
This gives me inspiration. Often enough I post material that I find free-spirited!! Remember the one photographer who inscribed the word ENCHANT on a tiny pollen? Or the other photographer who took pictures of small children... I find them very much mesmerizing.
Boy this is a drab post innit? Do you have a favourite music video/director/photographer if any?? Hope you're having a good Monday and somewhat entertained by this! (-:

Well, you must know all the music I love! LOL!
as far as vid clip directors go -- I think I would never want to miss anything Chris Cunningham creates! ...beautifully horrible!
Yeah, I think he did a couple of Bjork's and Aphex Twin's videos! I think for a long while it was Brothers Quay for me... who did the 2 videos for HNIA! I was floored when I first saw [and heard] them! heh!

Take care,

Ever seen the video of Mars Volta's Televators? It's dark, creepy, and very thought-provoking, soul-stirring. That moved me. I loved the music and the video.
I will most certainly check that out today! Thanks for the tip Jenn. I hope you're having a fantastic trip! Give your mum a hug for me!
