Seriously ?






(this last one is via womanonfire, thank you :D)

"Pour Fragile(s), Marie Gillain s'est teinte en blonde et incarne une toxicomane paumée."

La question est : le blond est-il la couleur de la toxicomane paumée ?



Et sinon, à propos de poils jaunes, le nouveau Eric & Ramzy est réalisé par un certain Quentin Dupieux, auteur d'une célèbre publicité pour des pantalons, et de la musique qui l'accompagnait.



Les plus agés d'entre-vous auront reconnu Mr Oizo...
non mais je dis "les plus agés d'entre-vous" parce que j'ai déjà entendu sur une radio djeunz un animateur expliquer "pour les plus jeunes" qui étaient Suede, et que l'annonce de la reformation de The Verve (tiens un groupe en The) "réjouira", d'après le journal du jour, "les nostalgique des années 90". Donc il faut se faire à l'évidence, nous appartenons déjà à une autre époque, que les moins de 20 ans ne peuvent pas connaitre etc.
Et puis après tout, les gosses nés en 1990 vont être majeurs l'année prochaine...
Voilà, ça c'était le coup de massue finale.

Revenons à nos poils jaunes.


C'est d'ailleurs également Quentin Dupieux qui, ô surprise, a composé la BO du film (tant qu'à faire), avec son camarade Sébastien Tellier.
J'espère (pour ceux qui vont voir le film) que c'est un peu moins répétitif que leur précédente collaboration, un morceau qui durait 2 minutes de trop

Je préférais quand l'un se contentait de réaliser les clips de l'autre.

Par exemple, ( La ritournelle )

Remember Pleix's e-baby video ?





Here is Osaka University’s CB2, "Child-robot with Biomimetic Body"



he's scarycute !

More of my sound/vision prototypes, linked to what i'll show at my school jurys on the 7th and the 15th.

This one is about translating sounds into gibberish text (based on the attack and frequency).


Pan Sonic - Kuumuudessa


Motor - Sweatbox

Some Max/MSP + Jitter experiments, for a school project

It's not meant to be "music videos", but rather a capture of a real time process


Protogroup - 8 bit heart

http://www.thinner.cc/releases.php?r=apl037




Arpanet - No Boundry Condition

mhh.. i'm not sure but it looks desynched...

I love it for 2 reasons

1) It's one of those hypno-repetitive electro tracks like Vitalic's La Rock or, to a certain extend, T. Raumschmiere stuff

2) Totally abstract sound visualization (that doesn't look like a windows media player preset)... it's exactly what i'm working on those days (and i'm due to post you videos before the end of the month)

Egyptian Lover - Freak-a-holic (1986)


Yeah, it's SO 80s

Einsteinbot !

the head, i think is by Hanson Robotics, who also made this creepy.. thing

It ain't really daily, is it ? :p

Episode 6 : Sosies

today, nothing rare, but still one of my favourite music video ever : Pulp's Bad Cover Version, a parody of charity supergroups
spot the celebrities, and find the 2 Jarvises (one jarvis, two jarvises, right ?)

obviously from a catching videogame

Episode 3 : Tetris Comedy

it's in japanese obviously, but you don't really need to understand japanese - although i guess it's even better

Episode 2 : Limescale, Rust, Ground in Dirt and Scary Make-up

(not to mention the wig)



oh and Barry Scott has a blog, btw
http://www.barryscott.blogs.com/

it starts by "Hello Cyber Net!", which is almost as good as Teh Interweb

and unlike 99,99% of the blogs, the earliest entry is .. on the bottom of the page, not the top
go firgure...
but it's Barry Scott !

The Siamese Human Knot


I mean... dress-up + bondage à trois
how kinky, Batman !

so they're going to make a movie adaptation of the (boring) Halo videogame

i don't care much about that movie, neither am i quite optimistic about it
but it's a good opportunity to talk about the director they choosed (or, well, the latest name announced, after a looong series of other names)

Neill Blomkamp, native from South Africa, but based in Vancouver
he's not really well-known, although you might have seen his work a couple of times
in the Citroën C4 ad with the transformer dancing to Les Rythmes Digitales


or this semi-viral video that was around 3 or 4 years about, about a "Third World Robocop"


( more under the cut )


now this doesn't garantee at all that the Halo movie will be a great movie (in my opinion it's even not a good videogame :p)
(oh and the executive director is Peter "3 hours" Jackson)

blackmoth, you wanted it (me too actually), HERE IT IS

We can now post embedded videos in Livejournal posts !
from YouTube (my dear bandwidth-eater YouTube) and Photobucket (they host videos ? ah ?)

see the FAQ

and here is a test :


Great Bollywood video - thanks to chapatti

( some 80s goodness behind the cut )

and Chris Cunningham is back, with that anticipated video for a "The"-band (The Horrors) he found on Myspace (so Myspace isn't actually useless crap ?)



it's short, but energic
the cut contributes greatly to this (as usual in Cunningham's work)



it feels a little.. goth, too.. isn't it ?

it's not that surprising, after all

do you remember what he did for Auteur ?



and Placebo ?



and Madonna ?



Chris must be a closet goth, or something like that ;)


anyway, here's the LINK : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZMrwZItOGE or http://videos.antville.org/stories/1428557/
(the QT version doesn't work for me...)

i discovered it by chance on plastic_bat (via friends of friends, you know)

so obivously R. Kelly tried to make an "hip-hopera" last year

basically, it goes like this (copy-pasting from plastic-bat's entry)

"BITCH MOVE!!! she moves, and then, he looks at the cabinet,
he walks to the cabinet, he's close to the cabinet, now he's opening the cabinet."

you see ?

but it wouldn't be that great if there wasn't V I D E O S !



The Wikipedia entry about that masterpiece has links to all the videos

you can also find them (an multiple parodies) on YouTube
i watched chapters Nine, Ten and Eleven


of course, South Park had to do something about it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT6yhrTp8WM&search=Trapped%20in%20the%20Closet%22


it made my day
