video selection #3.

here are some very good videos to look at.

Out Of A Forest from Tobias Gundorff Boesen on Vimeo.

out of a forest . animation by tobias gundorff bosen # music by the national ' slow show '

i would like to state that this video has been cutely made, but it's obviously not cute, isn't it? i mean... while some rabbits are having a good time remembering the old times a bad wolf/monster/thing/evil rabbit? is plotting a murder. kudos to tobias gundorff boesen for doing such an excellent job designing and directing such a wonderful movie... stop-motion ingeniousity! another plus is: the music just fits!

Bowerbirds "In Our Talons" from Alan Poon on Vimeo.

bowerbirds . in our talons

another stopmotion video. quite spectacular one! and the music is raaaaaad. makes me want to dance around even though i'd have more important things to do.

ezra furman & the harpoons . take of your sunglasses

i like bob dylan. a lot. so it's somehow very natural that i like these guys as well.
hello yellow rayban glasses, won't you be my sunglasses for this summer?

70 Million by Hold Your Horses ! from L'Ogre on Vimeo.

hold your horses . 70 million

famous paintings are newly interpreted here and it's quite hilarious! watch this, it's worth it, haha <3

nina hagen . tv-glotzer

huge, huge idol of mine. since i was a child, because my parents were/are fans. she's crazy, at least far more than any lady gaga you've ever seen, haha.

ok go . this too shall pass

this here is simply amazing because of the domino effects. can you imagine the hugeness of the building? i tend to envision a building sized like... a football stadium?

son house . death letter

a very old goodie. and a song to think about. ( have you noticed the extreme changes in my musical tastes? one time it's happy go round and the other time it's let me die soon. but in EVERY song there is a deeper meaning for me... )

the white stripes . death letter (live)

and here's the crazy cover done by my most favourite band! oh and how chubby you are mr. white, haha <3

marilyn manson . i put spell on you

i love the song 'i put a spell on you' in general, there are SO MANY versions of it. manson's version is more on the very sick side of interpretation. and the video reminds me of my so beloved 20ies/30ies silent movies! and that is a HUGE plus for me there, you know!

lhasa de sela . con toda palabra

very calming, very balming song! the video is inspired by religion with walking on water and all.

o.children . ruins

the singer's voice i damn great! kind of like a nick cave voice he has, doesn't he? I LOVE NICK CAVE. but this band is kicking your ass as well.

janis joplin = legend. and since summer time is in the air, it's only natural to play this song. all day long, longing for summer to come...

jonna lee . violent playground ( nitzer ebb cover )

this is pure magic.
(ha and for all guys out there: she's NEKKIDDDDD! :P )
but the song's so otherworldly beautiful!

bonobo . eyesdown

another song to dream to. the dress that woman is wearing here is unbelieveable.

dark dark dark . wild goose chase

ha... now i'm not leaving dream land anymore... i'm sorry, but there is nothing to say, because... these songs speak for themselves.

Benjamin Biolay 'Padam' from mmparis on Vimeo.

benjamin biolay . padam

let's dance again! okay you don't have to dance like the guy in the video ( that was the thing what finally caught me for the song. first he is all normal and such and suddenly he wents all crazy, haha :D ).

i guess, that's it again.
wish you a nice weekend!

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere. rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
