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...

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
