http://pitchfork.com/news/43253-pitchfork-music-festival-2011-video-portraits/ –  So i’m a year late, and several dollars short but thought i’d share this for posterity.

I know it’s been a while but today I thought I’d share some music.  It’s pretty weird, right.  So being the savvy person you are I’m sure you’re already well aware of Major Lazer.  They’re the collaborative brainchild of Diplo & Switch, presented through their Mad Decent label.  At first it took me a while [...]

Allo allo! And thank you all for your continued support during those droughts we sometimes experience here at the Carbon/Nation/SplashFantastic HQ!
This was linked off my Twitter account the other day, and in the spirit of superiffic 3D music videos which melt our minds, I decided it was worth posting. Oh, and it’s a beautiful song, [...]

Some of you may know I have a soft spot for music. These days however I’ve been quite nonplussed by the lack of quality in music videos. So when I saw this amalgamation of gorgeous 3D & sound I was quite struck. Struck by awe. Check it out for yourselves, and make sure to sit [...]

There is some seriously weird (and wonderful) stuff going on in this one. Pedigree aside, Beck’s output as of late has been astounding. Definitely a top-notch player of this past couple decades.
But I suppose that’s what you do if your entire life is related to music. Ahhh, one can only dream…

I first heard this killer trio on a Radiohead covers compilation called Exit Music: Songs with Radioheads where they do a flawless rendition of Karma Police, complete with one insane crescendo. Well, here’s a few tunes they’ve done since then. You may recognize a few of the following tunes, as they seem to enjoy doing [...]

It looks as though From The Basement, Nigel Godrich’s masterpiece theatre is now available for viewing anywhere & everywhere. Just for the name drop, Nigel is Radiohead’s producer. He’s been working on this project where musicians come and perform to a few people and some cameras, with the intent on keeping the advertising and promotion [...]

It looks like this isn’t one of the latest TED talks, but if you have yet to see it it’s certainly worth a half hour of your time. Evelyn Glenny is a percussionist who lost most of her hearing around the age of 12. She performs barefoot to feel the music, and explains some methods [...]

Here’s a few clips to bang off this Friday. First up, Moby’s absolute obsession with nerdy drum machines. Can’t help but be a lil’ bit envious of his setup. Next, a lighthearted tune from your favourite Fresh Prince character, and those ultra-pop Swedes. Enjoy!

I’m still surprised by the recent ruling of the Polaris prize judges. When I heard the hardcore group Fucked Up took the $20,000 I didn’t quite get it. Well, I still don’t. But I suppose if it has some innovative qualities similar to Refused’s The Shape Of Punk To Come, then it’s somewhat deserving.
Anyways, here’s [...]
