Oh I'd never seen the video for this, thanks so much! Gorgeous track. The way she's trying so hard not to burst out laughing at all the madness going on around her is quite adorable. [love]

Except that she's obviously been bluescreened on top of it-but still.That's some video! Choreographing the wreckage must have been something.Reminds me of my days working in Theatre in the 80s-at the end of an installation project we used to wreck everything like that-very satisfying and a very important part of creating!
Nice version of the song too,albeit a pretty straight cover.

She's not bluescreened when she's sitting in the corner at the beginning, or mid-way through when the soggy stuff is being thrown at the wall beside her head and she's trying not to giggle. To me it looks like she's actually being moved through the set at certain points, on some kind of hydraulic thing. I'm reminded of those chairs that directors/cinematographers sit in, attached to film cameras, the ones that swing around the place.

If it was all done to a bluescreen, I wonder why she's trying not to laugh .... maybe the director is starkers.

Can someone less technically challenged thaan me explain how you upload videos here?
I've tried putting the youtube 'Embed' link from the YouTube video inbetween the 'youtube' links from the tab up above here; tried putting the direct link to the video in it,and all I get is a long line of code appearing onscreen.

It's no good looking at me.

ok so here is the tutorial:
- find a video on youtube
- copy the address, for example http://youtube.com/watch?v=sQIowXjGGMI
-then click on the youtube button here and you'll get thoses tags
[ youtube ] [ /youtube ]
- paste the link between the tags
[ youtube ] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIowXjGGMI [ /youtube ]
- the result :


if it doesn't work, make sure the address has the www. in it !

[sound world]

Thanks Alex,that's just what I was doing but it was the lack of the www that was the problem.
Anyway:-

KTTunstall-SILENT SEA
I don't know if KTT is too mainstream for all the devotees of the female vox hereabouts? but I care not a whit for musical fashion,and this song,which I've been working on with one of my pupils,is really beautiful-and I can't get it out of my head!!
I love the ambiguous tonality at the beginning and the way the song veers between 5/8 and 6/8 meters.No video as such-there is a live version on YouTube but it's not as delicate as this album version.

I love KT, Eye To Telescope got hammered on my CD player!

[paul-pgss]

Miss Platnum makes a nice mix of East-European influences with rnb. And the subject of the song is nice with all the talking sticks in the magazines nowadays.

Dani Siciliano - Slappers EPK

Sorry, she doesn't seem to have made a single music video, which is a shame, but this EPK showcases some of her wonderful Slappers album. She's Matthew Herbert's wife too!

I LOVE Dani! I have Likes on vinyl and Slappers on CD. I recently tried listening to Walk the Line on last.fm and the digital version really is piss poor compared to the vinyl

Kim Hiorthøy is a norwegian electronic artist mixing quite a lot of styles into a minimal soundscape that is nevertheless very rich and layered. He has a new cd out called 'My last day' (now on 3voor12!). Here's an older video though:
