Röyksopp – Happy Up Here

March 9, 2009 – 1:57 am

royksoppI have an older Röyksopp cd, and Norwegian duo has everything you could want in an electronic outfit; driving beats, unobtrusive synthesized vocals topped by happy melodies to rule them.  Of course if the video features a Space Invaders theme, it’s going to immediately get my attention, plus I love the idea of advertising attacking us, so here we are.  Am I that transparent?  Na, I think I just like some escapism from indie rock every now and then and this kind of pop is the vessel.  Looks like I have my next target to buy, and I will now surf around for the perfect Space Invader tattoo; it’s out there somewhere (uh, yeah)

1 2 3 4 by Feist

January 5, 2008 – 2:47 pm

Ya, you’ve heard the song 1 2 3 4 by Feist, even if you don’t realize it; it’s that iPod ad. That ad gave you a sense of the melody of the song, which is beautiful IMO, as is the cd which easily made my best of 2007. Why am I bringing this up? It’s the full video, you must see it. Rarely does a video move me enough to want to talk about it, I can think of some Sigur Ros ones, and a couple of others, but this one is just fantastic and suits the song very well. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think, and pickup the cd if you like this track; it’s a solid one.

This is a preview of 1 2 3 4 by Feist. Read the full post (127 words, estimated 30 secs reading time)
