New Hammock Music Video on Pitchfork.tv: “Mono No Aware”

Hammock’s newest music video for “Mono No Aware” off of Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow is up on the newly redesigned Pitchfork website.  Not surprisingly, it’s beautiful and atmospheric.  🙂  This particular song reminds me a lot of stuff by Max Richter, namely The Blue Notebooks.

Watch the video; there’s a reason why Hammock if one of my favorite bands.

William Fitzsimmons, “If You Would Come Back Home”

Just saw a link over at Pitchfork Media to a new music video from William Fitzsimmons – “If You Would Come Back Home,” directed by Josh Franer.

The song comes from Fitzsimmons’ latest record, The Sparrow and The Crow, which is excellent.  I like the video, too. If you like what you hear, consider picking up the cd or buying it online from Amazon or on iTunes.

Art I Like.

I created a new page on my blog a few weeks ago, showcasing different pieces of art that I really like and want to share, whether it be paintings, photographs, poems, or other writing.  I got the idea from a similar page on Harrison’s blog, so I thought I would implement it, too.  It’s the middle link entitled “Art” up at the top on the right.

Hope you like the things I post there as much as I do.

The Matrix Runs on Windows

Ok, this is somewhat old (November of last year), and I am  essentially stealing it from a post my friend Brock wrote, but this is the first time I have seen this.

There’s a funny short film parody put out by CollegeHumor.com called The Matrix Runs on Windows, and it features none other than my friend Winston Noel as Neo.  I went to both high school and college at the University of Virginia with Winston; after graduating, he moved up to New York City to pursue a career in acting.  I’d say he’s on his way up.

Congratulations, Winston!

Brock found it via a post on Gizmodo, where they wrote

The crew at CollegeHumor have outdone themselves with their latest short, The Matrix Runs on Windows. The concept is pretty self-explanatory: the movie The Matrix if the construct was run on Windows XP. It’s incredible that content shot for the web is reaching the quality of the movies that it spoofs. Seriously, how good does this look?

Pretty cool.

Life in Technicolor II

Coldplay just came out with their new music video for “Life in Technicolor ii” off of their most recent EP Prospekt’s March, and it is totally awesome.  One word: puppets.  Check it out below.

It’s a great song, too.  If you haven’t picked up the Prospekt’s March EP yet, I highly recommend you do so; it’s the perfect companion to Viva la Vida.
