I stumbled onto these videos for a band called The Soft Hills today while clicking around through Myspaces, working on booking up the next 3 months of Mess. These seemed like they should be shared somehow, I think because of the careful layerings of found images and sounds, and animals swinging, and ladies lighting up [...]

This video is circulating like wildfire on the interwebs today, maybe because we all need a little pick me up; and a spontaneous high five from a dashing stranger would not be a bad start. Good thing those kinds of guys are out there.

I’m also glad these kinds of guys are out there.

Independent from 1960 to 1988 the Motown record label was perhaps the most influential independent of all time. In a period of incredible global upheaval and tension, Motown brought people of all colours and creeds together in appreciation of life, joy, freedom to experiment, and to be all the odd and awesome things an individual [...]

This video features some friends making collective large scale art during Nuit Blanche here in Montreal, includes curator Tim Barnard and that early morning scamp, young Tyler Rauman, and 26 sexy, ridiculously talented and paint covered Others.

Yesterday Erykah Badu (@fatbellybella) told me (and her hundreds of other best friends… ie; followers… sigh) about these 2 videos. To be honest, before the American election [...]

We’re looking for new content for our next round of screenings…
Consumerism
Short films and videos about western materialism, developing economies and the manufacturing sector, (un)sustainable development, the media that creates the consumer, or your favorite shoes. Video Party is ideologically neutral, so our goal is to showcase films that encourage critical thinking about our current global [...]

Whether he’s animating for his own music or for friends Chad VanGaalen’s music videos are freakin stunning, no wonder so many great bands have sought to collaborate, as you can see clicking through these pages.
Don’t know about you but I’m finding spending some time enjoying these bright, disturbing moving pictures is a brain healthy, [...]

Since we featured Silver Jews yesterday in our ongoing Indie Music Video feature, it only seems right to finally pay tribute to Pavement today.
