time to get rid of future interweb superstar, tay zonday.
caught these two videos on tv tonight.
firstly another stunning piece of electronica featuring a haunting performance by robyn. you might remember a while ago i linked to andreas kleerup’s effort, with every heartbeat, with robyn up front (and there i’ve linked it again). dream on is a rerelease of a track that was initially brought out in 2006, at the time also featuring vocals from the ark’s ola salo. salo has been dropped for the 2008 version, with robyn going it alone. it has to be said, i’m not a huge robyn fan, but man, that voice works perfectly for these sorts of tracks. it’s intense and it’s uplifting, and you should go clickedy click.
second is a reworking, rather than a rerelease. from the mists of 1992 comes something good by utah saints. i loved it at the time and the 2008 version takes nothing away from the original. the main reason i wanted to stick it up here though is the video, which is fan-freaking-tastic. for anyone who’s ever done the running man at a club, wedding, or just in their own bedrooms, it’s a must see.
they’re both down there, in the side blog, so have at it!
no idea why I haven’t got around to sharing this before now, but please go and check out the boston globe’s own photoblog (of sorts), the big picture.
news and editorial photos so good, they make me sick with envy. do yourself a favour.
i know it’s been a while, but this had to be linked.
miles has captured a doggy classic.
small change to the list of photography stuff. dave’s nyc photos seems to have sadly fallen by the wayside, so it’s been culled, replaced by tyler e nixon’s wink. tyler was recently awarded both best photoblog design, and a biggie, photo of the year in the 2007 photobloggies. can’t say i disagree with that. go chekkit out, you won’t be disappointed.
as a small aside, i think my email may be fuxed, due to a severe lack of space in my hosting account. i’m receiving email at the moment, but i don’t seem to be able to send anything. time to move hosts, methinks.
the other aussie here in the sweden office is moving back to australia shortly, so before everyone goes on summer holidays we had a little farewell drinks for him last night. this morning i had that horrible, swivel eyed feeling like i was going to be sick every time i turned my head. i swear it’s the red wine. which sucks, because i love it.
i slept for an extra hour on the couch i was kindly offered, and that seemed to fix things up fairly well.
