One of the most beautiful video i’ve seen lately – made by Montreal artists. Shine on, people!

Beware, both the visuals and melody of This Moment are touching. They might bring some tears held back for too long.

Available on iTunes.

It’s now been a bit over a month since I’ve changed jobs and I’m already missing all the new music that was being sent to me and other colleagues. The last album I received (just a few weeks ago) was of Brooklyn artist Reid Paley. Anyways… an awesome surprise, he has collaborated with Frank Black, so what more can I say? I am a music lover and cannot get enough of it:)

Another surprise was when I was reviewing a tiny clip I filmed last year at Southpaw in Brooklyn. I remembered I was filming a wall of posters, because they have a poster of The Dagons who I had worked for the past three years, then I noticed that Reid’s poster was stuck right beside… small world, I knew there was something familiar about that guy…

The project “Female Pressure” is having its 10th birthday these days. “Female Pressure” has been founded by Vienna based DJ “Electric Indigo” in order to gain visibility for women who are working as DJs, VJs or producer. The database is counting more than 1000 female artists from around the world and since the beginning the platform is helping women to get booked by party organizers.

They compiled a music dvd for their birthday celebration. And if you get the chance to see Electric Indigo playing live, go there. She is a great DJ! Love her style.

Since the band The Klaxons started this New Rave (or Nu Rave for insiders) music trend around 2005, there is a growing number of kids who use blogs to push their music remixes and party photos to the web.

I am fascinated (do I over-use this word???) by the fact that these kids seem to take the web and especially blogs as GIVEN. They don’t think and analyze whether they should use the web for publishing the music remixes or not…. they just grab a blogspot account and do it! And they link like crazy to other blogs doing the same. I would call that a healthy web scene… and I already feel much older.

See:
- ARTE Video documentation about New Rave (in french)
- Fluo kids blog (with many many mp3s)

Hey, Falco died exactly 10 years ago. He remains – even nowadays – the most famous Austrian pop star, known for the international number one hit “Rock me Amadeus”. But I prefer songs like “Jeanne” and especially “Der Kommisar”, which has a pretty cool beat. “Alles klar, Herr Kommisar? Check it out.

Jukebox features covers from Billie Holiday and James Brown, and is now available in stores and on iTunes.

Unfortunately, no MP3s will be made available for podcasters, as said in the conversation taking place between the label and Cat Power’s fans on Matador’s blog – “No MP3 coupon though – with all the publishers involved for the many cover songs, we can’t get permission.”

Vu d’ici’s topo on Cat Power:

- Watch Cat Power as she openly shares about her recovery in a NYT interview,
- young Cat Power video – lovely dance gestures, how sweet she looks in this video!
- Lived in bars video,
- New York New York cover which is on her latest album, Jukebox.

Listen to Cat Power in podcast #52.
