I discovered them thanks to Tarantino and his great taste for good music in the soundtracks of his movies. This time it was Death Proof. The band (that to my surprise is still partially alive and kickin’ concerts) was a pop rock british group in the 60’s. The weird band name is an amalgam of the band’s [...]

He directed and wrote the music for Buffalo 66 and made other great underground chilly-experimental-idm-trip-hop-abstract stuff. Worth [...]
One of the most captivating animations I have ever seen, Les triplettes de Belleville is the perfect example of how a parody must be made: subtle, leaving the audience to draw the conclusion. The first video portraits Les triplettes in their golden age (’30s) and also caricatures of Django Reinhardt, Glenn Gould, Josephine Baker, Yvette [...]
