Morris Dancing

Don't know how I've never seen this until now, it's been around since 2003. Four Tet's track 'As Serious As Your Life' - Morris dancing in one fell swoop... became cool.

Bennys Badekar

You might think I'm just getting old when I say this, but they don't make 'em like they used to. Dutch cartoon from the 70s called Bennys Badekar which is totally awesomed-up with a quality funk track called ‪Blækspruttesangen‬, or Octopus Song.

Two Door Cinema Club

Fun video for the new Two Door Cinema Club's single 'What You Know' from their debut album 'Tourist History'

Released on 7th February 2011.

Morris Dancing

Don't know how I've never seen this until now, but it's worth the wait. Four Tet's track 'As Serious As Your Life' - Morris dancing, in one fell swoop, became cool... almost.

We Are From L.A.

I first saw work by We Are From L.A. a few months ago with this video for Yelle's track, La Musique. Great stuff on their site for Cassius too. I predict big things for these guys.

Crazy Drumming

I think I'll watch this video if I ever have a day when I'm struggling for motivation. If we all put the same level of effort and enthusiasm into the things we do as the drummer does from Rick K. and the Allnighters, well... we'd get a lot more done. And probably be a bit thinner and sweatier.

Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer

Spiffingly ruddy brilliant, Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer. Influences include Chuck D, Terry Thomas and George Formby. There's a load more stuff on his MySpace site too...

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett join forces once again for the Gorillaz next outing to Plastic Beach. The single "Stylo" will be released in a couple of days on 26th January with the album following on 9th March. Stylo features Bobby Womack and Mos Def makes a couple of appearances on the album as new character "Sun Moon Stars."

Keith Schofield

Keith Schofield will be an event speaker at Semi-Permanent Melbourne at the start of October. He's made some brilliant work which which tends to be based around an idea, as opposed to a technique, which is a winner every time for me. His most well known work has been out there for a while now - notably this Toejam music vid for BPA and the massive Diesel birthday viral (which has had over 15 million hits on YouTube) as well as the excellent vid for Supergrass which, like a lot of the stuff on his site, I find myself cursing inside, saying "I wish I'd made that."

Seasick Steve

I'm a big fan of Seasick Steve, and this interview is nicely put together for the Take Aways section of French site Blogotheque - I know I'll be working my way through a few more of the Take Aways films as soon as I find time, but the Seasick Steve spot has a very natural feel about it, a behind the scenes glimpse of the real artist. I love the way he strolls around playing to an almost oblivious mix of tourists and rat-racers, then sits down in the middle of a bunch of skaters who duly stop and watch, tapping along to his blues tracks. I hope I'm like Steve when I'm older. Minus the dungerees, maybe.

The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother

Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the new video for Treat Me Like Your Mother. I've been a fan of Jonathan Glazer's work for years, but can't help feeling this has kind of missed the mark somehow. Great track though.
