Every monday (when available!), let's make yourself comfortable and share videos with our guest. (courtesy of Milkymee). Monday January 10th NAME : Mia Clarke BAND : Follows, Guitargument, (used to be in Electrelane) STATUTS : Guitarist BREAKING NEWS : Mia is our last ever guest and I truely thank her for the time she spent answering my questions !
Here are Mia's choices : 1/ Scout Niblett: "Kiss"
Scout Niblett, along with Hauschka (below), is probably one of the artists I listen to most frequently. I was so moved by this video the first time I watched it. It's heartbreaking and beautiful, but still reflects Emma's bizarre and goofy sense of humor. That little wink she gives to the camera at 0.34 is just brilliant, as are the ice-cream eating scenes.
2 / Hauschka: "Morgenrot" + Hauschka: "Eltern"
I couldn't choose between these two videos. They are very different, but both capture the atmosphere of his music very well. "Eltern" is the first part of an animation triptych for Hauschka, and it leaves me smiling every time I watch it.
3 /Patti Smith: Smells Like Teen Spirit Although I adore Patti Smith, I'm not too keen on this cover. However, I am a huge admirer of Jem Cohen's cinematography. I think he captures the feeling of the track, and the interaction between Smith and her son in a lovely, intimate way. Jem also made my favourite music documentary of all time: "Instrument- Ten Years with the Band Fugazi".

Monday december 6th NAME : Debora Cohen BAND : Lovers Love Haters (used to be in The Organ) STATUS : Guitarist, singer. BREAKING NEWS : The 6 song EP is available on their website !: http://www.loverslovehaters.com
Here are Debora's choices : 1/ Yeah Yeah Yeah' s - Pin
Yea, yea, yea's have been one of my favorites since they released their very first ep. I am pretty sure, I can honestly say I don't think they have one single song I dislike. With every song they write there is always a different melody that sticks like super glue. As well, each album in my opinion is always a little different, yet you will always know it's them. I really appreciate how stylistically I think they can pull of just about anything from a really noisy song, to a soft acoustic song.
I am picking this song because The Ramones were one of the very first bands I was introduced to when I was a teenager learning to play guitar. I think at that time I may have gone through nearly all of their songs and taught myself how to play them. (Easy, short, catchy, and fun). Also...Rock and roll high school was one of my favorite movies back then...I recommend everyone to watch it if you haven't already. But I am guessing most of you have.
3/ Bat For Lashes - Daniel
I was only more recently introduced to 'Bat For Lashes' by some friends. For some reason, I can just listen to this particular song on repeat over and over...and watch the video over and over, and I never get tired of the song..it's just a perfect song..and it tells a little story. I also really like the orchestral sounding instruments used in it. As for the video itself, it's simple, but arty, and a little dark which I really like.
4/ David Bowie - Life On Mars
I can't not put David Bowie on my list...I would probably land in hell if I skipped him by. There are way too many songs of his I love. He is definitely the one song writer that I really look up to. Not to mention, his artistic side is amazing too. I am just going to keep it simple and leave it at that. ....................................................................................................... |
