“Save Me” is a new music video by artist Irma, utilizing a group of dancing children, a group of musicians, seven digital projectors, and one very large (and versatile) white room.

Been listening a lot to “Talking Through Tin Cans,” by The Morning Benders. They’re not a group I really thought I would like, but I happened across this album and have been playing it with some regularity.

I’ve been listening to Dark Arc by Saintseneca a lot lately, and this song is another that’s caught my ear. It’s definitely one of the more pop-heavy songs on the album, but I think it shows off how tight-knit them seem as a group. There’s a lot of slow/fast moments here as well, though they’re less overt compared to other songs.

In a lot of the songs on this album, there’s a very interesting shift between tempos – a slow, single voice that shifts into the whole band singing, all instruments blaring. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I liked the group or not, but after a few listens they’ve definitely grown on me. So much so to the point where I’m now listening to this album nonstop.

I don’t really know this group, but on hearing this song… it just kind of locked itself into my brain for the past day or so. I’ve had it on loop for a few hours each day, and there’s something about the sound of the vocals – whatever that effect is – that just is very pleasing to me.

This group very much reminds me of Jim, and I have to say… on seeing this video – I’m now wondering why I didn’t check out more of their music. I’m in awe of the sound that the three of them can generate.

I’ve had this song looping a lot lately. Many years ago, it served as a source of inspiration for me wanting to create a visualization for the song. The thing I wanted to create never really manifested, so I might go back and give it another whirl. With Flash on the way out, maybe I’ll see about using HTML5 audio and CSS3 animations…

Things have been busy at work lately, to where most of my days have me with headphones on and music playing (well, on a good day I remember to turn on the music). When there’s a set amount of work to be done and I want to focus, I invariably lock onto a song or two on repeat. Sometimes, it’s a whole album… but whatever it ends up being, I tend to prefer a perpetual loop of music during these times.

I’ve been really taken with The Wallings Jr. lately, and have been listening a lot to their album Before the War. There’s something about their voices that I just love, and can’t seem to get enough of.

Hallelu, Hallelu, praise the lord and pass the ammunition too
They say Jesus is coming, he must be walking, he sure ain’t running
Who can blame him, look how we done him, Hallelu

“My foolish nature,
the chase for the paper,
I would deal in the broad daylight
18 years old,
head full of psilocybin
and howling at the moon all night”

I was randomly browsing around Vimeo, and happened across this video by William Williamson, featuring Sir Derek Jacobi. Wasn’t sure what to make of it, but I dug it and thought I’d share.

A recent favorite group that I’ve found via Rdio is The Wallings Jr. Their latest album is entitled Before the War, and there are several songs that I’ve just been listening to, over and over. I take this as a good sign, as bands I fall for tend to move me into an obsessive listening loop for a few weeks.

Set up as though you were watching TV, this is a very fun and interesting take on the classic Dylan song. At first, I wasn’t sure what was happening with the fake TV shows I was seeing… but after a few moments, I caught on. A pretty nifty effect (and must have been crazy to coordinate).

I found out this weekend that Kutiman has a new video, entitled Thru Tokyo. Created for PBS Digital Studios, this video delights both eyes and ears.
