‘Dried Out Eyes’ by Jonna Lee

Xtina, I am disappointed in you. (This song is still one of my favourites though).

Well that’s a disappointment. Popjustice seems to be 99.9% sure iamwhoami is Jonna Lee, just trying to out-Knife The Knife. Weird since she had a new album last year called “This is Jonna Lee” and the songs sound nothing like anything from those videos, maybe a side-project? butanyway WHO CARES. NEXT.

EDIT: a 14 year old and her mother figured out all of the mysterious ciphers. Thanks for making me feel like a failure.

Ramin Bahrani + Werner Herzog = Plastic Bag (2009)

Made last year as part of Futurestates series of short videos, Ramin Bahrani’s Plastic Bag can now be watched for free online. This little movie is the pathetic fallacy taken to its extreme: shouldn’t a planet where consumer goods outnumber consumers be seen as populated by objects first, and people second? Siding, very firmly, with things, the short stars human Werner Herzog as the voice a plastic bag, writing a love poem to the anonymous owner he develops a crush on only to be tossed away. Like a low-key A.I., the movie follows him into a world where humans are absent and only their trash remains. Without the hope of a Blue Fairy to turn him to real man, he can do nothing more than join his bretheren in the North Pacific Gyre. Its sweetness only strengthens the creepiness of its premise.

‘Karen’ by Chew Lips

Tigs from Chew Lips is my favourite frontwoman in music today, so much so that they’re one of the only bands I make an effort to see obsessively anymore. Her voice and stage presence ooze confidence and cool, her style is a thing to behold (check out her high-waste shorts and cropped top combos in this video!) and most of all I love her hand thing.

Campfires - “Royal Orange”

Jeff of Campfires just sent me a bunch of songs and I’m particularly digging this instrumental. It reminds me of a summertime pool party. You’re having a contest with your friend to see who can hold their breath the longest underwater when you hear the band start playing on the patio. You swim up to the surface and emerge just in time to catch the totally righteous last half of the song.

Absolute bliss.

You can find this track off his split “cassingle” with Benoit Pioulard through FM DUST.

‘Bear Island’ by DraculaZombieUSA

Before Yacht there was DraculaZombieUSA (and they were awesome.)

NYTimes’ video profile of Marina Abramovic for T Magazine plays like a trailer that highlights her unconventional approach to performance art. While some artists can’t really control how their art engages or affects people, Marina plays an almost dictator-like role and forcibly subjects her audience to endurance tests and self-reflective activities in a communal and ritualistic My Dinner With André fashion.

A retrospective of her work will be shown at MoMA from March 14, but read this article for a great profile and check out her gorgeously minimalist SoHo loft and star-shaped country house.

Disclosure - Offline Dexterity (mp3)

Delicious dub/2-step-tronica by two brothers from outskirts London aged 18 and 15. Seriously.

Tiny Furniture is an independent feature by Lena Dunham about a 22 year old post-grad who returns home with a useless arts degree, no job and no friends. This was practically hand-tailored for me. She bills it as a “tragicomedy about what does and does not happen when you graduate with no skills, no love life, and a lot of free time”. She wrote, directed, stars as the lead and uses her real life mother and sister to depict her onscreen family.

We’re the same age, obviously experienced in the same crisis, yet this is her second feature film. I’m clearly doing something wrong. (via CinehouseUK)

Califunya: Episode 4 - The Key to My Happiness

Is it me or is Califunya, the cooky Becky Stark ‘thing’, starting to have some sort of dark, Lynchian significance? In this episode Becky finds a key to her happiness in the trash(!) but quickly forgets what it is or what it does and ultimately rejoices in the fact that it is big and beautiful. It opens nothing she states before knowingly looking at the viewer. Do we ourselves tend to pride in that which is without function yet is superficially desirable? Does our potential happiness disappear the more we adhere to such a paradigm?

In the following episode she ushers in Colin Meloy who, carrying a heavy suitcase filled with Despair, sings ‘The Kingdom of Spain’, a sad song about golden ages long lost. I could also write paragraphs about how Episode 1 is allegory for the biblical apocalypse & how Episode 2 might as well be called ‘Blue Velvet’ but you can’t deny that something is going on here.

WHAT IS THIS AWESOMENESS.

mar-see-ah:

I didn’t think this needed any explanation. But here it is.

“Welcome to France, voted the best place in the world to live for the fifth year in a row by International Living magazine, which has been analyzing data and publishing its annual Quality of Life Index for 30 years …

France scores high marks across the board in the survey, which is done every January, from health care (100 points) to infrastructure (92 points) to safety and risk (100 points).

“No surprise,” said the magazine in its report. “Its (France’s) tiresome bureaucracy and high taxes are outweighed by an unsurpassable quality of life, including the world’s best health care.”

Following France in the top ten are Australia, Switzerland, Germany, New Zealand, Luxembourg, the U.S., Belgium, Canada and Italy, in that order.

…

Other European countries slipped a little in the magazine’s rankings this year, with the exception of France and Germany. Britain dropped to 25th place from last year’s ranking of 20.”

Oh Britain…
