Hauschka Live In Japan Hauschka's second album for FatCat's 130701 imprint offers a brilliant advance on 2007's Room To Expand. Where the previous album comprised mostly solo recordings of Hauschka's 'prepared' piano (with a few electronic and instrumental overdubs), Ferndorf is a far more expansive and fully-realised album, with many of the tracks also featuring a string duo, enabling an increased solidity. More dynamic, its staccato stabbing rhythms are rendered increasingly rousing and emotive with these additional strings. Whilst he recordings still retain the shivers and tics (as by-products of) of the modified internal workings of the piano - alongside some sweet electronic touches -- these are less central and instead what's foregrounded is the melodic / rhythmic push and pull, and a development towards more orchestrated music and notated compositions.

If we're addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them. http://www.goodmagazine.com/ Animation & Design by Chris Weller Directed by Max Joseph Music: "Genesis" by Justice http://www.myspace.com/etjusticepourtous http://www.christopherweller.com http://www.chimponachain.com Author: GOODMagazine Keywords: Economy economics inflation Oil Corn Recession commentary analysis animation obama mccain election world crises motion graphics music video Justice Genesis ed banger records dinosaurs biofuel ethanol green population growth Added: July 29, 2008

Now Playing in the YouTube Screening Room http://www.youtube.com/ytscreeningroom "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them .....and then there are others" Winner of the 2004 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, Harvie Krumpet is the biography of an ordinary man seemingly cursed with bad luck.

Now Playing in the YouTube Screening Room: http://youtube.com/ytscreeningroom Visit www.nfb.ca for more After witnessing the accidental death of a stranger, Ruby seeks affirmation in the city around her, and finds it in surprising places. With deft humor and finely rendered detail, When the Day Breaks illuminates the links which connect our urban lives, while evoking the promise and fragility of a new day. Co-directors Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis use pencil and paint on photocopies to achieve a textured look suggestive of a lithograph or a flickering newsreel. In When the Day Breaks, the ordinary--a lemon, a toaster, a chance collision on a street corner--is endowed with a visceral power. A film without words.

Billy Bob Thornton and his bandmates in the Boxmasters (JD Andrew and Mike Butler) introduce their favorite youtube clips. Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters' sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960's-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters' upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically. The tension that the disparity between the subject matter and the music creates lends itself to a truly unique musical experience that could only be produced by The Boxmasters. The Boxmasters self titled album is available in stores now!

http://www.nfb.ca/ryan Ryan is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In the film, we hear the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless people who make up Ryan's life. These voices speak through strange, twisted, and disembodied, computer-generated characters--which combine to reflect the film's creator, Chris Landreth. In the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are." Some strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.
