Efterklang and Morgenthaler

Morgenthaler redeeming himself by making this Efterklang video.

Princess

I am a big fan of the comic strip Wulffmorgenthaler, made by Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthaler. (click the strip to read the text, unless you have very good eyes)
So I had my hopes up last night, when I had the opportunity to watch Anders Morgenthaler's animated film Princess. Sadly it was a let down, the grotesque, morbid and sometimes ironic comment on society of the comic didn't translate into pictures in motion.
Morgenthaler wants to show us how pornography, child molestation and prostitution - which is one and the same in his world, is very bad - made by bad men and exploiting women. On the other hand we have violence in the style of maybe Kill Bill, preformed by a Christian on the rouse of revenge (very odd combination), but is otherwise not given the ability to show emotion. The story is filled with cliches, barely has any surprises in store and made me laugh in places I clearly shouldn't have.
Some call it a necessary and shocking film, clearly they live in a world where media doesn't show this harsh reality. I have no need for poorly explained violence and emotional simpletons, Hollywood have them in plenty.

cats and cats and cats

You like post-rock?
You like cats and cats and cats - happiness for lola.
I wish all their songs was like this one, but they are not. :(

The Alpine

These indie poppers have a new album out in Denmark 16. of april called ”There’s Only So Much You Can Do" - but you can get the first single right now. They claim there is some serious message in it, but it seems to get lost in the happy, clapping music...

Back to basics

Lately I have been going back to basics = acoustic guitar. For a change I am out of DK and Europe!
First of all The Dodos. I love how a guitar, drum and passionate vocals can be all you need.
Secondly The Acorn.
Thirdly Grand Archives.
And also Iron and Wine.
These north American bands have some fell to them that can't be matched in Europe, god heavens we try! (pronounce with a fake British accent). All these bands seem to have found THE sound of acoustic America in their own way. And I am sure they kick ass on stage.
This will be a weekend with work and maybe board gaming with the boys, so don't count on anything from here until perhaps Monday. I have no idea how most people read blogs, but I would recommend using a reader, like google's reader. It has changed my life - and saved me lots of time.
Take care, who and wherever you are. A.
