Andreas Nilsson has made The Knife's new video to this brilliant tune. It's a dark and suggestive story, inspired by Oscar Fischinger and Charles Burns' "Black Hole". The Knife tour is already sold out on all venues.

Brenda Ann Keneally - The Block (*****)

«In much the same way that twelve-step recovery programs are built on the premise that alcohol and other manifestations of addiction (sex, gambling, etc.) are but symptom of the disease, this work contains pictures of drugs though its not about drugs. It is about the wish to have control over one´s own destiny.» Very strong narrative work by Brenda Ann Kenneally from the shadier part of life.

Midlake - Roscoe mp3 and lyrics (*****)

After a chuggy bit of Fleetwood Mac-ish keyboard vamping, we find ourselves abruptly in the middle of an unfathomable tale involving stonecutters, mountaineers, and an odd sense of displacement in both time and space. As difficult as it is to get grounded here lyrically, I feel myself completely embraced musically, and this is I believe one of pop music's most wondrous gifts: the capacity to juxtapose accessible music with mysterious lyrics (just as powerful a combination, I think, as the more often discussed idea of setting sad lyrics to happy music)(via fingertipsmusic.blogspot.com)
