The Soft Beating - a road doc from Rumraket on Vimeo.
In March 2009 Efterklang toured the US road testing songs for their third (and now released) album Magic Chairs. Danish documentarist and music journalist Ralf Christensen followed the band the last week of the tour and managed to capture the band performing their new song The Soft Beating in various ways and various and interesting places. The Soft Beating later ended up as track 7 on Magic Chairs.
Magic Chairs is out now on 4AD and Rumraket

David Byrne feat. Santigold: Please Don't
from www.davidbyrne.com:
Here’s the video for the Santigold track “Please Don’t.” We did a photo session for a magazine the other day, and I told the interviewer that on this song, by the time you get to the chorus, she owns it — she’s turned it into a Santigold song. Perfect.
There are six of these videos that have been completed for this project. Most, like this one, use news and archival footage to, well, show that every word of the song is true! Most of the lyrics on this one are lifted gently from interviews and quotations — the “please don’t” chorus especially. At some point as first lady, Imelda began to feel that she could help Philippine interests by charming world leaders into seeing things her way. “Handbag diplomacy” she called it — as she liked to imply that to solve a problem, she could bypass President Marcos and just grab a handbag and hop on a plane with some of her assistants. It sometimes worked! There was, for example, an Islamic-backed insurgency rising in the south of the Philippine archipelago, and she thought that a leader in that part of the world, Qaddafi in this case, might help pull the plug on that support if he saw things her way. Apparently he did — the funding stopped and the insurrection lost momentum, and she later described him as a pushover, a mama’s boy.

Glass Ghost
I'm going to fight the crowds tonight to check out Glass Ghost at Zebulon. I got into the band back when they were album-less, and only fully checked out their release, Idol Omen, in its entirety today for the first time. Now on my third consecutive full stream, I am far from disappointed.
Check out Glass Ghost's myspace for more dates
