I can’t think of a way they can possibly top this clip. Brilliantly shot in High Def, beautifully choreographed, and perfectly synchronised. If you liked their treadmill clip (symbolically shattered half way through) you’ll love how clever this is. It also knowingly nods to the Internet and Youtube crowd (did I see the mars rover? Something like the water bird that Homer uses to press the “any” key when he works from home? An OK Go concert rendered in Lego?).
What a joyful and exciting clip from a band that knows how to engage their audience. Bravo!

I’ll be purchasing Caravan Palace ASAP. I’ve found a group that embodies the music I love. Apparently it’s called Electro Swing. I haven’t heard a single one I haven’t liked yet.

not visually appealing, but a terrific track
When I find music that I like I can’t let it go until I share it. This is one of those tracks.
Buy Artichaut on iTunes or on Amazon.

An example of my proposal
I don’t want a separate app where I have to gather all my friends and influencers in one place all over again — I have that in Twitter.
What I want from you is a way to flag a user (secretly) as someone whose opinion has aligned with mine in the past, so that when they say “I love this new movie”, I’ll be reasonably certain that I will too. And if I could flag someone’s opinion as wrong((that’s what we’re all thinking right?)) most of the time, then I will know that when they say “I love this song”, not to bother clicking through to it. It might mean that some of the users in my stream have slightly darker or lighter updates so I can tell at a glance which ones I’ve flagged as trustworthy or mostly wrong.
Heck, just being able to easily see that someone is in a “trusted” private Twitter list with a glance at my main stream would be double handy. Do that.
Thank you for listening. If you do this, you will win the world.
PS. to all the people I follow: I’m not talking about any of you. I think all of you have fantastic taste. It’s those other people I worry about…

I’ve never known what I’d call the type of music I enjoy. Back when I was in high school it was whatever you’d call what that Snow guy was doing (also see the Jim Carrey Spoof). About the same time I enjoyed a very embarrassing singer named Gillum who happened to be the triumvirate of terrible nineties music all in one annoying package, a white Christian rapper. I’m including the video, but please only watch if you have a strong constitution or no longer value the will to live.
