THE WEDNESDAY WHIP AROUND - VOL 1 : NO.10

THE WILDERNESS DOWNTOWN - A NEW VISUAL INTERNET EXPERIENCE

Arcade Fire's Win Butler sings on 'We Used To Wait'; “so when the lights cut out, I was lost, standing in the wilderness downtown”, and this is the name given to a truely unique video experience in a clip like no other. An experiment in Internet technology, it allows you to enter the address of where you grew up and incorporating Google street-view takes you there to interact in various ways. Heavy on the hard-drive, it is designed for Google Chrome but also works with Safari. It may crash a couple of times but is well worth it once it's up and running. The 'Interactive Film' is by Chris Milk and you can check it out here. Arcade Fire tour North America over the next couple of months with six out of the fourteen shows sold out already, so get in quick if you have a chance.

UNDERWORLD TO DROP EIGHTH LP SEPTEMBER 13

Karl Hyde and Rick Smith are Underworld, and they have been for thirty years. There right from the birth of electronic music, they have come a very long way since 'Underneath The Radar'. Barking is the title of this new release and they have enlisted some help from various artists to contribute in their own way. Paul Van Dyke and Iranian-American producer and DJ Dubfire are two of these artists. Check out the video below for 'Always Loved A Film' from Barking. A brilliant look at old men behaving badly.
