Isabella Rossellini – Seduce Me – Dolphins
Monday, 21 May 2012 comments

A friend recently introduced me to the Seduce Me and Green Porno series which were directed, written by and star Isabella Rossellini. These little clips are beautifully strange, incredibly funny and scientifically correct. Stereolab’s One Note Samba featuring the legendary Herbie Mann on Flute works very nicely as accompanied listening…


Official text:

In SEDUCE ME the five two-minute portraits explore the unconventional seduction rituals of creatures ranging from bugs to cuttle fish. Seduce Me offers an entertaining yet informative look into the bizarre seduction rituals that often precede the mating process.

GREEN PORNO covers both land and sea! The series features Rossellini as she acts out the reproductive habits of marine animals and insects, both scientifically accurate yet extremely entertaining.

A quick journey through the best service station in England; West Moorland on the M6. Featuring cameos from us and crew members. This might or might not have been influenced by a slight hangover.

Lost Memories of New York
Wednesday, 2 May 2012 comments

 So as some of you may know we’ve recently returned from America, while I was there I took lots of pictures on my very basic ‘point and press’ camera. Unfortunately all the shots from New York have been lost apart from these 3 below, above is the explanation from Boots regarding the other shots.
They’re pretty distorted, however I think there’s something quite nice about them.
The thing is, was it merely my camera or is this how New York actually looks, is this an accurate representation of the city, is this how it will stay in my mind’s eye? Probably just my camera.

Der Lauf Der Dinge (the way things go) By Fischili and Weiss
Wednesday, 2 May 2012 comments

This is the original kinetic sculpture, Its long but I think its worth it, made in 87′ it is the influence for OKGO’s vid and the honda advert. I came across this whilst writing my dissertation on collaborative art.

It explores state change and repetition, there are a few edits but nobody is perfect. I like the way you can see the energy being passed on and morphing from a liquid to a gas to a solid and even fire. It serves as a reminder of the ever changing world, the monotony of life and that really, when it comes down to it, everything is the same we are all part of a big wheel, blah blah blah.

Anyway its pretty much the best game of dominos ever!

>Last week we got back from our first trip to America which was a truly crazy experience. We had the pleasure of spending the last week out there on tour supporting Polica in the North East. Having previously only heard a couple of tracks online their live show completely blew us all away. Check out a live session of set highlight ‘Wandering Star’ below…









They’ll be over in London on 7th June playing CAMP Basement so all I can say is get your tickets right now.
