I love it when the internet delivers on its ability to let you make a few hops and find something that you would otherwise have never possibly found ever. Case in point: I was reading this article on Gizmodo about a photographic technique involving tilt-shift lenses that makes real-life images appear like macro images of tiny models. Amazing videos, you should check them out. But also amazing is the MUSIC the guy uses for his videos.
So spend some time on his website and I learn the music is all by a band called “Sonido Lasser Drakar”. Soulseek helps me out and BAM I’m rocking out to Mexican electrodance tracks. As far as I can tell this band has barely even made it out of the basement; an album of 6 tracks and a few singles on electronica collections. Though it’s so good, maybe just because I am picturing funky internet videos but I am also grooving as I sit here at my computer…
Also, I didn’t even have to read the article to know that one day my library/reading room/den/secret lair will look like this. So beautiful, so amazing, so brea… I have to go change my pants again…
EDIT: oh oh oh speaking of stuff you can find on the internet that involves music and electronics and dancing and non-American origins: check out pornophonique. The tagline says it all: gameboy meets lagerfeuer (again with the internets: lagerfeuer means campfire?) Ok maybe the tagline doesn’t say it all. It’s good! Check it out! They post their music for free!
