girl walk // all day

Officially my new favourite thing:

Girl Walk // All Day from jacob krupnick on Vimeo.

Ahoy!

We've set out to combine the amazing talents of improvisational dancer Anne Marsen (and a supporting cast of contemporary dancers) with the epic new Girl Talk album, All Day, creating an album-length music video of grand proportions. We'll continue shooting through the spring of 2011, then plan to screen the piece, in full, in public, as well as make it fully available for free online.

That girl has so much courage- i love it! And what a great idea to make an improvised dance video for Girl Talk's album. And to name it Girl Walk. File under: Brillz

The Irrepressibles - "In This Shirt"

i came across this video on a friend's facebook wall; i've never heard of them, but am glad i found them.

They're called The Irrepressibles and wiki tells me they're a 10 piece orchestra band from London, UK, which is where the depth of the sound comes from. it reminds me of Cinematic Orchestra, another powerful instrumental collective.

Aside from that, this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. right from the first second, everything just feels perfect. the positioning, the lighting, the mystery-- it's beautifully crafted and shot. the feelings you get from the video are strong and powerful too, whether or not the context is clear. it's undeniably captivating.

the imagery, design and editing is truly masterful, in my opinion.

All Caps - "Don't Unplug Me"

amazing lyrics:

Don't unplug me
or just shut me down
Please just love me
with your steel heart
I'd reboot you
If you'd look at me
With those cold eyes
One more time

I remember, our software was compatible
I think I felt my circuit board ignite
You held my hand in your metallic grip
We may be machines but I'm in love tonight

Baby there is something I have to say
I think it's time for my upgrade
I would look so good in version two
But I promise that it's me, not you

Don't unplug me
or just shut me down
Please just love me
with your steel heart
I'd reboot you
If you'd look at me
With those cold eyes
One more time

Can you hear me, you haven't moved an inch
Is this a system failure, what should I do?
Your new interface it seems to have some bugs
You're not responding, I think they broke you

Hello and welcome to version two
Tell me what can I do for you?
What is a hug that does not compute
Please stand by for my system reboot

Just got the memo
about this upgrade to version two
it removes extraneous programs
that means emotions like loving you
I don't wanna lose myself
or ever have to say goodbye
I want to hold on to my consciousness
I don't want to die

also, the original video made by the youtubers who actually made the song is pretty fun too:

wait until the end, when she shoots the kids :D

meekakitty's pretty cool, and super crazy. but that's what makes her awesome.

and she makes a really good point in this video.

Hot stuff(ed).

He totes looks like Tom Ford in the one. Crazesauce.

Now the best part is that the female version of the ads feature Freja Beha Erichsen, who is ONLY MY FAVOURITE MODEL EVER! For serious.

She looks so good in these ads! They are too hot. I cant even deal.
