The Wildernes of Manitoba

THE WILDERNESS OF MANITOBA - "Bluebirds" from Mitch Fillion on Vimeo.

A few of the members of the oh so wonderful Wilderness of Manitoba played my graveyard party this past summer. Singing from an oak tree and surronded by the dead is one way to see this fabulous band, another way is this lovely event:

Volcanic netherworlds and aural pleasures

Ohbijou - New Years from explodingmotorcar on Vimeo.

Awww this made my evening! randomly i decieded to check out my friend Jess Ewles's blog! and there i found his new work on Ohbijiou's surreal dark and dreamy video. I love how this video evokes a catastrophic amphibian-like netherworld. The voyueristic shots are beautifully reminicisnt of the magical forest in the classic Fern Gully movie! So lovely!!

"Highway" by Diemonds.

Remember Wayne's girlfriends band in "Waynes World" ? I think her name was Cassandra... One of the only reasons i use to re-watch that movie was for my major crush on her! Well that crush from long ago has re-surfaced onto the Diemonds front woman Priya Lee Roth. Seriously, though they are one of the best live shows I've seen in a long time. The Diemonds sound is so authentically rock and roll, its hard not to proclaim them "ROCK N ROLL AT ITS FINEST AND FILTHIEST"!
