"Creature Comforts - The Complete First Season - DVD" trailer
"Creature Comforts" is a brilliant and hilarious clay animation series about the lives of animals as told by the animals themselves. Interviews with these lovable claymation creatures leave no stone unturned, no tree unclimbed, no sea uncrossed in the quest to discover what our fine-finned, furred and feathered friends really think about the issues that are closest to their hearts. It's a "mockumentary" like none you've ever seen, and it could only come from Nick Park and the untamed minds at Aardman Animation. The DVD also includes the original "Creature Comforts", 1990 Academy Award Best Animated Short, "Bringing Creature Comforts to Life".
"Dr. Jobs and his Scary Laboratory": Part 1
For more than twenty-five years, I have been a successful composer of music to accompany animation. I have worked on the cartoon, "Urusei Yatsura", and the movies, "Tampopo" and Gerry Anderson's "FireStorm". These works hardly pursue a whole synchronization of music and pictures, so inevitably, I feel frustrated with the unbalanced two elements. In recent years, my challenge has been to seek its solution with Brick Toys animation. The music composition has been another project. The amount of genuine animation for children seems to be decreasing, compared to the number aiming for OTAKU (freaks) in Japan. With this Dr. Jobs' series, I am aiming for five to ten-year old children. In each story, I'd like to create a comedy with this brick character, where you will find his brilliant inventions may lead to a bitter experience. Enjoy it!
The Shins: "Basement Recording"
The Shin's debut full-length, 2001's Oh, Inverted World, was a stunner; resoundingly well-received and landing itself on numerous year-end best-of-lists. MOJO placed it at #14 of the year and commented, "This quartet from Albuquerque, New Mexico captured our hearts this summer with their pristine pop perfection." And, Seattle's The Straner went even further with, "...a referential, brilliant record which had better blow up, or the world has forgotten what pop music is all about." As far as we're concerned it did blow up - seems there's still some hope for the world and its conception of pop music. Since that first record, singer/songwriter/guitarist James Mercer and drummer Jesse Sandoval moved from Albuquerque to Portland, OR and bassist Neal Langford was replaced with Dave Hernandez (ex-Scared Of Chaka), who played bass on the stand-out track from the first record, "New Slang." Chutes Too Narrow, their heavily anticipated follow-up, was recorded in James' basement home studio, with later mixing assistance from Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, David Cross, Les Savy Fav, etc.). And, with 10 songs, clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the new record is a brief yet entirely scintillating glimpse at chiming, reflective and perfectly skewed pop innovation.
