46bliss have another great video on their hands, created by Stephan Koplowitz using footage he shot with dancers in Viet Nam; this is one not to miss.
The Kosheen sound has always been about integrating electronica with great song structures, and, locked down in the studio recording 'Damage', the band has created a subtly futuristic soundtrack for the 21st century. From the spacious titular track itself to the pop-driven forthcoming single 'Overkill' (about, says Sian, "personal or political frustration"); from the early 80s synth-stabbed 'Chances' to the epic hum of 'Under Fire', hefty beats jostle with acidic bleeps, Morricone guitars, plangent synths and haunting piano. Look out, too, for the rather swaggering majesty of closing track, ‘Your Life,’ which, says Markee, "grew from its opening chords – it stinks of flava!"
Treble and Timbre: "Synth Magic"
This funny duo sings about the magic sound of a synth.
The first video release for 46bliss, this song is on the Veronica Mars TV Soundtrack CD. Created by Stephan Koplowitz.
"No Mistakes" is such a laid-back and comforting track that director harv was right to sit Classified in a chair on the porch and show him hanging out in his room, making beats, fiddling with a guitar, and sketching honest, self-deprecating and full-on funny lyrics by the side of his bed. So appropriate! And great to watch. The shots where the camera pulls back through tubes and rings are entrancing, and the slow zooms give the thing a subtle life that keeps your eyes on the screen. Although Class mentions that some of his past videos are better viewed with the picture off and the sound up, this is not one of them ? you?re gonna want to watch. - MuchMusic
Crave: A moment of Zen with the Buddha phone
It's everything from the Crave blog with Brian Tong and guest hostess Bonnie Cha. This week they gab about a new futuristic ride, USB bling bling, the Nokia N95 8GB, a Buddha phone, and an Allen Iverson Zune to stay away from.
As Kelly Willis planned to go into the studio last fall, she really didn't know what to expect. She had spent the four years since co-producing her 2002 album, the lovely, laid-back Easy, on family matters: her oldest son Deral, born in 2001, got three siblings -- twins Abby and Ben born in 2004 and baby Joseph, whose birth followed in early 2006. "This time around, I had absolutely no time or energy to be involved in the producer role at all," Willis recalls. So she called a guy "who lives and breathes music," whose instincts she loved and who she felt "really comfortable around": Chuck Prophet, the edgy singer-songwriter who contributed guitar to both Easy and 1999's acclaimed What I Deserve. Together, they would create the most sonically adventurous album of Kelly Willis' seventeen-plus-year recording career, "Translated From Love."

"Imagine: John Lennon Deluxe Edition" DVD excerpt: "Rock n Roll"
"Imagine: John Lennon" comes from a treasure trove: the legendary musician's own collection of more than 240 hours of film and videotape, much of it never seen by the public. With cooperation from Yoko Ono in its creation, producers David L. Wolper and Andrew Solt (partners on "This Is Elvis") transform the archival footage - and a monumental 36-tune soundtrack - into a spellbinding account of a complex, fascinating man. Lennon's own voice narrates "a classic film biography" (Roy Leonard, WGN-TV/Chicago).
