	Listened to White Flag (Feat. Bashy, Kano & The National Orchestra For Arabic Music) - Gorillaz.
	Listened to Rhinestone Eyes - Gorillaz.
	White Flag (feat. Bashy, Kano & the National Orchestra for Arabic Music) is just insane. What a beat! Never thought a flute could rock. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Stylo (feat. Mos Def & Bobby Womack) - Gorillaz.
	Okay, Rhinestone Eyes could’ve almost been on Demon Days from the style. Still nice. [yakobusan]
	Stylo (feat. Mos Def & Bobby Womack) is so… Can’t find the word. Stylish? ;) [yakobusan]
	Listened to Superfast Jellyfish (feat. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul) - Gorillaz.
	Superfast Jellyfish (feat. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul) is a little bit boring, honestly. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Empire Ants (Feat. Little Dragon) - Gorillaz.
	Listened to Glitter Freeze (Feat. Mark E Smith) - Gorillaz.
	Empire Ants (feat. Little Dragon) is beautiful. The voice is so soft, the feeling so warm. And nice buildup in the middle. Great song! [yakobusan]
	Glitter Freeze (feat. Mark E Smith) must be the discotheque entry of the disc, as it’s quite fast and danceable. Freaky sounds, cool! [yakobusan]

	On Melancholy Hill has a great melody and beat. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Sweepstakes (feat. Mos Def & Hypnotic Brass Ensemble) - Gorillaz.
	Broken is a pretty deep song, with a nice vibe in the background. I like the tempo a lot. [yakobusan]
	Sweepstakes (feat. Mos Def & Hypnotic Brass Ensemble) is exactly what you’d expect from a Gorillaz song with Mos Def. Nuts, but cool nuts. [yakobusan]
	Listened to To Binge (Feat. Little Dragon) - Gorillaz.
	Plastic Beach (feat. Mick Jones & Paul Simonon) is totally old skool and runs smoothly in the background. Weird, creative tones all over it. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Cloud Of Unknowing (feat. Bobby Womack & sinfonia ViVA) - Gorillaz.
	To Binge (feat. Little Dragon) is much more lyrics driven then other songs on Gorillaz’ new album Plastic Beach. Very elegant nevertheless. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Pirate Jet - Gorillaz.
	Cloud of Unknowing (feat. Bobby Womack & Sinfonia Viva) is a sad and touching song. Goosebumps when the violins hit in! It feels too short. [yakobusan]
	Listened to Pirate’s Progress - Gorillaz.
	Pirate Jet has a very positive tone, but it’s way too short! Great beat though. [yakobusan]
	Pirate’s Progress is a great end song, very dramatic and cinematically epic. Completely different from all other songs though. [yakobusan]
	Gorillaz delivers once again with Plastic Beach: A bunch of very different songs, but all with style. Recommended! 4.5/5. [yakobusan]

“Nuit Blanche”

Jakob Montrasio — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:00:19 +0000

Once or twice per year I stumble upon a video or a film that captures me with it’s magic, that inspires me, that makes me want to become a filmmaker. Nuite Blanche is such a video.

I am speechless. This short deserves awards, lots of them. It’s perfectly smooth, everything about it is done well (the lighting! the costumes! the actors!) and it gives me goosebumps even the fourth time I watch it.

Well done, Mister Arev Manoukian, well done.

Update:

The Making Of. Now I’m even more blown away. Holy shit is this well produced.

Bamboo.

Jakob Montrasio — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 06:40:57 +0000

Anji produces 12 million commercial bamboo poles annually, ranking first nationwide. It also has China’s largest bamboo nursery. The Anji Bamboo Garden is acknowledged by scholars within and outside China as containing the widest variety of bamboo to be found. It was formerly a bamboo grove research base that combined scientific research with teaching, and has received many foreign experts and scholars and officials from the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan. (Wikipedia)

Movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or House Of The Flying Daggers were partly shot here.
