I wanted to cite two blog posts here, since they connect to my continuing obsession with "sequential narrative," the telling of long stories. From Kathryn VanArendonk, here are some thoughts on realism in TV narratives. She argues that the Uncanny Valley effect – a phenomenon in which computer rendering of humans hits a gap the closer it gets to realism – can also apply to TV shows. In essence, we accept gaps in logic in unrealistic shows, and we also accept a certain amount of unrealistic actions in procedurals, [...]

I took a trip to Kilburn to the Queens Arms pub , which has recently become a centre for Kosovars and Albanians in London . There, I met Baki and Ladi who drew their maps of Kosovo and Albania for me. (Things were a bit complicated: all these guys were Albanian, some of them from Kosovo. So I asked Baki from Kosovo (who is Albanian) to draw Kosovo, [...]

The track plays during a scene in which a group of drug dealers are transporting a shipment and stumble ...

Many people like to watch people while they're asleep. I usually consider that a couple of steps too close to the border of Creepville, I prefer observing commuters, travellers and drifters on public transport. Nikita Kyzmenko , a Polish cinematographer, does too. He photographs loved ones and strangers while watching them on the bus. And anyone on a (thought) track. Whether they're making plans or recovering from the dreams they wish they never had we can only guess, but Kyzmenko makes it his duty to capture the moments when fellow passengers get lost in thought. His priority is catching the light and [...]

Hace unos cuatro días tuve la oportunidad de ver una película que ha llamado mucho la atención por el trailer que ha circulado en la red desde hace un par de meses. El filme lleva por título simplemente "Hanna", nombre de la peculiar protagonista de este singular trabajo fílmico. Las imágenes de la cinta me remitieron inmediatamente al cine de la década de los noventa en donde la acción se mezclaba con una propuesta sumamente estilizada acompañada de una banda sonora techno, con una referencia clara hacia "Nikita" de Luc Besson . [...]

There's 3 out of 5 words in that post title that I cannot speak so knowledgeably about. So in doing some research, I'm making it a clean sweep and getting learned and loved on Nikita and Fritzy Scanner , and the subsequent remix spewing forth from the latter via the former's original song. Hopefully, you are also a little smarter and a little sweatier after diving in on this new tune. It's big. [...]

Concept seem familiar? NikitA is Ukraine's greatest sexual export. The entity consists of two very beautiful women who act awfully provocative in every music video they appear in. Unfortunately, gathering information is on these two is complicated due to the Cyrillic internet barrier, but I do know that they've appeared in Playboy and have 4 music videos . From much Googling, it seems the name of the track is 'Верёвки' which may or may not mean 'ropes'. Shake those hips, ladies.

November was sick. For real. We even had a long break cos of that bloody flue virus.

Today is my birthday, first song i listened to in my 22nd year of existence: Sunset Rubdown - I'll believe in Anything. That song is so fucking good. The wolf parade version is epic, the Sunset Rubdown version is heartwrenching. The rest of tonight is gonna be spent writing out goals for this year, #1 is still to have fun everyday. I don't give a fuck if i'm broke or if i'm ballin. I just wanna have fun, and I think all you people out there should do the same. Get up [...]

Yes, Nishi has reached its 100th release. To celebrate, they asked some past, present and future artists to submit tracks for a compilation album. The result is almost 3 hours of music spanning dozens of genres, styles, moods an not to mention several continents. Between the sublime washes from Pocka and Ambient Field, the dark glitch-pop of Samarah and John Tennant, and the relentless pounding of Elektro Punc and Sascha Müller, and everything in between, there really should be something for any electronic lover here. Selected Tracks: Fond Memories Come [...]
