How appropriate that Charlotte Gainsbourg's beautiful, enticingly abstract new album I.R.M. follows her brave, ugly turn in Lars von Trier's violent, psychological-disembowelment-a s-film Antichrist . Gainsbourg, who walked out on the furthest limb with von Trier, won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival last year. Now, in an inspired partnership with Beck, she has released what might be one of the best albums of 2010. Not unlike Marianne, France's feminine allegory of liberty and reason, Gainsbourg has shown a rebellious streak throughout her career. She is a creature of dualities: an Anglo-French [...]
One of the happy coincidences to being The Official Blog for Record Store Day 2010 is that we're afforded the opportunity to underscore one of the main themes of the blog—namely that vinyl is a contemporary medium, one that's never really gone away, and is perhaps thriving and more vital than it has been in some time (DJ's, purists, and collectors notwithstanding.) So, to that end, we're [...]

This post isn't intended to be a definitive list of the most important music videos this year. It's simply five videos that I posted in 2009 that I like more than the rest. From the creative claymation of Grizzly Bear's Ready, Able to the quirky Heaven Can Wait by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck , these videos are my favorites. I love the farce of Jay Reatard's It Ain't Gonna Save Me and the simplicity of the Vivian Girls' Moped Girls [...]
Pünktlich zum Weihnachtsgeschäft kommt mit der neuen Release (früher hätte hier ja noch CD gestanden) der wunderbaren Charlotte Gainsbourg, Tochter des großartigen Serge , Popmusik für Erwachsene auf den Markt.

By now I'm sure you know that Charlotte Gainsbourg's new album IRM comes out on January 26th. I'm also positive that you know it was produced by Beck and that he co-wrote and performs on many of the tracks. Gainsbourg's now released the first video from the album for the track "Heaven Can Wait" and boy does it have a heavy Beck sound. Not only are his vocals often more prominent than

What the fuck just happened? Explanation after the jump.

There's also this tamer label version which is much more visible: Related Posts Remixes: Who's Pants? James Pants [...]
Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck - Heaven Can Wait from the album Irm [out Dec. 8] Recently on Comfort Radio: Nino Moschella - Are You For Real Portishead - Roads (kmotiv monk mix) Richard H Kirk - Poets Saints Revolutionaries...

repetita juvant: un video musicale non è altro che il breve spazio dove tutto è possibile. Il nuovo di Charlotte Gainsbourg e Beck è forse il più bello da molto, molto tempo a questa parte. Keith Schofield, già autore del viral XXX per Diesel e altre figate assortite disegna quello che ad una prima occhiata potrebbe sembrare un bellissimo e divertente affresco moderno. Uno di quelli che non si concentrano sulle figure in primo piano ma fa le pulci a ciò che accade in sottofondo, prendendosela con la classe media di cui tutti noi facciamo parte [...]
