DIE!DIE!DIE! - SIDEWAYS HERE WE COME
OFFICIAL SELECTION MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2008
WIRED MAGAZINE REVIEW
FAVOURITE ANIMATED VIDEOS
We got a heads-up today on a video for "Sideways Here We Come" from our favorite Kiwi post-punkers Die! Die! Die! -- and it's a cardboard-cutout good time. Which got us thinking about other interesting animated shorts that have functioned as videos in one way or another. Here's a couple that still hurt our brains.
Got some favorite animated videos of your own to add to the list? Let us know! The more, the better.
But first, Sideways Here We come:
Throw suburban ennui, the surveillance state, terror paranoia and thunderous riffs into a blender with Monty Python and Jan Svankmayer's found-media backgrounds, and you have this destabilized offering from New Zealand's noise trio. The video's lack of momentum juts strangely up against the kinetic bass and guitar of "Sideways Here We Come," but perhaps that is the point. The video was assembled by the Trophy Wife collective, which has other bizarre viz on its MySpace page. For a creepy good time, check out what they did to Voom's "Beautiful Day."

HER HAIRAGAMI SET - THE BRUNETTES
PITCHFORK MEDIA REVIEW -4th sept '07
The Brunettes' "Her Hairagami Set", a "Some Velvet Morning"-esque boy/girl back and forth about a hair-styling contraption you can buy on TV, is one of the year's more charming indie-pop songs. The video for the song, taken from the New Zealand band's Sub Pop debut Structure and Cosmetics, has stuck with us past Labor Day as one of the summer's more charming clips. It also helps explain "hairagami" for people who neither read Pitchfork reviews nor watch QVC.
Created by Trophy Wife Productions, the video brings the song's storyline to life in comic-book format. So you can read all the word bubbles for context as you watch the track's plain-Jane heroine turn herself into a "beautiful brunette" for the low, low price of just $12.95. To find the dorky boy of her dreams, she first must endure a scary nightmare full of taunts from a dude who looks like Gorillaz' Murdoc-- and whose head turns into a dessert item. Moral of the story: "Love finds losers too." That's why there's an Internet.

Who I'd like to meet:
Rich Old Men, hot bitches with money on their mind, musicians, actors and talent.
Hello there! Great to have you as a friend on myspace! If you get the chance, check out my compositions and leave me your thoughts! Thank you very much! Alex Zhu
Come on down to the PR Bar in Ponsonby this thursday night for the Indie Club, about eight o clock, only $10 and you get a free cd. (And I'm playing, and it will be quite good. Promise. )
i am in utter shock right now. my buddy showed me this web page to get a Macys shopping card but i didn't think it would actually work... but since she told me it only took like a min to do, i decided i'd give it a shot. IT ACTUALLY WORKED! i got it in my mailbox today, you should go get one too before they are all gone! think i'm shittin you? take a peep at THIS ...
thank you for the kind comparision in the Lady stakes of Trophywifedom (which is certainly quite a climb), Lady June suites my personality more than the Lady Mills McCartney types (which i know i should aspire to) don't you think? ie: I am not a lying whore
