A rough version of a current project that I started working on in Ramin Bahrani’s directing class at CU last semester.
Sound issues and general problems. The music is rough, but you get the idea.
quality.
Kostas showed this to me.
A friend showed me this video clip. “What’s a Girl To Do” by Bat for Lashes; video directed by the successful Dougal Wilson. I think it’s really cool – trippy.
A short article about the clip found here.
Buckleys fall from Grace continues – Music – Entertainment – theage.com.au
In my eyes, Jeff Buckley could never fall from Grace. The fact remains that the only album he released is one of the most amazing albums, and in my opinion the most amazing album, that has ever existed. For a Jeff Buckley fan it’s kind of tough to read an article like this without having a highly torn attitude. Although positive and lovingly nostalgic about Jeff Buckley, the author of this article writes about the mass of Jeff Buckley releases since his passing in 1997. Numerous live albums, DVDs, and the release of his unfinished second album, which he was unhappy with (he wanted to start it again), followed his amazing album, Grace. For the Jeff Buckley fan, these releases are yet another bit of Jeff we can listen to, and cling to. Yet perhaps his memory has been marred by the numerous releases that were unplanned by him, and surely opposed by Jeff Buckley “purists” – and if Jeff was still living now, I doubt anything we have heard since Grace, would have been released as it has been. I hope when people who aren’t fans listen to music by Jeff Buckley that isn’tfrom Grace (the original – I’m not talking about the legacy version or any other altered version), that they remember that his only intentional album was Grace. People like Dicko from Aus Idol can criticise Grace for whatever reasons, but the linked article points out – from respectable sources – a few reasons why it is such an amazing album. Although I sometimes think that it would’ve been better for Grace to be the only released album, I still regard Live at Sin-e as such an amazing work.
Such an amazing song. Black by Pearl Jam. YouTube has everything! I could even pick my favorite version… cos Eddie forgot the words in one performance (because it had “been a while”) and in another the levels were annoying so the audience was too loud; then there are other recordings from mobile phone; other recordings with advertising; and some with other people playing covers of black (sigh).
This is partially here because Jeff Buckley is my favorite artist – it’s sad that he’s gone – and although this song wasn’t on Grace, it’s one of his greatest (in my opinion) and he often played it live. I can really hear his eastern musical influence in this song.
This song is also here because I’m trying to work out how to embed video in this blog.
