Jini's Pick of the Week - Staying Alive gig

If you find yourself at a loose end in London this Tuesday, here's an awesome cause to support with a gig thrown in to boot. Staying Alive is MTV's global HIV and AIDS awareness and prevention campaign and they're throwing yet another fundraising event with great new music.

Head on down to Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen this Tuesday March 31st for this gig featuring the likes of Ebony Bones, Lissy Trullie, The Odd Squad & Dan Smith (with DJ sets from Plugs and Cherry Cola).

Tickets are available here for £7 or £8 on the door. Doors open 6.30pm and show starts at 8pm.

Trailer to "Where the Wild Things Are" directed by Spike Jonze

"Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak is a classic children's picture book and a very iconic piece of American literature (even though it has a total of 10 sentences of text within it). The story tells the tale of Max, a boy who's sent to his room without supper for causing some mischief. Max ends up going on an imaginary adventure where he encounters some fantastic characters, known as "The Wild Things."

(checkout this and 12 other photo stills over at USA Today)

The book has a massssssive cult following and buzz around a potential film has been abound for years. Well now thanks to Director Spike Jonze (ye of stylish films AND music videos) the story comes to life in a unique take on live action. I haven't had the time to do any in depth reading on the making of this project, but from the looks of this trailer, the Wild Things characters look to be a mix of live action and CG. Jonze's distinct visual art-piece style is perfect for this tale and the trailer features music by the Arcade Fire (who seem to be featured in the trailers to every VISUALLY stunning film recently). Kick back, feel nostalgic, and enjoy:

Seeing as Spike Jonze AND his brother Sam (aka DJ Squeak E Clean of N.A.S.A.) have both recently finished some amazingly creative projects, I'd love to see some video remixes of Where the Wild Things released featuring some N.A.S.A. music!

"Valentino: The Last Emperor" Documentary Trailer

Valentino Garavani is a legend in the fashion world, and quite possibly the last of a great generation of Italian haute couture designers. "Valentino: The Last Emperor" is a documentary profiling the man in a unique and intimate manner. Matt Tyrnauer of Vanity Fair directed the film, and it's been getting a ton of buzz on the festival circuit. Film AND Fashion fans out there, kick back and enjoy:

Behind the Scenes Feature on the Radiohead x USC Marching Band Grammy Performance

FoundTrack's Winter '09 Collection (Track 7/22) - Theresa Andersson - Birds Fly Away

Theresa Andersson - Birds Fly Away (Track 7/22)
Album - Hummingbird, Go! (Sample/Purchase)
Label - Basin St. Records

Photo Taken By Miranda Penn Turin

Theresa Andersson is a New Orleans based, singer songwriter with a penchant for unconventionality. Instead of seeking refuge in recording her debut album, Hummingbird, Go! in the outskirts, Theresa sought inspiration from her own environment and the earthy and organic elements of the lands she knew best. From her adopted home in New Orleans, she inherited the sounds of its rich musical landscape, with featured guest and Louisiana legend, Allen Touissant. Theresa also found a great source in the wonderful think tank that is her kitchen, which was the studio where she recorded her demos and her full-length. Soda pop bottles mimicked sounds of the vibraphone and instead of a keyboard she rubbed the rims of filled wine glasses. Theresa beatboxed the percussive elements and slide guitar textures were taken from her specialty instrument, the violin. And yet, Hummingbird, Go! also brought Andersson full circle, back to her childhood home: The Swedish island of Gotland, in the Baltic Sea, as she happened upon acclaimed producer Tobias Froberg (Peter Moren) at a New Orleans club and he would eventually turn into her productioin chief, providing some of her native Scandinavian indie pop and adding Norwegian artist Ane Brun to the guestlist on the final product. In order to replicate this home-made album on tour, Theresa has crafted a one-woman band set-up, using two looping pedals and a variety of effects. This captivating showmanship can be best seen in one of the videos that gave her worldwide appeal on youtube, such as this home video from her kitchen of our featured "Birds Fly Away".



Birds on the street says Theresa killed it in Austin. Be sure to check her myspace for updates on her touring schedule.
