I've been a big fan of Nina Paley since I saw this a few years ago.

I just watched her video about copyright abolition and thought I'd post the film here, in case you haven't seen it...



Mimi and Eunice is another of her creations, I really connect with:

OK, new to me. Tippped off to this Kenyan group, Sauti Sol, by a Jean Grae tweet.

Nice nice vibes, on the few tunes I've listened to so far...

Whattup Fu?! [mixtape]

I completely missed this but, Chip Fu aka Jungle Rock Jr. is dope! I was tipped off by a @AliShaheed tweet, that The Chipster is still at it, and will be on his new album this Summer.

Here's a 2009 mixtape..."Stop Playing!"

My Tribe is My Life [interactive]

I've watched/participated in about half of these now, and they are really cool. Kind of a people are strange/people are all the same short film-survey-info-app, ostensibly about social networks and music. It's pretty emmersive, and very well done. Just pick a character, and pay attention...

By the way, if you like short films, you have GOT to subsribe or otherwise train your attention on Canada's National Film Board. A LOT of really outstanding work!

No Going Back [acoustic]

Rox is another talented UK artist I've been watching/listening to for a while (found her around the same time as Andreya Triana). LOVE!

Checkher...

Great explanation from Andy Erikson and MPLS.TV:

Bonobo x Andreya Triana [sounds]

I stumbled across Andreya Triana last year sometime, while digi-diggin', and decided to keep a close eye on her. Love her sounds. I really think she's one of the "next" ones to blow. Then just a month or 3 ago, while looking for instrumental stuff to listen to while scripting at work, and bitching about my distaste for a lot of electronic music, a friend of mine introduced me to Bonobo. LOVE THEM TOO! I soon found that Andreya Triana has done vocals on numerous tracks with them. The Combination is always nice. Check them both out in this vid...



Let me know who else is gonna blow, and what other good electronic music I'm missing. There's a pretty narrow sweetspot for it with me but, I give most any music a fair shake.

PS: Here's another nice one by the pairing, I found while getting the links above, from Bonobo's site: [video]

Tiny Desk Rockin [npr]

I really love the Tiny Desk series from NPR. Here are a few of my favorites. You can see them all on their YouTube channel.
