Review: The best Swedish things ever: Fish. Meatballs. Thriller movies. (A)
This video is not only stunning, but also facinating (and totally deserving of the Academy Award). Who knew you could be over six and care about Ronald McDonald? Not I.
This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy + Ludovic Houplain. It was presented at the Cannes Film Festival 2009. It opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short. In this film there are two pieces of licensed music, in the beginning and in the end. All the other music and sound design are original. The opening track (Dean Martin “Good Morning Life”) and closing track (The Ink Spots “I don’t want to send the world on fire”) songs are licensed pre-existing tracks. All original music and sound is by, human (www.humanworldwide.com)

Song of the day: “Leavin’ Cincinnati” - Jake Speed and the Freddies.
I got a surprise $5 MP3 Giftcard for Amazon.com, so I finally was able to pick up some awesome local Jake Speed and the Freddies. This song here is one of my favorites - ah, who doesn’t love a little bluegrass tongue and cheek.
“I’m leavin’ Cincinnati, cause I’m scared of downtown…”

Song of the day: “Busy People” - The Limosines
GAH! I can’t stop listening to this song. Curse you addicting devil music! CURSE YOU
However, these lyrics are just too good not to share:
We’ll shoot the shit, ‘bout everything,
till you get sick of politics,
and flip on the TV screen,
we stare at the TV screen.
That Donnie Darko DVD, has been repeating for a week,
and we know every single word.
(Every single word).
I’ve got an iPod like a pirate ship,
I’ll sail the sea
with fifty thousand songs I’ve never heard.

Song of the Day: “Seven Nation Army” - a cover by Nostalgia 77 feat Alice Russell
This time, it’s my other brother who gave me a kick-butt song of the day. It’s not so much 4th of Julyie, but this Holiday’s all about freedom and doing what you want, right? Heck yes it is! Now if you’ll excuse, I’m going to cover lampposts with jelly and then set them on fire. Freedom, baby!
