I couldn’t picture a better video. Simple video, simple song, minimal theme, all is good.

In this section I post my occasional snippets of insight on outbound links that are necessary material in your cultural well-being. Josdigital in short bursts, if you will.
Animal Collective – “Brothersport”
This is the song that got me into the psychedelic AnCo repertoire, and the video is nothing but. Quite a head trip. Don’t do drugs kids, just watch this.
The Xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)
I’ve already declared Nosaj Thing a kid to look out for. Now listen to this impeccable remix, along with a Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck remix.
Jónsi – “boy lilikoi”
Jónsi of Sigur Rós goes english on a marvelous first track for a tba LP. Can’t wait.

Generation Kill
If you ever get the chance to pick up this exhilarating drama/action show, please do. I’m struck with awe (makingof).

Four Tet – “Love Cry” (Joy Orbison Remix)
New dubsteppy remix for the already masterly Love Cry is blissful and a whole lot epic. Delicious.
Air – “Sing Sang Sung”
“Love 2″ is kind of disappointing, what is not is this cute video, feels like a little ball rolling around in your eardrum.
Massive Attack – “United Snakes”
Gorgeous animated video for their 2010 album where being creative with abstract shapes is key. Full screen y’all.

Bat for Lashes: Two Plus Two
48-min feature on the creation of Natasha’s second album. She’s desirable, talented and has a great vision on music. Great watch.

Massive Attack – Psyche Remix
Pitchfork semi-bashes their new EP for staying true to their sound. Can somewhat relate, but ethereal Psyche is on heavy rotation here.

Lushlife Cassette City Feature
Only heard a few tracks but this gives me sort of the same feeling I had when I first heard Foreign Exchange’s Connected. Not groundbreaking, but incredibly refreshing nostalgia to 90′s hiphop.

Lenny Kravitz – “Let Love Rule” (Justice Remix)
Video for Justice’s take on “Let Love Rule” is again original an creative, I expected no less.

Keep Shelly In Athens – “Running Out Of You” •
Keep Shelly In Athens is definitely one to watch out for. Just watch this video, wait for the synth to drop and be amazed.

Nosaj Thing – “Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)” •
Jon Hopkins’ take on Us, featured on Drift Remixed, is a lot more aggressive. The video flows through the slaughter, preparation and devouring of a meal as its high point. The cleaning in heavenly light as its downfall. Great concept as the video perfectly aligns with the ambiance of the song.

Massive Attack – “Atlas Air” •
Massive Attack videos are exactly like their music. Dark, uncompromising in style with attitude and a slightly offset integrity. Serves as a prequel to the marvelous “Splitting the Atom” video.

I’m Still Here (2010)
The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.
Black Swan (2010)
Super intense melodramatic film making by one of my favs. It’s a scary nightmare condensed in one epic tale.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)
It’s too much of a kids film for me to enjoy, but the animation and cinematography looks gorgeous which makes up for a lot.
