Mill guests Darwin Deez have released their music video for the song “Radar Detector” (blogged about here).
The video is fun, showing the band being quirky and endearing… that sounds about par for the course.
OK Go - This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg Machine version
I am not too familiar with Ok Go’s music, but this video needed to be posted. Ok Go made an alternate video for their single “This Too Shall Pass”. The video is based on a Rube Goldberg Machine (a deliberately over engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction). Everything in this video is one working chain reaction started by a car hitting dominoes in the very beginning. This video is one of the coolest music videos I have ever seen. Enjoy
-Austen
Here’s a cute, kinda funny short film I found. It’s called “Babe” and it centers around two recently broken up yuppies. On the surface, there’s much to love: some Chet Baker and Nat King Cole songs, an argument over who “gets the Prius” - both amidst the backdrop of a drab, black and white diner.
I’d say its trying to self depreciatingly poke fun at the urban, liberal, mildly hip twentysomethings who can often get way too caught up in themselves – basically the exact same demographic who would read a blog called “All Plaid Out”, which is where I found the film. (Did I just implicate myself?) 
What type are you?
if you’re looking to procrastinate, check out this interactive video called “What Type Are You?” put on by design company, Pentagram.
Answering four basic questions, you are told which typeset best matches your personality. The experience is done with well shot video clips and a clean layout.
Apparently, I am a “Universal” type (because I’m rational, understated, progressive, and relaxed).
also, great show last night everyone! thanks for coming out!
CAN SHE PLEASE COME TO THE MILL????
and to keep the advertising going …
Art History in a music video!
duuuudess…Foals. They’re back and with a second album to be released in May called Total Life Forever. This music video is of their new song, “Spanish Sahara.” I just love it.
ps. i’m extremely upset that i can’t come to the body language gig :(
BODY LANGUAGE.
Body Language is going to be here THIS SATURDAY AT 10 PM AT THE MILL.
Holycrap.
As Big Stereo puts it, Body Language is like “worn out cassette tapes playing back big pop tracks, not quite chillwave but not quite club — a beautiful healthy mix.”
Body Language is a 5-piece outfit from Brooklyn (because who isn’t these days) who are being hailed all over the place as a move-your-feet act that can bring the noise. Comparisons with Friends Electric, Little Boots, Crystal Method, Toro Y Moi, Hey Champ, Treasure Fingers, and Yes Giantess (who has rocked TrinColl twice already) abound, so you know what you’re getting yourself into… In other words, prepare to sweat. At the same time, though, they’re subtle - you decide how hard you want it to hit.
Here are some tracks not to miss from their 5-song release Speaks EP…
“Huffy Ten Speed”
A nonsensical hymn for our generation, featuring hypnotically dark synths and a build to boot that erupts in an addicting chorus.
“Work This City”
Barry White with synths - laid back electronica that is simultaneously sexy, incredibly well layered, and fun to move your feet to.
Yes Giantess - “Demons” (Body Language Remix)
This is how Yes Giantess would sound if they were zombies playing in the middle of an empty ampitheater for the last time before the apocalypse hit. This is absurdly good.
So stop by. Gaffney, Fadil, and Austen will all be DJ-ing hard starting at ten before Body Language hits it. Tickets $2 and can be purchased in advance by e-mailing miltix@gmail.com. Get them fast - they will sell out.
Body Language @ The MILL
