Really nice collection for Indie music from 2008 found on Liftingfaces. 26 songs from A like Aderbat to N like Notwist and finally to Z like The Thalia Zedek Band. Get the MP3s here.
In this collection you can find the band Yeasayer whose song 2080 is for sure one of my top tracks for 2008. You can find as well a link to Blogotheque`s "Take away shows". The video you can see below is one of the two you can find here - I really like them!
I just felt in love with Tilt Shift Photography. After reading the blog entry at ISO50 i tried to work on some of my own images. Smashing Magazine sums up a lot of amazing photographies, tutorials and videos.
After working on some pictures i tried to do it on a short movieclip, too.

High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music from Plexifilm on Vimeo.
For all the music and especially electronic music lovers: "High Tech Soul - The Creation of Techno Music". Focusing on the city Detroit this is a great documentary about the invention and progression of electronic music.

This goes back to the idea of a phantascope invented in the middle of the nineteenth century. I really like the combination of such an old mechanical analog idea with modern technics like the small camera and the mechanics to control its movements.
If you want to know more about these old ways of moving images have a look at this side.

Just found these on swissmiss and I really like both!
I just had a look to the swiss SLF website which gives you informations about snowconditions and avalanche risks for switzerland. I was quite happy to see that they redesigned their website during this summer. They did a pretty good job what made it even more fun to see that there´s coming about one meter of fresh snow around the alps for the next few days. So get out your jackets and thick socks! Winter is coming...juchui!
Sometimes, when browsing the web, you end up at strange places and wonder how you came there but I really like that free downlodable japanese roots-reagge mix "KOR-1 dj mix: far from jamaica" as well as the 30min mix by "Onimas". "Temple ATS" itself is a japanese reocord label.
Finaly I am back to good cold germany but i already miss the daily surf sessions. Good to know that the swell height was always below 4.5 feet since i am back, while it was never below 5ft when i was there. When I came back a friend sent me a link to this crazy skateclip on youtube, right now i was checking thomas campbells homepage for news about his new film "the present" and found this in his blog - definitely crazy, creative and totally different ways of skateboarding.
My flight is on Tuesday and I will stay there till november so don´t expect much to happen here...hopefully I can post some pics from time to time.
