Heroes for Ghosts (music video)

Following a total eclipse of the moon, the music video for the pre-released The Gathering song has just been released. Written, directed, filmed and edited by Marcus Moonen, their friend, the clip has been shot in Norway (Silje’s homeland) in its entirety.

After numerous listens I can assert that Heroes for Ghosts is still masterfully composed: especially the instrumental parts range from ethereal beauty to angry oscillation. The video just strengthens these impressions. Do yourselves a favour and watch it in HD.

I wrote about Juliana Daily’s music back in February noting that her original songs are unfortunately not accessible internationally. I’m happy to announce this is no longer the case: for barely a price of a beer ($3) you can get either the Falls From Trees EP or the Birdsongs EP, each with three numbers. As per Bandcamp standards a plethora of lossy and lossless formats are available.

For encouragement, here’s her latest cover of Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground by The White Stripes.

The Gathering quite unexpectedly released a surprise track from their upcoming album the title of which is yet to be announced. The song is called Heroes for Ghosts and in exchange for an email address you can download it in any format your heart desires. You can also listen to it here. It’s awesome.

“The surviving members of Pink Floyd reunited onstage tonight at London’s 02 Arena during a stop on Roger Waters’ Wall tour – marking only the second time that Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Waters had played together in the last 30 years.” (Rolling Stone)

This is one of those once in a lifetime moments.

Az angolok a tömegközlekedésből csináltak szuper közösségi játékot.

Persze úgy könnyű, hogy az Oyster card rendszer miatt az adatok begyűjtésének problematikája már meg is oldódott. Mennyivel élvezetesebb lehet úgy metrózni, hogy közben elfoglalhatod a megállót, vagy pontokat gyűjthetsz az átszállással.

“Gratulálunk, ezzel az utaddal megszerezted a Körbe-körbe a Körúton jelvényt!”

Plusz tényleg össze lehetne kötni kedvezményekkel, Foursquare-rel. Ha turista jön, kaphatna a reptéren kis csomagot kártyával meg soknyelvű játékszabállyal, így a BKV-vel nézhetne várost.

Technológia szövi át minden tevékenységünk. A telefonjainkkal, mágneskártyáinkkal, blogjainkkal, közösségi hálóinkkal, képmegosztókkal és csiripeléssel végtelen adathalmazt, adatnyomot teremtünk miközben átutazunk az életünkön.
