My Name Is Music - This Is Your Life

Kudos to My Name Is Music’s Phoebe, I would never dare to perform in a crowd all by myself. Or maybe I would, now that I’ve seen this video; it looks like a lot of fun. Includes gratuitous Kika Werbung.

Scenesters’ spielen mit Catastrophe & Cure

Unsere Lieblingskolleginnen von den Scenesters’ klären mit zwei Dritteln der frischgebackenen Amadeus-Gewinner Catastrophe & Cure unter anderem, wie der Bandname jetzt richtig ausgesprochen wird. 

Oh no! - Susanna Sawoff

Between the chocolate cake keyboard, anthropomorphic candles and animated steam, this video is so full of whimsy, it must’ve eaten radishes.

The Beth Edges - Still Yours

It’s a hit!

Invite the right ones tonight

Bruch - Chemicals

Hypnotic even without chemicals. 

Francis International Airport - The Right Ones
in GIFs

With close ups, a lot of motion and even more bokeh, this video adds a nightly atmosphere to the song but also takes many cues from the music and lyrics.

Shot by both sides - Crystal Soda Cream

The new Crystal Soda Cream video is all silent film aesthetics, ghost and a cameo by yours truly(’s stickers that we spread all over town)!

One crappy cellphone picture of Neodisco, fluc, Vienna, April 30 2013

Neodisco concerts are a great place to feel old for those of us born when the Berlin wall was still a thing. It doesn’t matter much because Neodisco are really good in making you remember the carelessness of when you actually believed you would finish your degree in Mindeststudienzeit.

My absolutely favourite thing about the gig was that they changed the 20 fat Viennese tourists to mere naked ones in “Stubenberg am See”. That’s very considerate. Not really necessary but eh, if they wanna be polite.

Exploitation Blues - I-Wolf & The Chainreactions

For a song that has both exploitation and blues in its title, it’s really upbeat.

It was spring for, like, two days and all of a sudden it’s summer, and you know what that means: everybody’s hormones are going crazy. But even if you don’t meet someone to your liking at these concerts, there is still booze and music. Perfect.

Andi & Alex - Imma nu da söbe sicha ned da gleiche

Ugh, life. It never stops changing, does it? It’s horrible / it’s great.

The Beth Edges - Once (Live Session)

Flawless Instagram aesthetics. Boring or beautiful or both, you decide.

Deicer - Sex Jams

A good old fashioned live video shot at one of my favourite cinemas in town.

Runaway (Kanye West) - Tony Ross

Don’t worry, the triangle is only there because “Tony Ross” wasn’t available on soundcloud anymore. Says the gap, from where we’ve learned about all of this. Tony Ross covers hip hop and r’n’b songs. She slows them down and adds this ghost/witchy/dreamy/eerie veil that everybody adds these days and that I used to not like, until I found Tony Ross.
