Jane Birkin sings serge Gainsbourg VIA JAPAN

Jane Birkin was the muse and lover of Serge Gainsbourg and became world famous for their duet "Je t'aime moi non plus" and the controversy that followed.

After the death of Gainsbourg stepped Birkin among spotlights to come to focus on writing and her ceaseless work for humanitarian charities. At the request of fans, however, she took the microphone in hand again and took aim at the Gainsbourg-testament to the widest possible audience.

And she did, in the most diverse forms: Serge in pop, Arabesque, for classic quartet, with 14 musicians, with 6 musicians, ... Birkin had everything taken out, so she thought. Until the disaster in Japan took place exactly two years ago, in March 2011: the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima grabbed her so hard that she decided immediately to fly and do where they excel: the repertoire of Serge Gainsbourg new to life. Of these concerts is now a live registration recorded for release. Chante Jane Birkin Serge Gainsbourg "Via Japan" is an adventure that unexpectedly resulted from solidarity for Japan. It is also an opportunity to breathe new life into the magnificent texts of Gainsbourg, with new jazzy and rhythmic arrangements and a setlist of cult songs.

This release is digital only, preorder on iTunes:

Diesel and Edun - A denim collection born in Africa

Diesel and EDUN have joined forces to co-design a new collection that goes beyond fashion.
Inspired by African creativity, the collection is sourced and manufactured in Africa with the finest
CCI (Conservation Cotton Initiative) cotton from Uganda.


The two brands’ rock attitude runs through the collection. Note the biker elements on the jackets,
with their round collars and patched sleeves: these motorcycle influences are inspired by probably
the most popular mode of transportation seen through-out Africa. Decorative stitching is another
important element, including triple stitching on blue denim and jagged red stitching, especially vivid
on white. Buttons continue the sense of detail: a mix of resin and powdered horn, or rough metal
finishing.

*Marit Östberg is a filmmaker and visual artist, based in Stockholm and Berlin. Her works are often focused on images of queer bodies and sexualities. She sees her work in a wider context of feminist fights and histories and her visual world has been described as uncompromising. Uncompromisingly current. Uncompromisingly sexy. Uncompromisingly political.

"The film 'Full of Fire' started to grow as an embryo in the song´s lines 'Who looks after my story'. Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity of human´s lives, desires and conditions? The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."
- Marit Östberg

Sigur Rós' Valtari Mystery Film Experiment

Mystery Film Experiment blows up

Sigur Rós’s ambitious plan to make a film for every track on this summer’s ‘Valtari’ album draws to a close today with one of the series’ most ambitious submissions from director Floria Sigismondi. The flyblown 10-min mini-epic features indie movie stars Elle Fanning and John Hawkes, as father and daughter, one of whom may be dead.

Watch the film here:  http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/valtari/videos/solace-floria/

The sixteenth film in the series, it renews Sigur Ros's relationship with Sigismondi, who in 2003 won the European MTV video of year for the band's ‘Vaka', in which gas-masked school children played in the black snow of a nuclear winter.  

Valtari Film Experiment DVD / Blu-ray / download 

In the New Year, all 16 Valtari films are to be collected together on DVD, Blu-ray and download for release on Feb 11th as the ‘Valtari Film Experiment’.  The release will include all 14 films commissioned by the band, alongside the two winning entries from the parallel public competition, plus three additional making-of features.
