Currently I´m listening over and over again to latest liars record drum´s not dead. If you don´t know or got it yet, buy it, don´t download it. It´s worth. Not only cause of the great graphic design (I have to confess not liking it in the beginning, but loving it now), which is a visual "augenschmaus" related to mexican technoflyers (Designed by band member Julian Gross, who did also most of the yeah yeah yeahs designs). It also contains a dvd with 3 videoclips for each song (equals 36) directed by band members Angus Andrews, Julian Gross and by formerly Bauhaus student, award winning filmmaker and glitz dj Markus Wambsganss. Also Markus´ clip for liars´ “the other side of mount heart attack” was in my eyes one of the greatest clips in 2005. There´s so much to write about liars´ work and transformation from hippest dance post punk to avantgard experimental whatever, about consistently being inconsistent and surprise expectations with innovations beyond hype. It´s a record to listen over and over again to get used to and to discover all hidden elements making you wow. But better read the pitchfork review. Or check out liarsliarsliars.com or their myspace site to listen to their tunes. Meantime on my trip through Columbia i´m looking forward meeting some indios, playing them this record to see what happens.

interview with photographer and music video director Floria Sigismondi about her creative process and new photography book Immune, published by die Gestalten. I always wondered why she´s the last not to have a "director-file" dvd released.

there´s also an interview with Richard Linklater (Slackers, Waking Life, School of Rock, Before Sunset) about his new film based on the novel by Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly (starring Winona, yeah) on cool hunting
