Scopitones!

A one word goldmine! Scopitones, the granddaddy of MTV. Starting off in France, this 'spectacular new entertainment medium' spread throughout Europe & the States during the 60's, showcasing all manner of campy goodness - in full-colour & full-sound! Bars, taverns, nite spots & nite clubs played host to these 16mm movie jukeboxes, giving punters access to a bevy of scintillating films, famous faces & swinging tunes, all at the drop of a few coins. Damn that's cool. COZ

Blam! 80's Italo Disco.




Not Italo but also cool, Glass Candy. Modern synthy polyester fairy floss.



Let's make band! COZ

This I like. Saves having to dub from a turntable & saves you contributing to any download stat charts.

Swede Swede Music

Even though the bulk of the output from this concept will be mostly unwatchable to anyone other than the makers, the spirit behind it is gold... and while I'm sure it's been happening since the first PXL 2000 hit the shelves, it took Def, Black & Gondry to popularise it... & assign a suitable neologism. So 'sweding' it is.

"You wanna know what sweding is? You take what you like... and mix it with some other things you like... and make a new thing. Your thing. It's putting you in to the thing you like."

I love this shit. Makes me wish we had of made that Ninja Scroll fan movie all those years ago.

The DIY aesthetic lives on.
