New High Wire Music Video


THE HIGH WIRE
 LNOE Video
Released 29 July 2013
Starring Ray Winstone
Directed by Mat Whitecross

This video and song are not going to make you want to get up and dance, but not all songs are meant to do that. This is one that makes you slow down and think. Check out The High Wire’s music video here or click on the link below to show them your support.

To coincide with the release of LNOE as a single on 29 July 2013, The High Wire are now sharing the official video. Directed by Mat Whitecross (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, The Road To Guantanamo, Spike Island) and starring Ray Winstone, the video is set against the backdrop of Whitecross’ stunning film noir Ashes (2013) – an engrossing rumination on love over time, plagued by unanswered questions and lingering sadness.  Beautifully shot, it centers on Alzheimers-afflicted Frank (Winstone), whose surroundings are constantly changing and out of focus. Highlighting Frank’s condition and past relationship with his wife (played by Lesley Manville), the video perfectly suits the darker emotional undercurrent of the track. By turns abstract and heart wrenching, the video shares the apocalyptic bent of Fight Club’s skyscraper climax, fitting for a song as massive as LNOE.

Ghost Loft Astronaunt Remix

JOEL COMPASS

“ASTRONAUT (GHOST LOFT REMIX)”
OUT NOW
 
The London-born singer, songwriter, and producer Joel Compass offers an impressive combination of undeniable talent and huge commercial appeal. His latest track, “Astronaut,” got the Ghost Loft treatment this week, and now you can take it in. It’s got all of Ghost Loft’s trademarks – those spacey synths most especially. And don’t worry, it’s still got that awesome falsetto courtesy of Joel Compass. How could it not?
This is one where it makes me feel like I’m in a dream sequence.  “Astronaut” is a slower song and isn’t one that will have you up and dancing like crazy.  It is one were I could see danced to as a slow song where you have your partner in close and sharing this strange yet graceful dream.  I don’t know if I could listen to it multiple times in a row, but it is unique enough that I would have a place on my playlist for slower songs.

One Piece Ice Cream Makers

If you are in Japan and are a One Piece fan you might want to stop by a Kentucky Fried Chicken.  For a limited time when you purchase certain combo meals you can receive a One Piece ice cream maker.  The ice cream makers have images of: Luffy; Chopper; and the Straw Hat Crew.  I still love how companies in Japan have fun with their popular culture figures.

Cool Thing To Do

This is a cool thing that the window washers agreed to do for the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.  The window washers dressed up as Captain America, Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman and greeted children at the windows on each floor as they went down the side of the hospital one floor at a time.  The hospital helped by purchasing the costumes and letting the gentlemen take pictures with the children.  Very cool gesture from everyone involved.  You can read the complete story with the link below.
