here & now

For obvious reasons we do a little journey to a time when music videos didn’t really exist: Roxy Music’s Do The Strand performed on TV in 1973. And we’re interested mainly in that silver-furry figure in the back, of course… yes indeed!

A rather fantastic video for a rather fantastic Monday morning: Braids.

The hugely successful hybrid project Moderat – namely the joint venture of Berlin dance floor institution Modeseleketor and electro pop wizard Apparat – are back with their second album in store, titled, well, Moderat II, which promises to further explore the meeting point between club and pop.

No video this morning, instead a full album’s worth of Monday music, with Darkside – aka Nicolas Jaar and Dave Herrington – remixing Daft Punk’s recent Random Access Memories in its entirety, funkily named Random Access Memories Memories by, erm, Daftside.

It certainly won’t do harm to start the week with a little Fiction, so why not…
