A bit (e) size video form the launch fo In Super VGA for late last year. Directed, Edited, Chopped and diced by Sean Walker. Respect.

Right here we’ve got the brand new Pomomofo video clip for Tamagotchi Girl, directed by animator extraordinaire, Dave Carter. The clip is all in 25 frame per second, handmade, stop go animation (think early South Park) and exclusively uses body parts and random cut-outs from old Russian magazines. Making what you could call playscale Frankensteins.

To say the least, it makes a pretty damn odd and pretty damn cool effect, one that perfectly matches the Pomomofo aesthetic of off beat, geeked out dance music.

Tamagotchi Girl was taken from the In Super VGA E.P.

Further updates on the band will be coming very soon.

Check out this clip from MSTRKRFT’s South By South West show that some of our buddies over at One Love filmed. At the Dim Mak party cops with riot gear and horses (!) shut down their show when the crowd was way beyond the venue’s capacity. Prompting the crowd to almost cause a riot while chanting “Fuck The Police”!!!

Crazy.

This is just about the 1,000,000th reason that I should have gone to SXSW this year…….

Can’t you just picture this happening at a Walter Meego show???

Amsterdam artist / producer / remixer extraordinaire Don Diablo has just handed us his mix of Girls and the results are outstanding! His own post of the track on YouTube has had over 2,500 hits while ours has only had a (comparatively) measly 1,000. Lets start the second not-so-inaugural Bandroom competition and see who can click on our video the most to push its hits way above his! The winner gets a digital smile*!

All of us men wish we cloud have this effect on women: that we could walk past them and due to our ungodly attractiveness, cunning wit and the fact that we’re cool like Lou Reed was in the seventies that they would be swept away forever in gails of wind, lust and genuine admiration. But only two men have ever been capable of living that dream: Colin Yarck & Justin Sconza, or the guys from Walter Meego.

The two of them practically can’t even walk down a street without causing a ruckus. But if you can’t take my word for it and you need proof check out the new video for their latest single “Girls” just below.

In anticipation of Anoraak & College’s upcoming Australian tour, both Bandroom Records and One Love are offering 2 double passes to see Anoraak and College in any of the One Love clubs throughout Australia, whether thats in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide.

All you need to do is tell us what song deserved to make it into Triple J’s Hottest 100 this year. Points will be awarded for creativity, humour and making us feel better because we couldn’t nudge Sex On Fire from the top spot. E-mail info@bandroomrecords.com.au with your answers before Thursday the fifth of February and you will be in the draw to win.

Also, just for the sake of proliferating the spread of quality music, here’s the BMX Remix of Anoraaks’ “Nightdrive With You”. Big Stereo has already called it part of a “soundtrack for endless summers and first loves” and we couldn’t agree more.

Nightdrive With You – BMX Remix

13/02/09 – Electric Circus / Adelaide
14/02/09 – Prince Bandroom / Melbourne

From Anoraak – “Ok so here’s the story

Couple of months ago we came across this track from Sally Shapiro called “Anorak Christmas”
Obviously it called for an anoraak remix !
We agreed with her and her management to do a remix for christmas with no commercial use in mind
Just a gift to all the people who followed her work and ours and might enjoy this little christmas treat
