MYSPACE OF THE MONTH - June 2008

We like the Internet and all the cool people, places and things you can find on it. It has never been easier to show your ideas and have a platform for your creations whether that’s underground Techno, street war games or just random stuff.

Here for your enjoyment are a selection of clips that have been making the Electronic Beats team push that deadline back just a little bit more.

MySpace Of The Month June 2008:

Hyeno

When an envelope, within an envelope, containing three feathers, and the four kings from a deck of playing cards arrives on my desk, with just a myspace page for information I can't help but be intrigued. If Nitzer Ebb and DJ Shadow decided to soundtrack some Avant-Garde films of the 1930's I have a feeling it may sound something like this. And that's not going to happen any time soon, so satisfy yourself with Hyeno's doom filed rumblings in the mean time. 

Fail Dogs

OK, so it's not even a myspace. It is certainly not as high brow as Hyeno. In fact, it's so low brow it's no brow, but sometimes that's just how we roll at Electronic Beats. If you don't find pictures of dogs failing at being successful pets funny, then perhaps it's time to look behind the sofa for your sense of humour. I love this.

Alex Forge

So if we have low brow, and high brow, we need something to balance out the stupid and the serious. Alex Forge is a young film maker based in Berlin making videos, from what I can see, mostly on his phone. And they are quite simply brilliant. Funny, poignant and serious, often in the same frame. If this guy is not famous in 5 years time, I will eat my shoes. Dirty old laces and everything.
