Fashion Film “Spinning Out With Iris Strubegger” : Dir. Barnaby Roper
Antdude, it’s not a music video. It’s a music driven experimental piece made by an mv director. Don’t watch it!www.nowness.com
Barnaby recommends 5 films:www.nowness.com
wondering whether someone should repurpose shortsville to be a fashion-film catch-all. it’s a growing genre, and clearly there’s potential for a dedicated audience (albeit a slightly different demographic than mv’s), maybe evening community. if anybody’s up for it, let me know.
The Morning Mix: Justin Bieber’s Had One Busy Summer
Did You Hear?
:: E! Online counts down Justin Bieber’s best 5 moments from Summer 2010, from his segway getaway to his new BFFship with @kanyewest. How The Biebs downing a glass of milk didn’t make the list, we do not know. [E! Online]
:: Mixmaster Doctor Rosen Rosen is back with a La Roux remix for “In For The Kill.” [Arjan Writes]
:: Ne-Yo says Beyoncé’s next album will be “another direction” for her. Bey could record a spoken word album and we’re sure even that direction would lead to the top of the charts. [Rap-Up]

:: The Jonas Brothers—not just cute musicians, but also funny. And clearly good sports about this sort-of fake interviewer asking them questions like, “I understand one of you is married. Why?” [Buzzworthy]

Jac Holzman: The day Bob Dylan switched to the electric guitar
The history of music, it seems, is replete with rocky transitions.
Jac Holzman, who founded Elektra Records 60 years ago and is now back in the swing of things as senior advisor to Warner Music Group's Chief Executive Edgar Bronfman on the company's digital strategy, has seen quite a few.
For Holzman, one of the most memorable occured in 1965 and involved Bob Dylan. The place was the Newport Folk Festival, and Dylan was headlining the event. Described by Time magazine as one of the top 10 music festival moments, the broad details are well-known.
A young, 24-year-old Dylan, who had become an icon of folk music, was booed off the stage after playing three songs on an electric guitar. A number of friends and colleagues tried to persuade Dylan to finish his set, including Johnny Cash, Holzman said. When he came back on stage, an ill-humored Dylan sang "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." It would be 37 years before Dylan returned to the festival.

I know my last 4 posts have been fashion films, but there’s work being made in this realm. And worth sharing/exploring in relation to mv’s.
