Heh, I would have been going AAAAAAAA!! too at that chorus, if I was in that crowd.

And agreed with Bart, great progress in the stagecraft.

I am sure I read here about the spotiify playlist of Laneway artists, and yet I can't seem to find the post: I wanted to thank that poster. I can't go this year, and the playlist both provides some solace and increases my regret at not being there. Haven't seen…

Newton Central "The best little school in the world" this track really made my day thanks.
My children's old school, as they viewed the video and said that's room14 and there's Eleanor and there's Otis etc it made me feel very Kiwi.
As for Lorde have the Australians claimed her…

First live performance of 'Yellow Flicker Beat', at Berkeley Greek Theatre.

seen this recent collaboration?

I love Tali's rap on 'Providence'. It's so bustling.

Russell Brown

What an honest piece of film, too.

It is. There is inevitably artifice in getting the shots for a video like that, but it feels authentic, and committed to the making of the music.

But good point: how many of the songs actually appear in the film? That's well outside my area of understanding.

My understanding is that the film itself only has an orchestral score, with "Yellow Flicker Beat" and a couple of other songs from the soundtrack playing on the closing credits.…

Oh, stop it.

But Caribou was at Splore a couple of years ago, yes? (I couldn't go because of my tiny spawn.)

I love Jakob. And when I say that, what I mean is that I love Jakob. For various reasons, including the fact that they providing the soundtrack to me falling in love with my wife, their beautiful music means a great deal to me, and it is such a grand…

The Laneways lineup is crazy good. I don’t understand how it can be soooooo good?

These things seem to be 90% obscenely hard work, carefully cultivated contacts, sound instincts (virtually indistinguishable from inspired guesswork) and just a dash of good luck for seasoning. :)

Geoff Lealand

Pretty much zilch, but was an interesting collection with songs related to the film--even Taylor Swift!

I think I've said this before, but one of the things I appreciate about Lorde's better songs are the great electro sounds with her awesome alto. I get really tired of wispy high-pitched female vocals with grubby electronica (I love Massive Attack – they're guilty too).

Lorde is a refreshing…

And finally, I’ve never heard the original of this

Russell, don't you follow everything I post here? I'm not a cello fan, but he's doing things with it.

That's not one of Ben Sollee's better songs, but I it remixes well.

hey Simon, really? quietly boo...but I'd have to admit his foray into dad psych was rather clunky.

A late-breaking Soundcloud gem.

It's The Reflex's birthday, and also that of some guy called Bo Saris. So this edit got posted.

Delightful funk.

So from acts I've seen: I'd rather have Caribou than Belle & Sebastian, he's fantastic live.

Oh, stop it.

I saw St Vincent with David Bryne and collectively they were excellent, she should be good on her own. Alan, I've seen Hawley a couple of times and he didn't really move…

well, I'd swap everyone on that Laneways bill for just one Richard Hawley gig. I'd also love to erm, curate a soundtrack – sounds like the best job in the world; a mixtape with pictures.

otherwise quite tickled to find this track in a bargain bin, an Issac Hayes production...…

Not bad for a 17 year-old, especially given that just being on that soundtrack gets every artist halfway to a hit.

True enough. Arcade Fire isn’t going to be the next One Direction, but it did them no harm having the pretty good ‘Abraham’s Daughter’ playing over the end credits…

Danielle

Fri, 03 Oct 2014 14:40:39 +1300

Some of us Belle & Sebastian fans would have been pretty stoked about Caribou too, just quietly.

How do you “curate” a soundtrack, as opposed to putting together an album of as much music from the film as you can afford to get sub-rights for?
