Ollie Falls Asleep

Every once in a while a song comes along and pulls your mind into wistful corners of the universe on a single melody. Berlinist’s “Ollie Falls Asleep” is a viable track for doing just that, erecting emotions of a mere dream sequence. Setting a dreamlike ambiance, Berlinist brushes over weepy keys, resonating with a Bonobo beat and echoing Devotchka’s How it Ends. Their delivery of competitive tunes and soft lyrics has them marking solid territory among the Euro-indie scene.

Barcelona-based Berlinist hail the boutique band scene with a their international membership including violinist Natalia Bednarczyk (Poland), violinist Caterina Martí (Barcelona), accordionist, guitarist + vocalist Gemma Gamarra (Barcelona), percussionist/drummer Alfredo Bella (Santiago de Chile), vocalist/keyboardist + bassist Luigi Gervasi (Italy), and lead vocalist/keyboardist Marco Alba (Italy). “Regarding the name, we find that Barcelona and Berlin are somehow similar in many ways. We all like the city for its atmosphere and attitude. Our music is like a breath (in a state of uncertainty) and the instruments we play are genuine, analogical.” – Marco Alba

As the group touts their contemporary sounds funneled through a village-like quaintness with accents of an occasional violin, accordion, or xylophone, this fresh off the venue six-tet continues to search for instruments to complete their sound as they pitch their role as musicians in society: “We think music plays a very important role in the relationships between people regardless of their moods or state of mind. It has always been there and we want to make it a pleasant experience.”

When asked about some of the key messages they aim to reflect in their music, Marco responded, “Reproduce natural sensations. We’d like to know that once our songs are heard, people will not remain the same – that our sounds will stay somewhere in their hearts and souls. Lyrics are simple and straight, they make the songs more complex and complement our music. Words try to reflect what music proves to communicate.”

With a range of inspirations from Beruit to Sigur Rós and Phillip Glass to Pearl Jam, the troupe plans to infiltrate music circles around the world, hoping to further break ground with an album release in coming months. Until then, keep up with their play dates and music updates on their fan page. Or if you are Spain-side don’t miss El Nostre Racó, the band’s starting point and frequent stage.

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' Soundtrack

VARIOUS ARTISTS

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1"

Producers: various

Chop Shop/Atlantic Records

Release Date: Nov. 8

Cee Lo Green's pre-"Fuck You" presence on the soundtrack to "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" last year seemed to signal an expansion of the series' indie-dominated musical brand. That opening-up continues here with tunes by hipster-rap MC Theophilus London and Green's pal Bruno Mars, who contributes the lead single, the moody pop-soul cut "It Will Rain." Not that an increased urban vibe crowds out the indie stuff: The Joy Formidable opens the set with "Endtapes," a Pixies-style fuzz-guitar jam, while elsewhere the soundtrack includes cuts by the Noisettes, Aqualung and Iron and Wine, which reprises its song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" from the original 2008 soundtrack. (The fresh rendition appends "Wedding Version" to its title, which seems to suggest where the song figures in the film.) Fans also get a new tune, "I Didn't Mean It," from the Belle Brigade, the Los Angeles brother-sister duo responsible for one of 2011's finest debuts. Let's hope it'll score some of the shine this vampire-flick franchise can still provide.

Song For The Mute Hits Right Note For Fashion Win

Song for the Mute designers Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty walked away with a prize that included $10,000 cash and a trip to attend either the Premiere Vision trade fair in Paris or Pitti Filati in Milan after impressing the judges with their autumn-winter range, titled Milieu. Inspired by Ty's late grandmother, the menswear collection fused masculine and feminine elements to create an androgynous feel featuring plenty of draping and cocoon shapes.

"All the garments have a cocoon shape and the seams twisting from the back to front," Ty said. "I wanted to capture that feeling of losing someone and needing to feel cocooned."

The duo are both just 25 but already have a strong focus on using quality fabrics, often with innovative treatments; the collection they showed yesterday comprised 80 per cent merino wool.

"We always start with the fabric," said Tanaya. "It's the process of merging pure construction and new shapes to heighten the natural qualities of the fabric."
Long-line coats and fitted wool jackets with upright collars were worn on the runway with leggings, baggy trousers or harem-style shorts, in a palette of mostly black with flashes of oatmeal and cream.

The pair's triumph over seven other finalists was all the sweeter considering their original autumn-winter collection was lost in January in Paris after a freight mix-up.

They had just four days to remake it from scratch to present it to the awards.
"We were very close to giving up because it was so very much work to get done," Tanaya said.

The MFF Designer Award judging panel included Vogue editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements, representatives from David Jones and Myer, and MFF creative director Grant Pearce.

The pair's efforts drew high praise from Mr Pearce. "I've just returned from the shows in Milan and Paris and their collection stood up completely in terms of quality and innovation," he said.

Lady gaga 's New S ong "The Edge of Glory"

"The Edge of Glory" is a song written by Lady Gaga, Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow for Born This Way. On May 5th, 2011, radio station 96.1 KISS announced that they would receive and play "The Edge of Glory" on Monday, the 9th.[1] It is the first promotional single to be released from the album as part of the iTunes Countdown for Born This Way. The song premiered on the radio one hour before the release on iTunes. Radios played a shortened version (4:20) sent by Interscope. The song was registered on BMI as simply "Edge of Glory" on May 17, 2011.

On May 11th, Gaga announced the song to be the official third single from the album after it topped download charts worldwide shortly after it's release on iTunes. The song was sent to US radios on May 17th. The song was also featured on a Google Chrome commercial featuring Lady Gaga that debuted on Saturday, May 22, 2011, during Saturday Night Live featuring Gaga. On May 24th, it was announced that Gaga would perform the song along with saxophonist, Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band, on the American Idol season finale.
The video is a one outfit, one concept, one location type-deal: just Gaga and famed E. Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons (who suffered a stroke just this past weekend) in front of an apartment building on a deserted New York street. Mother Monster took a break from the crazy theatrics and shape-shifting in this surprisingly simple video, in which she dances the night away completely solo. Glorious!
The Haus of Gaga and Joseph Khan-directed video features "fashion from the last collection of the legendary Gianni Versace," says the award-winning fashion icon. Nicola Formichetti, who hand-sewed the singer's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-honored meat dress, was the stylist for the shoot.
No sign of any Latino bad boys or couture doctors as indicated in the alleged casting notice for the video shoot. Also, "hints" about a "fishy" concept for the video made by Gaga's 'Judas' video creative and co-director Laurieann Gibson are lost on us now -- unless she was referring to Gaga's recent live Le Grand Journal performance of the hit costumed as a mermaid.

'Criminal'-The Fashion Video Hit London

When Britney Spears hit London to shoot her "Criminal" video, she caused quite a stir. The singer immediately was criticized by local officials for her use of a gun in the sexy, crime-fantasy clip. Spears addressed the issue, shrugging off the controversy, and this week, fans finally got to see what all the fuss was about when the steamy clip dropped.

 MTV News spoke to the video's director, Chris Marrs Piliero, who said he was surprised the video's gunplay became such a big deal.
"Holding the gun became a controversial thing 'cause we filmed it in London, and they don't have a lot of gun use out there," he explained. "That doesn't mean that there's no gun use, so I did find it really interesting. For me, the thing is, it blew me away that members of [the British] Parliament were speaking about this. One, because it's a music video, and two, because don't you guys have television shows out there that show crime?
"It's really strange to me," he continued, adding just what bothered him most about the controversy: "I don't understand why pop stars are put on such a high pedestal over other celebrities. Why do members of Parliament feel that they need to scrutinize her for having a gun, and 'She's in the public,' and 'She should know better,' and 'She's a role model,' but what about every other celebrity out there? What about every other actor? That's very strange to me. I was really surprised at how much the gun use was scrutinized."
Plus, Piliero said it makes sense that the couple, played by Britney and her real-life boyfriend, Jason Trawick, are using guns. "He's a professional criminal, so it makes sense he has a gun," the director said. "We shouldn't censor ourselves."

Beyonce's 'Party' Video: All Of The Crazy Fashion

Beyonce dropped another new music video today -- she's already released super-stylish videos for "Countdown" and "Love on Top" this month. Damn, girl! Slow down! This morning, Bey gave us the video for "Party (ft. J.Cole)., and while we're loving the song, we're also digging the carousel of fashion she flaunts throughout.
Shot before Bey got pregnant, the video features Beyonce chilling at a house party in a variety of chic looks. We sleuthed some of the fashion: that fabulous gray feathered top is Louis Vuitton. The "I Heart Summer" ice cream tee, already sold out, is from Wildfox.
Beyonce's red gingham shorts look to be from Dolce & Gabbana's spring 2012 collection. The leopard corset she pairs with them? Also D&G.
We're also peeping that red fanny pack -- leave it to Bey to make frumpy tourist gear look couture.
Beyonce's cover photo for Dazed & Confused magazine -- in which she wears a wildly printed Givenchy sweatshirt -- was also taken during the "Party" video shoot.
Scroll down to check out our fashion screencaps and watch the video for "Party." Do you spot any other high-fashion looks? Let us know of any credits we missed in the comments!

The new IPod video fashion

　　Technical gadgets are, firstly, devices which give a practical usage. Still, an increased concern in how these units should look and what their explicit fashion expresses shouldn’t be insignificant, either.
The design of the brand new iPod video is moderately unique and totally different from all the other fashions of the iPod sequence, which basically consists of 4 generations of this device. Firstly, the design of the brand new iPod needed to be tailored to the optimized options of the product. Secondly, the most important factor when designing this item was the truth that it needed to have a big and coloured display, to be able to provide the video function at an excessive level. Even more, even though it is a technical gadget, the iPod all the time had a style of its personal, which made the item, besides a supplier of music (pictures and now, videos), a stylish accent, which young folks most well-liked to wear. Contemplating this, the design engineers of the Apple workforce managed to pay an increased attention to all of the aesthetical features of the system and took care of all of the tiny details which truly made the iPod look great at the end.
The iPods had been discovered available on the market in numerous colours since their appearance. From the extraordinary and shiny pink iPod of the primary generation to the elegant and well-liked white, the iPod managed to keep the same type, even by means of different colors. Even more, the most well-known iPod advertisements had been always targeted on bright colors, corresponding to orange, green, intense turquoise and many shiny pink. The iPod video is discovered in the marketplace immediately in two primary colours: white and black and the selection of these colors is owed to the fact that, on one hand, the earlier iPod nano had the identical colours and it was a giant hit product since it was launched and, then again, the fact that with the new iPod video, the entrepreneurs and the promoting team wished to advertise a more serious look of this gadget, with a refined and extra elegant style. Still, the ear buds for this machine are stored in the same coloration, white, as they’ve been for the reason that first look of the iPod in the marketplace in the 12 months 2001.
The opinions that regard the side and design of the new iPod video mention the truth that some black ear buds had been expected, as properly, in other to fit higher with the elegant look of the black iPod video. Even more, relating to the colors of the new iPod video, the opinions point out the fact that, while folks expected the white iPod video to require more upkeep than the black one, the truth shows the fact that the dirt is much more visible on the black device. On the identical time, Apple affords within the massive bundle which includes the iPpod a protecting sleeve for the video device. This sleeve is colored in light gray and manages to guard the iPod and hold it clean, at the same time.
The new package of the iPod video brings many new aesthetic and stylish features: the text and the Apple brand on the box are embossed with silver, which makes the black bundle look elegant and elitist, which is precisely what the company wanted.

The first time magazine cover

Big sister Lindsay is in trouble with the law (yet again), but Ali Lohan is making some headlines of her own with her first high-fashion magazine cover.

17-year-old Ali Lohan, who now prefers to be called Aliana, appears on the cover of the Winter 2011 issue of Faultmagazine. Inside the mag, which hits newsstands in  November, Ali poses for a series of artsy black and white photographs.

Little Lohan has come under fire recently for her dramatic weight loss. Lindsay Lohan took to Twitter to defend her sister, saying, "I love how haters pick on my sister yet every runway model is just as thin! My sister is gorgeous and I’m so proud of her and her career!!!!”

Some doctors seemed to disagree with Lindsay's oh so scientific assessment of her sister's weight. “She is very underweight,” Dr. Majid Ali toldRadarOnline last month after looking at pictures of Ali. “By looking at her cheekbones you can tell she has muscle wasting going on.” The Fault cover shows Lohan's exposed collarbone, which indeed looks very thin.

There have also been rumors that Ali Lohan may have undergone various plastic surgery procedures in order to enhance her looks and further her modeling career. Bloggers have suggested that the teen model may have had a nose job, cheek injections, and Botox. Ali's modeling agency told E! News that the teen is all natural: “As a young girl who is growing up, it’s natural for her facial features to change slightly, and we see this with many of the younger models we represent. Aliana is a beautiful 17-year-old girl who is growing into her face and body, as is the norm for someone of her age.”
