Carpark North
I can count on CJ to expose me to great bands that I would never hear of otherwise. He asked me, “How do you buy music that you can’t find on Amazon?” My first though was gemm or musicstack, but they have somewhat failed in the search for Carpark North cds. There are websites you can buy their cds at, but the websites are in anti-English. So. Danish people, feel free to aid us.
CJ told me that I had to watch Carpark North’s video for “Best Day”. It is an awesome video, but I actually liked the one for “Human” more (the one screencapped in this entry, which you can download in .mov format at duckling.dk). My first reaction was “hm…cool…” but I like the videos much more after watching them a couple of times. Or more than a couple by this point. See more videos directed by Martin de Thurah at antville.org.
Actually, I can kind of describe why I like the videos (beware of forthcoming ineloquence…ness!). Frenetic and peaceful; that’s the impression I get. Floating or lying down while spazzing out at the same time. Kind of like that scene in Garden State when Zach Braff is sitting in the couch staring at nothing while everything goes around him at 1000 mph (uh oh, I just referenced Garden State…is that a bad thing?). Diana mentioned surrealism, which is an apt description.
Oh, and the music is good! Hopefully I’ll figure out a way to buy it online without accidentally adding 400 of them to my Danish shopping cart.

hahahah. Oh man. Don’t feel bad about referencing Garden State, I do it all the time (I am soooo lying).

Sweet bejasus, in the video for “Human” is nearly everything I find beautiful.

Found this site by coinsidence searching for Mew on Google. Great little site focusing on some of the best music out there, including Danish 🙂
Yes, that’s right, I’m Danish 🙂 I’ve been searching some sites here to find out if you could buy Carpark North, which btw. have made 2 awesome albums. I’m in love with the latest these days. I haven’t found any site in English yet, but I’ll continue to try 🙂
If you feel lucky… there’s http://www.imusic.dk, or better yet these direct links:

http://www.imusic.dk/item/0724358238129/carpark-north-2003-carpark-north-cd
But I think it will be very difficult for you to order it, since it’s all in Danish, and I don’t know if they ship internationally…
