WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: patrick watson - into giants

patrick watson - into giants
[matching the joyous audio experience of patrick's brilliant song, video artist/longtime collaborator brigitte henry offers up a clip that goes from webcam to vaudeville (avec choreography!) to a supposed live gig all via three brilliant chapters. i heart this song so darn much and so should you!]

WONGIE GORGEOUS SONG OF THE WEEK: patrick watson - into giants

patrick watson - into giants
[after spending 5 years supporting 2 wonderful albums, patrick and co decided to go back to their montreal home and record an album of music they would want to listen to at home. their latest collection 'adventures in your own backyard' is exactly that soundtrack. and what a wonderful dreamy track they've offered as a taster! if you love it as much as we do, go and download the track now cause patrick are offering it as a free mp3 on his website!]

that schweppes burst song: cinematic orchestra feat patrick watson - to build a home

what a delight to see an original commercial for a soft drink. haunting and whimsical at the same time, this is just plain amazing work!

now, believe it or not, every burst in this beautiful ad was shot simultaneously with the people around them. as the director garth davis explains, nothing is a composite.


cinematic orchestra feat patrick watson - to build a home [link 2]
[so imagine my delight when i found out the gorgeous song accompanying the commercial belonged to the chill out posse cinematic orchestra with a little help from montreal's patrick watson (who in my book has one of the best male voices around). taken from their somewhat overlooked release from last year, ma fleur, i'm glad a superb ad like this can reignite my interest in this lovely album.]
