WATCHING 'STEREO' BY PAVEMENT
We're keen for folks to understand that Domino look after some of the most influential bands in music from over the last 30 odd years and none more so than Pavement who wowed audiences in Brixton all week. When you talk about identifying 'indie music' - proper, honest early 90s 'indie', Pavement served as one of the most popular and influential lo-fi rock bands of the 1990s. It's tricky stuff trying to decide which video to pop on here - options paralysis has set in dear reader. So heck if you enjoyed 'Stereo'directed by Jon Kelsey and wanna be 'in with the kids', knock yourselves out on the Domino Youtube channel for a good old whoop or two along to Pavement's music videos here including 'Shady Lane' directed by Spike Jonze. Pavement insist on no new material so if you're hungry for more you might also enjoy releases from Pavement's own Spiral Stairs and Stephen Malkmus both continuing their own projects with Domino.
Matador look after Pavement in the USA.
ROSE IN LONDON - THE LOVESTREET
We have been delighted at the number of new films being made within the fashion industry by creative directors brave enough to use some of the most cutting edge music. Not only is it about people wearing nice clothes but the films are becoming hugely visually pleasing like Metamorphosis by The North Circular.
I've finally got round to grabbing the embed code for this film that I want to share with you. It was a product of the fantastic, new, hugely relevant course being offered by the London College of Fashion - MA Fashion Media Production, which this month enjoyed its first class graduation with all students passing including three with distinction. Whilst it may seem unfair to single out one student from an entire year - recent MA_12 graduate Saskia Reis had her music request from Domino rejected last year but we kept in touch. And we're so happy she's still talking to us as we are now able to look upon her film output like a proud parent. This film, entirely created by her, is one of several in her pioneering street-style blog THE LOVESTREET that proves that fashion - on the street anyways - can still have soul.
We look forward to the output of MA_13 and congratulations to LCF for taking the brave step in creating this course and good luck to all the students participating. If you want to find out more about Saskia, LCF or have a chat about this - email me.

WATCHING 'ANDREW IN DRAG' BY THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
The Magnetic Fields’ new single ‘Andrew In Drag’ will be released by Domino on 27th February 2012. The video, shot on the new RED Epix-XCamera, was created by New York-based Valins & Co. for the catchy first single from new album ‘Love At The Bottom Of The Sea’ (out 5th March 2012 in Domino Records). The film which YouTube have gone to the trouble of putting an age limit on is available to view HERE.
