You all probably know about Angus and Julia Stone, but there's another really good Australian folk band around called Boy & Bear. After having heard their second full-lenght album Moonfire we are happy as two drunk drifters in a staircase, because this is good!
Thanks Kulturbloggen for filling in our almost non existent knowledge gaps! ;)
It's been a while since we heard something from Mazzy Star's dreamy landscapes, but yesterday we found out that Hope and David have been back in the studio, and the result is stunning. Check it out!
I watched this film the other day called The Winter of The Beard, it's a documentary on a group of men across the USA that decides to grow a beard for six months, no shaving, no trimming, no nothing. They each got a camera and had to talk about their lives an the beard-growing experience for an hour every week. It resulted in more than 600 hours of footage cropped down to a two hour film.
I was actually really moved by this film, the beardgrowing-project got to be almost like an excuse for theese men to talk about their inner feelings, memories, fears and aspirations. Here's the trailer:
Jefferson Pitcher, one of the filmmakers (who also grows a beard in the film) is also a musician, I kinda like him. Here's an album he made with Christan Kiefer (who actually also is a part of the film) that I've been listening to for a couple of days: Christian Kiefer – To All Dead Sailors
