BTC: Birdy Nam Nam
Bonjour, mes petits concombres!
If you’ve already experienced Will Sweeney and Steve Scott‘s animated psychedelic 2009 music video for Birdy Nam Nam‘s tune “The Parachute Ending”, look away. Or, hey, don’t. Because you know it’s trippin’ AMAZEBALLS and you probably won’t mind watching it again over a nice morning bowl of strawberries ‘n’ Special K.
Most Birdy Nam Nam-related things tend to be –in this blogger’s humble opinion– pretty thoroughly amazeballs. The BNN DJ crew is comprised of four fabulous Frenchmen known as Crazy-B, DJ Need, DJ Pone, and Little Mike. They joined forces in 2006 and has been steadily gaining notoriety ever since thanks largely to their novel and challenging style of music-making: they take thousands of samples gleaned from various sources, press all of the beats and patterns into towering stacks of vinyl, and then assemble/spin these kaleidoscopic collaged elements live. It’s bleepy bloopy bonkers brilliance.
Enjoy, and have a gorgeous day.

This video is like if someone took a Clifford D. Simak story, compressed it heavily, animated it, and set it ultra-bloops.

No love for the commentator who pointed this music video out? You wound me, Meredith!
Anyway, check out Goin’ In too. It’s a different animation style but is still a psychedelic window into whatever strange paradise of beats the BNN crew hails from.

(Bonus round: watch the animation short Vaesen with its sound turned off and BNN’s War Paint on repeat

Aw, sorry, Maps. No wound intended. I do remember your comment, but I’d been meaning to post some BNN lurve for ages and ages. I’ll happily add a hat tip, though, if you like!

No actual feelings were wounded, but I would be tickled pink if you added a hat tip, Meredith!

I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m waiting for my late dinner to be ready -light headed – or the ultra bloopiness of this clip but that blew my mind… Cool!
