Swans - Seering The Tube (DVD)

And the DCR team pays homage to the Swans. 120 minutes long.

As with the DCD DVDs this is made from 1080p HD videos (and one 720p, but you'll probably won't even notice wich one) taken from YouTube. It took me a lot of time browsing and downloading videos, but I think that in the end, this collection not only looks very good but ilustrates quite well what the Swans are live in 2011/2012, so it's a must have if you like the band. I by any chance you're not familiar with the band, then you have to definitively see this! Check the thumbs if you're in doubt about quality of image.

Again, my personal thanks to Š†©kmªÑ for agreeing to author another DVD and making my concept a reality.

And most of all to the filmers/YouTube users that made all the really hard work filming and sharing the videos. To them, our respectful THANK YOU.

Swans are on tour right now, so don't miss them when they play near you. (they are playing in Portugal tomorrow and to my deepest regret, I can't go see them because of work schedule...) ansd buy their new record The Seer, wich is nothing short of fabulous.

The Joy of Disco (Documentary, 2012)

When I asked what bands you wanted to have a dedicated week of postings, somebody said Village People, unfortunately he was the only one, so the People didn't win, but I promised to post something from them, here's a bit of history then ;)

When I was a teen, I hated disco, it was the music your parents listened to, so you runned away from it as if it was the devil. But I do love BBC documentaries, and this one is as excellent as any of the others posted on the blog. It really is not important if you like the music or not, the way this documentary is made, will make join the next time travel to the 70's (and while you're there, try to catch the first Pistols gig before entering the disco).

Thanks to jabulon for sharing this DVD.

The Joy of Disco

Documentary about how a much-derided music actually changed the world. Between 1969 and 1979 disco soundtracked gay liberation, foregrounded female desire in the age of feminism and led to the birth of modern club culture as we know it today, before taking the world by storm. With contributions from Nile Rogers, Robin Gibb, Kathy Sledge, Randy Jones, Giorgio Moroder and Ian Schrager.

DEAD CAN DANCE - ANASTASIS TOUR 2012 - NORTH AMERICA (DVD)

So, we move to the other side of the ocean for another DVD of this collection, everytime we think it's the last one, another seems to pop up in front of us, and since all 4 DVDs we made until now are all in the top 10 list of posts, the interest from you seems to continue.

This footage is fgilmed from really close to stage, so it's mostly centered on Brendan and Lisa.

The same THANK YOU to Š†©kmªÑ for helping me with the authoring of the DVDs.

Of course these DVDs wouldn't exist if not for the filmer, who did all the hard work, filming, editing and then sharing them onYouTube, so all credit should be given to her(him?) with the respectful THANK YOU.

ALL VIDEOS FILMED BY miss housegirl, you can also leave your comments there and/or ask for the original files or arrange a trade.
