Copenhagen Film Festival

Copenhagen Film Festival coming up.

I would like to see Julian Schnabels Cannes winner, but have decided to go for the movies that aren't in danish distribution, and save Le scaphandre et le papillon (The diving bell and the butterfly) for later this autumn. So far I have decided for the french Prête-moi ta main (I do: How to get married and stay single) starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Alain Chabat. Both performed in Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep.

Any suggestions what else to watch?

Album releases

...this autumn, that I probably can't live without.

Animal Collective Strawberry Jam. I only recently got into them, now I'm hooked on this truly strange and playful music.

Band of Horses Cease to begin. The former album was one of my favourites last year.

Beirut The flying club cub. Apparantly it's quite different to the balkan sound on the former album Gulag Orkestar. This one is inspired by Jacques Brel and the french chancons.

Efterklang Parades. Dreamy and beautiful nordic sounds.

Iron & Wine Sheperd's dog. I absolutely love the new track Boy with a coin.

PJ Harvey White chalk. The coolest woman in rawk. She played some of the new material at her latest performance in Copenhagen, and it left me craving for more.

Sigur Ros Hvarf/Heim. A favourite band of mine since their release of Ægætis byrjun in 2000. Always a pleasure to listen to this great icelandic band.
