Ata Kak - Daa Nyinaa

This very special video and slice of Ghanaian High Life just dropped into our inbox and I think this comment left by BadBart2217 sums it up perfectly!

BadBart2217 - I kicked the chair out from under me and the top of the chair hit the mouse which somehow ended up on this page with this song and this video. Because of this video I not only discovered the will to live, but I was also able to dance out of the noose! FUCK, THIS SONG BROUGHT MY NANA BACK TO LIFE AND THEN SHE WENT BACK IN TIME AND GAVE MY DAD A BLOW JOB AT THE DRIVE INS!

The Peddler

Check out this trailer for this beautiful film about film about film making. It chronicles the life of a self taught Argentinean film maker who wanders the rural villages making films. He doesn't ask for payment he just asks for food and lodgings and uses the inhabitants of the town to create the senerio and the film.

David Byrne Vs Imelda Marcos

When we first heard about this project we thought it was some sort of joke but the more we read and the more we listened the more we liked! Here Lies love is a concept album by the incredible David Byrne and prolific producer Fatboy Slim that charts the life of the famous shoe fanatic and dictator's wife Imelda Marcos. The Album also features a wide range of other artists from Santigold to Cyndi Lauper.

Katsu Vs Picasso

We saw this and thought it was a fun little piece, but after looking through the comments it seamed to really create and polo-rise some heated responses.

You're so bad at this!

We first watched this just after April Fools Day, and laughed and laughed. Went to bed, and the next day it was nowhere to be found (see the comments for this video here). Was it taken down because it was laughing at dangerous behavior, or was it down to copyright issues. You decide.

White Caps


















Last Night Weekend Autopsy went to the Bristol Old Vic to see one of the sold out series of performances by the Dance company Champloo. White Caps is an epic piece of B-Boy inspired contemporary dance that fuses multimedia and performance to great effect. The opening sequence utilizes a stage size screen and some fantastic high speed photography creating a powerful, almost naturalistic three dimentional feel. This screen continues to encase the dancers on stage performances whilst allowing the audience to be transported back and forth from the stage to wonderful series on location performances thought the UK. White Caps is a fantastic marriage of B-Boy aesthetic, contemporary dance and cinematic polish, that manages to move and excite.
