Shynola are Chris, Jason and Kenny - a collective who have been directing constantly distinctive, award-winning work for over a decade. They have worked with Beck, Blur, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age and Radiohead, created commercials for Honda, Nike, Orange and Sony Playstation, and produced animation for the IT Crowd, Chris Moris and Charlie Brooker's Nathan Barley and created the titular guide for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Currently they are writing and developing their first feature film.

John Hillcoat (QLD, AU)

Ever wondered how Nick Cave would look dressed up as a Roman centurian? Well, wait no longer as John Hillcoat's gloriously camp video for Cave's band Grinderman features Romans, wolfmen and much, much more...

The video is for new track Heathen Child.

::

Acclaimed film director John Hillcoat (whose last major motion picture feature was the critically heralded 'The Road' and who is repped by Factory Films has been hard at work lately) having also directed his first video for UNKLE's 'The Answer'.

His vision begins with Ray Winstone (The Departed, Sexy Beast, Cold Mountain) relaying a memory from years past.

Cseh Tamás („Füst a szemében” dakota törzsfőnök) †

(1943. január 22., Budapest – 2009. augusztus 7., Bakonybél)
Pénteken 66 éves korában elhunyt Cseh Tamás Liszt- és Kossuth-díjas előadóművész, a Katona József színház egyik alapítója, Bakonybél díszpolgára.


Bereményi Géza, akivel 1970-től alkottak együtt így búcsúzott tőle: „Cseh Tamás távozása egy harminckilenc éves közös munka végét jelenti. Halálával elvitte magával azokat a dalszövegeket, amiket csak neki tudtam volna írni, mert ezeket ő váltotta ki belőlem személyes találkozásaink során.”


Az utolsó videóban már múlt időben beszélt magáról és az életéről is, úgy gondolta, elérkezett a számadás, a szálak elvarrásának ideje. Egy könyvet szeretett volna még írni az indiántábor ötven évéről. A felvétel végén a hatvanhat éves énekes, törzsfőnök a botját eldobva egy utolsót táncol fiával és a neki éneklő bakonyi indiánokkal.

Több mint 1400 feledhetetlen dalt, megannyi színházi és filmszerepet hagyott maga után és mérhetetlen űrt a lekünkben.
Olyan, mintha Bob Dylan vagy Leonard Cohen hagyott volna itt bennünket. Most, hogy elment lenne rá a legnagyobb szükség...
Életművéről itt.

What Crises? a kedvencünk), talán legsikeresebb lemeze, mely megkerülhetetlenné tette zenéjüket./In April, 32 years ago now Supertramp (despite the name they played intellectual Art-Rock) released their fifth (the fourth Crises?
