join me in anticipating musics by FEVER RAY (aka one half of the knife)

really diggin that mixtape. wish there was a download link or I was smart enough to know how to :`(

umm this is going to be awesome http://www.factmag.com/2010/11/02/premiere-set-for-hour-of-the-wolf-with-music-by-fever-ray/

I was pretty surprised to hear tunes by Fever Ray used in this movie, which is a compilation of Swedish short movies made with the intent of producing feminist porn (thought some of them aren't really porn).... I wouldn't really associate FR with erotic titillation, so the juxtaposition of them and the film material felt kinda odd. Looks like Karin Dreijer supported the project though, since FR tunes were heard in several of the shorts, and they were mostly unreleased instrumentals and remixes, not the album versions.

It was also a pretty weird experience to watch actual porn in a cinema with strangers, even though I went there with a female friend, and the feminist theme kinda made it more socially acceptable.

if I visit that page, which I am about to do, it won't be with Fever Ray in mind, just sayin'

feminism?

porntastic preview! anyway, fever ray make extremely sexy music, so the collaboration doesn't surprise me.

LESBIAN =/= FEMINIST

tbh I've been looking for ages for porn that isn't in the crass phallocentric cumshot mould, AND has a sense of artistic visual or thematic narrative - amateur stuff sometimes but all too rarely fits the bill

in 2011, I pledge you, the public, more ILTMI/ILM crossover posts than you ever thought possible

Oh ok I just noticed there's also heterosexual porn involved. Don't mind me. Still don't understand what makes it 'feminist' porn but I guess I have to see more than the trailer to catch on.

feminist porn = porn made by feminists, iirc

feminist = not like Brazzers

that manifesto is GREAT btw - the ppl gonna reclaim the 'porn' ('pornography' is a terrible and oppressive term anyway)

manifesto is cool, but my eyes get all rolly when people selling something to me talk a "smash capitalism" line. and a lot of the stuff they're talking about applies to men as well as women. but in general, yeah.

More entertaining than Innocent Picture's Puzzy Power manifesto (1998), which Lars Von Trier had some involvement in. Candida Royalle seems to be falling behind in the manifesto races...

The whole movie was produced by asking people to make short films of "feminist porn", though apparently different people had widely different ideas what that means - some of the shorts are more like sex-themed art movies than anything you would call "porn". And at least two of them (might've been more, I saw the movie a year ago, so my memory isn't really clear) have no sex at all, though they did feature some fetishistic activities. My favourite of the shorts was actually one of those, a semi-documentary about a female flasher.

new track from red riding hood soundtrack is pretty great - http://soundcloud.com/andrewdiego/04-the-wolf

i also found this!!!!

"So far the Fever Ray contribution has been slated as only a song, but there have been rumblings, from Hardwicke herself, that Andersson will make a cameo in the film as her Fever Ray persona. She will appear amongst the wreckage of the wolf effigy, with all the villagers dancing and chanting alongside her as she herself, clad in a harvest-style costume, performs her song. Hardwicke seems to be much inspired by Andersson’s style and music, using it to capture the suspenseful distortion of the tale as well as potentially inspire the highly stylized and striking costuming. The scene with Seyfried amidst the flaming wood pieces has her masked in a simplistic yet creepy and startling wolf mask. It seems part Venetian mask inspired but also a nod to Andersson’s quirky and dynamic style on stage."

How does that director keep getting so many artists tha seem reluctant to be featured on pubescent blockbusters on board with him?

probably by being a woman

is she hot?

you tell me

Yeah I don't think her being a woman has anything to do with it. My question remains.

a lot of artists might be reluctant to be featured on pubescent blockbusters but id guess theyre a lot less reluctant about a shitload of money off of those movies

Exposure to millions of teenage goths will probably help sales of Fever Ray records as well.

haha yeah god forbid pubescents listen to fever ray, what could they possibly find of value in gothy persona-driven synth pop

particularly pubescents interested in gothy wolfman movies

really cool song.. almost makes me think the scene could be a good one

oh shit the opening alone is wau

turns out the cameo rumor is untrue:

http://feverray.com/2010/11/18/new-fever-ray-music-to-feature-in-upcoming-film-red-riding-hood/

*To clarify some incorrect information that has been circulating on the web: there won’t in fact be a cameo performance from Karin Dreijer Andersson / Fever Ray in the film, and Karin co-wrote the song with her Fever Ray band members - Christoffer Berg, Van Rivers, The Subliminal Kid & Liliana Zavala - with no involvement from any other party.

it'd be fucking awesome if fever ray became some sort of goth teenage girl pin-up

im sure she already is on some small scale!

anyway as bummed as i am that shes not going to be in the red riding hood movie i think its clear that someone needs to cast her as the witch queen in a wicker man-style pagan horror flick set somewhere in rural sweden

wasn't that one of her videos?

im sure she already is on some small scale!

yeah i meant on a large scale! fever ray for twilight cameo! no scratch that TWILIGHT LOVE INTEREST

yes, but i want a feature film

SO: Unlike Twilight, whose fans were very invested in the original source material, it seems you have more room for creative interpretation for a story like Red Riding Hood. What are some examples of your own personal interpretation as director?

CH: For the celebration scene, I was inspired by my experiences at Burning Man – which has its roots in medieval, pagan rituals. Our Music Supervisor Brian Reitzall (Lost in Translation, Virgin Suicides) hired Swedish band Fever Ray to create a song, then choreographer Sarah Elgart created a dance that felt ancient, but very sexy. We basically created a medieval RAVE!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON

I was inspired by my experiences at Burning Man

NOPE

oh i'm sorry did you think the gothy red riding hood movie was going to be good

well... no, but it wasn't Twilight and Amanda Seyfried > Kristen Stewart so I was considering seeing it

right now the self-evidently terrible movie I am dying to see is SUCKER PUNCH

i have to admit i am suckerpunch-curious myself

tbh I don't know when Carla Gugnino replace Milla Jovovich as "marginal actress whose every movie I will someday see" but there you go

also it has a Real World alum in the cast (Jamie Chung from RW:San Diego)

i have to admit i am suckerpunch-curious myself

i expect this from perry but you... you sicken me

what, there's a big samurai robot or something

hot girls beating up comic book shit, what a terrible premise for a movie

(yes, I know it is actually terrible, but it is also something I will avidly watch; signed, the dude who saw "Catwoman" and "Ultraviolet" in the theater)

This party scene is even worse than the one in the Mateix

although dance floor lez up scene is hilar

"keep the streets empty for me" is still astonishingly great especially when it's snowing

Yeah, Fever Ray is more or less winter music. I hope there'll be a follow-up to the debut some day, I never cared about The Knife (as good as they are) quite as much as I care about FR.

Nice one! My (betterc articulated) thoughts exactly
