I’ve become a fan of Gotye over the last year or so. His music is pretty good, but for me, it’s all about the animations; various styles, all quality stuff. From the album Making Mirrors.

My son would agree that jazz is a destructive force and here is the film to prove it.
Neurologists claim that stuck songs are like thoughts we’re trying to suppress. The harder we try not to think about them, the more we can’t help it. The phenomenon is also known as earworms, and the ongoing ‘dim di da da dum’ causes a kind of brain itch you can’t scratch.
Jazz that nobody asked for is an ode to all those unwanted songs out there, that have nowhere to go. The music that haunts this film, is the amazing swing jazz tune ‘Quaker City Jazz’ by the long forgotten ‘Jan Savitt and his Top Hatters’. In 1937 they were the first jazz big band to feature an african american vocalist.

This is a Sally Cruikshank cult classic and one I first saw many moons ago. Made in 1975, the pop-psychedelia style fits the time quite well.
