American soundtrack

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Two American-centric videos, one song: Vagabond, the final track on the debut album by Wolfmother. Ironically, it’s an Australian band, but the song fits the mood in both cases.

First up, from the film (500) days of summer. Yes, that’s Zooey, and yes, that’s also the bloke from Inception who isn’t Leonardo.

Second up is a dream of a video: “Chasing Landscapes”, a stitched-together roadtrip of over 22,000 still photographs. It’s the kind of video that makes me want to pack it all in, go to the US, learn to drive and just … drive.

The same song is played over the first half; more information on the video. Watch full screen with the sound way up; the music change halfway through seems to work as well.


Thanks to Pete Ashton for finding the latter.
