Nelson Mandela - 1961 Interview

In this 1961 clip Brian Widlake interviews the 42 year old lawyer Nelson Mandela, who was living in the underground at the time and organizing the resistance to the apartheid regime.

Apparently this is the first ever TV interview that Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela ever gave.

It also features in the 2013 Film about Mandela´s life Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

NEVERSLEEP - THE END OF THE WORLD II

NEVERSLEEP, the urban-electro-pop duo based in Berlin, recently released their album In Ten City.

"The End Of The World II" is the first single from the record. The music video that was published along with the song was constructed with original footage from the 8mm Black and White era and was edited down to suit the beat-driven track.

In a way the narrative of the video is loosely based on the story of Frankenstein and his monster but in this case a crazy german professor obsesses over the creation of a robot.

Lorde - Royals

Lorde, a teenager from Auckland, New Zealand is about to mix things up in a big way. With fresh yet contemplative lyrics Ella Yelich-O´Connor (her real name) manages to hit a spot  that is uncomfortable but familiar.

this is what she adds to the video:

"lately i've been waking up at 4 or 5 a.m., turning things over in my head. so much to think about, so much to break down and process and decide. i'm only at the beginning, but it has always been important to me that everything feels cool, feels right. this song means a hell of a lot to me, and to others, and i guess what i tried to do is make something you could understand. a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop. that's why this had to be real. and i'm at that particular train station every week. those boys are my friends. callum's wearing a sweater that used to belong to me. so it all feels right, and i can sleep. thanks for being with me all the way so far -- so much to come, such great heights. i'm just getting started. enjoy xx"

here is a remix of another great Lorde song with a free download link.
