A Killer Tire

I don't even know where to begin with this one because it is so well known and unknown at the same time and there are things to talk about on multiple levels so I'm going to keep it brief and cut to the specifics I want to show.  Mr. Oizo, one of my favorite DJs/producers/film makers/wierdos is has a new movie called Rubber about a tire that comes to life and goes on a rampage.  It was shown at the Cannes International Film Festival not too long ago and is being shown in Montreal very soon and will hopefully be released within the year. I have always loved everything Oizo makes because his musical and cinematic style is so unique and unconventional. There are very few people out there as odd as him but he knows how to make odd things work.

As with any movie, there needs to be a soundtrack.  Who better to make the soundtrack for Rubber than Oizo himself?  I agree.  He has also enlisted the help of fellow Ed Banger label-mate and one half of Justice, Gaspard Auge.  This brings me to the point of this post.  Not only am I extremely excited for this film but for the soundtrack as well.  I can't imagine how mind bending both products are going to be. To give you some idea and to bring you up to speed I have included a zany teaser for the film and soundtrack as well as a sampler of some of the music here.  If you have never experienced anything by Mr. Oizo don't be discouraged.  It can take time to appreciate the art behind his noise.  I have been following the progress of the film and I will update accordingly with release dates.  Get excited people!
