Somebody That [You] Used To Know

Sapuri — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:33:24 +0000

I think Gotye’s song- Somebody That I Used To Know must have been the most remixed song on the planet this year. I thought it was nice, but then I saw that DJ Tiesto’s shit remix of it- was floating right near the top of Beatport’s charts. Seeing that no one else saw this as a travesty- I felt it my duty to jump into the remix pool and edit it according to taste.

Nindya Re – a slightly alternative edit

Dear Rohail Hyatt, Coke Studio, Frequency Media and Kaavish,

I’m not out to cheat you out of anything. I just loved the song. It was a troubling time, and the song spoke to me. I took it into my computer, edited it- and that too, just a little bit. Please don’t serve me this time.

Thanks,
K

Just a disclaimer- this doesn’t mean I’m any less optimistic about the future. i.e. Being a Pakistani will come to mean even finer things in time. Keep your faith, people. And those who make good money by writing article after article about our issues-

Fuck the fuck off. Really.

Sander Kleinenberg in Lahore, Pakistan

FCCM Pakistan pulled the Ministry of Sound and Sander Kleinenberg into Lahore. There's a lot more footage coming, but I thought this moment dancing on stage behind him was just epic.

Some pictures I took that night: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100710299416105.2764001.3418104&type=1&l=6bde391bc7

Derezzed at the Pakistan India border

Derezzed: At the Pakistan India Border from Khurram Siddiqi on Vimeo.

If you’ve ever been to the Wahga border that is just outside Lahore in Pakistan, you’ve seen quite a show. There’s a very famous ceremony that takes place EVERY day, where the Pakistani border guards ‘face off’ with the Indian border guards in a show of force, that is pretty choreographed in my opinion. As you can see from the video- there are tons of people who come out to ‘see’ the whole event. It’s seriously a form of entertainment in both parts of the Punjab it seems.

The thing is- there’s all this hoopla over what is pulling 2 flags down and closing 2 metal gates. But that’s the show and tell- these border guards serve tough duties for both countries.

Regardless, I love the energy of the crowds, the flags being waved, and of course- Pakistan.

I went to Wahga with some friends last year, and shot lots of pictures for this stop motion video. All of it is stop motion- only some minor color filters applied here and there.
