A full feature film has been developed based on the concept but this trailer is for a short-film version. Keep an eye out for news of limited international screenings over the months ahead…

Daniel Johns & Josh Wakely at TEDxSydney
As previously reported, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns is collaborating with filmmaker Josh Wakely on a musical feature My Mind’s Own Melody. Here they are talking about it at TED Talks Sydney (aka TEDxSydney):
TEDxSydney featured a selection of Australia’s leading visionaries and storytellers showcasing their Ideas Worth Spreading LIVE … as well as online to the world at large. TED is a not-for-profit enterprise devoted to the propagation of Ideas Worth Spreading. TED started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment & Design.

Silverchair/Daniel Johns short film + free music from Owen Pallett
Two unrelated music new tidbits…
First off, Daniel Johns (frontman for Aussie rock trio Silverchair) will be part of a short film that received a grant under the 2010 Screen NSW Emerging Filmmakers Fund. Josh Wakely, an experienced actor and writer and an emerging director, will have the opportunity to make My Mind’s Own Melody, a short musical drama he has written with Daniel Johns. http://www.chairpage.com/news
Second, Owen Pallett just put out a free demo EP on soundcloud. It’s instrumental except for a spot vocal appearance from Shara Worden (aka My Brightest Diamond). It is delightful. Get it while it’s still a free download. For other great Shara Worden guests spots… well, the Clogs record (with Sufjan Stevens guest spots, too) and Sarah Kirkland Snider‘s Penelope concept album rank high this year.
Yeah, my “Best Of” lists are still in the works. It’s still 2010; so I’m not late. (I hate it how some people start putting out their lists in October… argh…)
