Seems like I’ve become more and more fascinated by NSFW material (I’m not even what would one call a porn aficionado), it just seems these kind of videos manage to resuscitate the viewer and transform an insipid band in studio video recording into an exiting, engaging and wild film. Sex can do that. I know little to nothing about the Barcelona one man band El Guincho, but the video for his latest single Bombay off…
Yet another video from Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, this time for “Bluish”, and as one might except it’s got copious amounts of blue. Yeah, blue bubbles, blue smoke, blue cosmos, blue dancing exotic dancers and, of course, big blue eyes. You can check out the video below for the YouTube stream or directly at the Animal Collective homepage for some nice, crisp HD quality.
Boy I’ve gotta tell you, Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me. What is she up to this time ? Quite a good cause if you ask me: she’s sending a message out to people, speaking against the US Senate policy commonly known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell”; basically, this doesn’t allow gay, lesbian, or even bisexual people to serve in the military. Which is just absurd, as Gaga points out: [caption id=”attachment_6623″ align=”alignleft” width=”500″…
I can’t believe how self-degrading this band has become over the years. If I wasn’t completely convinced that Weezer is just surfing the huge geek trend and trying to cut some cash by releasing crap material year after year, last night shattered any doubt. It’s enough to see Rivers Cuomo dance around like a socially awkward middle aged man on Jay Leno’s Late Night stage to realize it’s ALL OVER. Some of you nostalgic, naive…
A sensual atmosphere, seductive synths and whispering vocals filled with passion are just a few of the ever present elements that can be found in this new sensational band’s music I recently came across called Raw Moans. The band has an upcoming double five track EP (CD + remixes) set for release on September 22 titled “we want it beautiful NOT REAL”, and if you’re looking for a small glimpse of what this California outfit…
I’ll admit that I’m not sure what the current popular opinion of Kings of Leon truly is: are they still liked? Or did everyone eventually turn on them after being unable to escape the dual radio assault of “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody” for the last four million years? Perhaps I’d be more aware if I weren’t a shut-in who spent much of the last year listening to Bing Crosby. Damn my old soul….
Baltimore’s Neil Sanzgiri is Soft Cat, a talented folk singer/songwriter that equally caught my ears and eyes with this beautifully water color video for “It Won’t Be Long”, animated by Miranda Pfeiffer,. The song is off Neil’s upcoming new album titled “Wildspace”, which is set for a fall release on Friends Records. Check out a letter from Neil, after the jump.[via Yours Truly]
“Tres Brujas”, The Sword’s first video as part of their self-described “Post-Apocalyptic Western Trilogy” premiered earlier today and is very much everything one could have expected – blood, gadgets, samurai swords and hard rocking spacy jams in ….ermmm space! Check out the video below. Warp Riders, the new The Sword record, is out this week via Kemado Records. You can download the song here.
Here’s to starting off the week with a big smile and on dancing steps with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists’ latest brillinat video for “Bottled in Cork”. The video premiered today on funnyordie.com and in it the band gets convinced by Reginald VanVoorst, played by the hilarious Paul F. Tompkins, to stage their new album “The Brutalist Bricks” as a Broadway musical. Of course, what follows is a slew of intensive rehersals before the musical is performed…
Grinderman, Grinderman, does whatever a grinder can Laser beams from their eyes The Bad Seeds in disguise Look out! Here comes the Grinderman! A new song? Listen guy: It’s a tune called “Heathen Child” And so to boost my indie cred The video, I shall embed Hey there! There goes the Grinderman! Anyway. While perusing Pitchfork’s slender form for the Lanegan video below, I chanced upon this video for “Heathen Child”, from Grinderman’s upcoming sophomore…
