Tibi PuiuComplementary body painting, drugs, Asian chicks, polygons fetishes, and some gross dripping saliva which could pass for NSFW if someone just happens to see that particular scene of Interpol’s latest video for Lights. Gosh, that was weird.
Here’s some horrid stuff to start off the morning: Diamond Rings – ‘Show Me Your Stuff’
First off, I’m not really sure why I’m going ’bout posting this kind of crap, but here goes nothing. John O’Regan, known on the indie scene under his Diamond Rings moniker, is a Toronto based maxx pop artist who’s been turning some heads locally with a few 7″s and gigs, and is now prepping for his full length debut “Special Affections”, allegedly slated for a fall release. This morning, O’Regan’s video for his latest single…
[VIDEOS] Arcade Fire play their first gig in three years / summer tour dates!
This weekend, Arcade Fire played their first gig in three years at the Notman House in Montreal, Quebec, where they played 12 songs, out of which 8 were brand new off the new upcoming album. The gig was actually some sort of private showing limited to a 75 strong crowd – an interesting warm-up for the band’s upcoming summer tour. Below you can check out a few videos shot by the people behind the Pop…
It’s Chico Time
Al Byrne
Is that Eddie Izzard fronting a rock band? It is not. It is this thing: Chico Fellini, who are some manner of rock n’ roll beat combo. And here is what I’m telling you about them: they are releasing a double A-side single on the first of every month, featuring a Fellini original, and a cover song chosen by a magic swan (I think/hope/imagine). They have dubbed this endeavour “The Singles Series”. Quite cleverly too,…
[VIDEO] Nada Surf – ‘Electrocution’
Nada Surf’s sixth studio album, “If I Had A Hi-Fi”, which is actually a cover album, will be out in less than two weeks. If your bristling with anticipation for the this latest effort from one of the few bands that can be annoyingly boring, yet strangely awesome at the same time, you’re more than invite to appetize on this recently released video for “Electrocution”, the cover of Bill Fox’s 1998 single.
Scissor Sisters: Positively Flaming
Kids: a helpful tip. Despite what the cool kids at your school, or your drunken, vigilante-justice-espousing father might have you believe, fighting fire with fire is rarely an advisable tactic. In actuality, what’s likely to happen is the fire you’re wielding so triumphantly will team up with the existing fire to betray, and you’ll end up just fighting fire. With your bare hands. Better to take your cue from those handsome fire engines you admire…
[VIDEO] Tame Impala – ‘Solitude is Bliss’
This year’s psychedelic sensation, the Australian three piece psych-pop band Tame Impala, have apparently rose from virtually nowhere, impressing everybody with their druggie beats, busy drums, stoner riffs – a totally narcotic atmosphere, basically. The 2010 MGMT, if you will. I had no idea this band existed until a few weeks ago when I first started reading about them on blogs, but since then I’ve ferociously digested every leak and stream I could find on…
Ex-Exile Excerpt Excavated – “River” Rejiggered by Jagger and Richards
It’s always slightly disappointing writing a news item about The Rolling Stones. It’s not their fault – not really. It’s just, y’know, nothing can ever top Keith Richards falling out of a coconut tree. It happened four years ago last month, and still, nothing will ever be quite as hilarious or memorable or interesting as that ever again. HE FELL OUT OF A COCONUT TREE. Here is a joke you could have made if Richards…
Drive-By Shooting: “This Fucking Job” Video
Man. That headline pun is so good, it’s like Mega-Butter. Mmmmm. Yes, the news is this news: the always-reliable Drive-By Truckers have gone and made a video – but no! Wait! – TWO videos for the chunky riff-o-rama of “This Fucking Job”. But rather than documenting the tawdry and lewd world of the “professional night-time escort” business – as the song title would misleadingly suggest – it instead shows us a man losing his job…
[VIDEO] LCD Soundsystem – ‘Drunk Girls’ (live @ Later With Jools Holland)
LCD Soundsystem’s highly anticipated third studio album, “This Is Happening”, is just one week away from its official release date. As such, seeing how live performance broadcasts on national television of the band were just waiting to occur, James Murphy and co. stepped by Jools Holland’s show where they simply rocked the house with their latest single, “Drunk Girls”.
