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…
There are few things in this world that make my brain quiver more appreciatively than news of a new Mark Lanegan album. So let’s all get a -quiverin’, because Hawk is released this week – his latest collaboration with the lady we music cricket types are mysteriously obligated to label “Scottish chanteuse”, Isobel Campbell. That his work with Campbell tends to paddle indifferently around the more insipid depths of Lanegan’ s catalogue matters very little…
It’s official, Wyclef Jean filled for the presidency of Haiti, one of the most poorest countries in the world, on August 5th, after much debate and controversy surrounded his decision in these past days. If you thought the man is popular in the US, know that a few monumental albums landed by him not only made him into one of the scene’s icons, but also one of the most beloved Haitians in his country. This…
This past weekend Thom Yorke made a surprise appearance on the Big Chill festival stage where he landed an almost brand new Radiohead song titled “Give Up the Ghost” (the track debuted live sometime in February this year, but it hasn’t been played since). The whole performance was dazzling, and as for the song itself – a real gem! Thom went up on stage, thumbed the mic to a beat, then looped one of his…
On their previous cover art for the dreadful “Raditude” Weezer went for a loldog icanhazcheezburger approach which was more or less quite funny for a second or two. Their latest album dubbed “Hurley” and due September 14 on Epitaph Records continues on the same internet meme territory with this preposterous literal rendition of the title. Yeah, that’s a photo of the ever jovial Jorge Garcia Hurley from Lost. Oh, and if you think, after four…
Simple, yet highly entertaining, Broken Social Scene video for “Forced to Love” taps into more high-tech grounds, depicting the band’s hologram playing the flying guitar rocker. Forced to Love is off the talented Canadian collective’s latest recently released full length, “Forgiveness Rock Record”, out now on Arts & Crafts.
If you have 17 months to spare that is… A certain crafty, passionate and, not lastly, obsessed individual took the liberty and time to recreate the famous Daft Punk helmets in the comfort of his own studio. The end-result is nothing short of spectacular, and can be seen in the YouTube video embedded below in all its 749 steps towards completion. [via Radio Exile]
Alright, this is one of those disturbing videos you run into, and immediately after hitting the play button through out the end of it all you’re left with that oh so familiar what-the-fuck feeling. One thing’s for sure with Ratatat’s latest video for “Drugs” – it’s damn well suggestive. Ratatat’s latest album “LP4” is out now on XL. DrugsRATATAT | MySpace Music Videos
Seems like Panda Bear isn’t the only Animal Collective to release a solo album this year, seeing how Avey Tare is prepping his solo debut, titled “Down There”, for an autumn release. His press release states that Avey’s “favorite animals are the otter and crocodile [and] the latter has played a big role in his newest record,” which kinda explains the cover art pictured above. I’ve got not idea how his new album will sound…
