Sofia Coppola and M83 should probably make movies together.

whenever i watch the video for "Midnight City" it makes me think of Sofia Coppola directing an X-Men or New Mutants movie with M83 doing the score.

i wanna die just like jesus christ, i wanna die on a bed of spikes

this video is fucking cool.

just watch. The Black Ryder "Sweet Come Down". this is a cool fucking video. blood, murder, the desert, westernish guitars. like Sergio hanging out with the Velvets.



found this via one of my fav blogs, GNARLITUDE.

Dum Dum Girls new video

Too Many Creeps

M.I.A. "Born Free" = Best Video of the Year....just kidding

This video is kind of silly if you watch it more than once. THIS is some bullshit Rage would make. It's all so 90s, beating me over the head with it's preachiness. Goddamn it. Let me be apathetic to the plight of the opressed peoples of the world. fuck M.I.A.

Happy St. Patrick's Day From My Bloody Valentine

the 2nd greatest Irish rock band behind Thin Lizzy.

"Only Shallow"

just like honey

The Wolfmen vs. Primal Scream, I Put A Spell On You

i think the Horrors really DO think they're My Bloody Valentine now, or something

their new video for "Mirror's Image" is pretty neo-psychedelic. i can dig.

The Dead Weather "Treat Me Like Your Mother"

this video is all kinds of rad. i'm not much of a fan of the song.

i think i just fell in love

Another NUGAZE band 4 yr A$$

this is THE BIG PINK. it's another in the recent line of shoegazer revivalists. this sounds kinda like My Bloody Valentine and M83 with some Nine Inch Nails thrown in for optimal 90s effect. the video is SOOOOOO 90s that it hurts. seriously it looks like something i would've seen on 120 Minutes or something. but anyways i dig the song a lot. these guys are on 4AD so that gives em some shoegazer cred and the one dude used to be in Alec Empires band...so you know he likes some noise. i don't know, this is a pretty good first single by a band i had never heard/read anything about until i saw this video on MTV2 this morning (yeah apparently from 6AM-10AM MTV2 plays nothing but videos...set yr DVRS kids). the only thing available on Itunes from The Big Pink is this single and a shitty b-side that has them ripping off the Jesus and Mary Chain and Smokey Robinson. regardless i'll keep my ears open to any future singles that they release.

Greatest Video EVER or Greatest Video Possible?

you can put this bullshit on mute...but GODDAMN!!!



i already know what my top video for 2009 is gonna be. King Magazine may be gone but it's spirit is def alive in this video.

Sonic Youth's "Death Valley 69"

directed by arty perv-master Richard Kern.

Goodbye Michael.

my childhood died today.

for all my love of Iggy Pop and Kurt Cobain, it was Michael Jackson that was my first true love. THRILLER was my first record and i listened to it constantly. whenever MJ's videos would come on MTV i would get up and act them out in my living room and entertain my parents. i was even the werewolf Michael turns into in the "Thriller" video for Halloween when i was 6. he may have been a kiddie touching freak show with bad plastic surgery and a kid named Blanket...but goddamn it he was still awesome when i was a little boy.

it's too bad he and Paul never got a chance to patch things up.

classic 80s Indie cut of the day

Felt "Primitive Painters"

The Best Single Of 2009

i'm going ahead and calling "Daniel" by Bat For Lashes the best song of 2009. i mean it's a love song about the Karate Kid. seriously, what's not to love about that?

Major Lazer = my Summer Jam 09

Video For New Sonic Youth Single

if you haven't gotten "The Eternal" yet then you should do yourself a favor and pick it up.
