Milkoholics

Let's just take a minute to soak in the genius that is The Prodigy's "Baby's Got A Temper" video which features the band singing about loving, and taking date rape drugs to a crowd of cows while scantily clad women milk them. The milk is then sold to some people who seem to really, really want it.

Cooler than Blur

MGMT's self-titled album is much better than their sophomore slump album, and it's got some great videos to go along with it! This video, released today, just left me saying, "Uhhhh, what?"... check out "Cool Song No. 2" and tell me if you can figure out just what is going on.

Wait

So I'd never heard of Oneohtrix Point Never till the new Nine Inch Nails album which contained a remix for "Find My Way" by the musician. I really dug the remix so I thought I'd check out some more of their stuff which lead me to this amazing video, which just came out last month. The video is for the track "Problem Areas" which comes from the soon to be released R Plus Seven, due September 30th. Daniel Lopatin is the mastermind behind Oneohtrix Point Never and has been around since 2007. In the time since then he has released nine albums, mostly falling into the drone/synth/ambient electronic categories. Check out this new track and if you dig it, check out some of his expansive back-catalog and look forward to his new album!

Titillating Travels

I just found out about the band Demon Queen today. Demon Queen pairs up Tobacco (of Black Moth Super Rainbow) and Zackey Force Funk in yet another experimental/psychedelic electronic collab with hints of hip hop around the edges. The pair work great together, as shown here, by this track "Love Hour Zero" from their debut album Exorcise Tape which dropped August 6th. The video was released just a few days ago (Sept 13th) and is semi-NSFW due to it's main subject who the video follows on quite the adventure. The main subject you ask? It's a lone breast. Yeah. One breast. Don't ask, just watch:

Better Off Remixed

Today we've got a great remix by Giraffage of the classic Alice DeeJay dance track "Better Off Alone". Giraffage posted this to his soundcloud today, and as it's a remix, I'm assuming there won't be video. I love the alterations of the vocals for some reason. Usually I don't like vocals messed with too much in remixes, but Charlie Yin did a great job. Check out the remix (and the original, if you've never heard it) and if you dig it check out more Giraffage, or more Alice DeeJay!

6218

This track and a few others evoke some of my most nostalgic feelings. They bring me back to hot summer nights dancing in a house full of music, friends, booze, and love. Gin buckets and clove-cigarettes. Drinks and sunrise-watching on the roof. Late night walks up and down secret staircases. Potato, cheese, and sour cream burritos from Molcasalsa turned Alanbertos. I realized recently that what was happening in that house was pretty damn insane. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

NeckStache

The Harp Twins (Camille and Kennerly) are back with a Medley of Mario Brothers songs which they posted yesterday. Check out the duo with their snazzy suits plucking away at their electric harps in front of an awesome Mario-esque castle! The pair have a number of great covers and some good original songs too! Check out their soundcloud or facebook for more music.

Kimosabe

BT's track with Aqualung "Surrounded" from BT's new album A Song Across Wires (released August 16th) had a video release today. A Song Across Wires is BT's 10th full length album. It has a wide range of sub genres through the dance music genre throughout the album and in a way encapsulates his career from his earlier trance days to his more fast-paced dance tracks of more recent albums.  Just a heads up, I hate the armada video channel on youtube because it has advertisements at the end and they are louder than the track itself, so I apologize. Just be warned. I've loved BT's music for quite some time now and have had the opportunity to see him live a few times. If you ever get a chance to see him, I highly recommend! "Skylarking" which I posted before is also from A Song Across Wires.

Galaxy Man

Shit Robot's new video for "We Got A Love" ft. Reggie Watts on vocals was released earlier this morning. I absolutely love the galaxy person. Reminds me of the galaxy leggings blackmilk (and some other knockoffs) have. It just looks rad in the video though!

Drugged Butterflies

New Phaeleh video out today! The video is kinda hard to follow, I'm not too sure what's going on. There's a woman who falls from the sky, and is wearing white. She wanders around seemingly interested in her surroundings as if not from this world she's fallen to. She finds a vial and drinks liquid from it, seemingly a hallucinogen as she begins to see some visuals. The next time she is shown, she is wearing darker clothes, and kneeling at a cross made from twigs. The change possibly symbolizing her change due to drugs? Check out "Tokoi" from Phaeleh's album Tides below. If you're in San Diego, be sure to check out Phaeleh, Shigeto, Deacon, and my friend Mystery Cave at the Casbah on October 5th!

Second Chance

Today this awesomely animated new video from AM & Shawn Lee was released, and I found out that they are playing here in San Diego at the end of this month! They played here back in June, but due to some mishaps I had to sell my ticket as I wasn't able to go. Super stoke I get another chance to see them so soon, and it's at the same venue, and same price! Can't beat $10 for (incredible) live music! Check out "Come Back To Me" from La Musique Numerique.

See What I See

Franz Ferdinand released the third video from their new album Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action today, and it's a bit cheesy. Bizarre at times as well. Check out "Evil Eye" and if you haven't check out the rest of the album which was released on the 26th of last month.

Eau De Spare

Another Yeah Yeah Yeah's video slipped by me. This one was released back in July... "Despair". The video starts out slow, but the song kicks in at 1:48 if you wanna skip the intro part.

Seasons of Califonia

Last year we got word that there would be a new Mazzy Star album, and with no word on it for quite some time I was starting to get worried. This will be their first album in 17 years. While Hope Sandoval has done some solo material and worked with plenty of projects, none have quite been what Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval and David Roback) was to their fans. Today we got another glimpse of the new album in the form of a new track (the last glimpse having been "Common Burn" and "Lay Myself Down" which were released last October together as an EP). "California" is the name of the new track, and we have word of the album title now, which is Seasons of Your Day. Here's a great article/interview with Hope and Roback on the new album. Check out "California" below, and look for Seasons of Your Day September 24th.

Elephant Toots

"The Fox" hit youtube yesterday, and took the world by storm! Ok, ok, not really, but it's blown up pretty big. People are calling it the next "Gangnam Style". I wonder if it will get to 1 billion views quicker than Psy's track did? Guess we'll have to wait and see! In the mean-time, check out Ylvis' "The Fox".

Tales Of You, Tales Of Me

The second video from Goldfrapp's new album Tales Of Us has arrived today. The video has the same soft feeling to it, ambiance, and is again, in the long format video style as the video for "Drew". Maybe we'll actually get one video for each song? One can hope!
