The Rolling Stones & Katy Perry - Beast Of Burden



I never would have guessed I'd wake up at 430AM to find this, but that's that. Weird, but makes sense based on the way the Stones are handling things for this tour.

Went up at some point yesterday. Go to Consequence of Sound to read about the why's and wherefore's.

Sunday Slayer - Christ Illusion



My wife interviewed Tom Araya when this record came out. I remember being psyched that A) Mr. Dave Fucking Lombardo was back in the band and B) Mr. Rick Fucking Rubin was back in the producer's seat. It did not disappoint then, and in pulling it out for the first time in a couple years I remember (my go-to Slayer records being Live Undead, Decade of Aggression and Reign in Blood - I really need to hunt down another copy of Show No Mercy).

And you know, I'm not one for stupid internet memes, but...


Mario Cotto, Hana & Larry Gus



Well, they may have taken my Rollins show off Saturdays but Mario Cotto's still on Midnight to 3AM and he is known to bring the noise. Just spun this and I fell in love.

sys.exe - Sundown (radio edit)



Nice.

Chairlift - I Belong in Your Arms - In Japanese!



Weird but still awesome

Liars - Brats



Liars!

The Boredoms - Acid Police



For years I believed the song title and assumed he was saying "Acid - Police". Now I think it sounds more like "Asshole Portishead".

But I like Portishead, Yamatsuka!

Killing Joke - Corporate Elect



Posted earlier, along with some unreleased stuff, by the mighty Brooklyn Vegan.

Killing Joke - Love Like Blood



The song that got me into this band circa almost ten years ago. Rather late, still better than never. We all know they were a big influence on metallica, but me thinks motley crue as well - main riff to dr fullfood clearly taken from/inspired by this song.

Blut Aus Nord - MoRT ch. 2



From one of their albums I don't own yet.

Edgar Wright's The World's End



Watching this I realize I've somehow fallen into a place where I take Edgar Wright's movies for granted. This reminded me how awesome they are.


Gary F$&king Oldman stars in Video for David Bowie's The Next Day



...and Marion Cotillard. And is that Tilda Swinton, or do I just have her on the brain because of the The Stars (are out tonight) video from a few months ago? This is the work of the same director, Floria Sigismondi, who I'd not realized until now directed 2010's Runaways film, basd on the band of the same name*. I'm becoming quite the fan of Ms. Sigismondi's work, and this new Bowie video is a great example why. She moves in a very particular way within the setting - it's almost dream-like. The Next Day is wonderfully strewn with blasphemy and, did I mention, GARY OLDMAN!!!

Also, I should add NSFW, which appears to be becoming the new music video paradigm?


New Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings


They've been off my radar for a while but between 100 Days, 100 Nights and the unbelievable work-for-hire the band did on the late Amy Winehouse's blow-up (but still remarkable) Back to Black I became a quick fan. As has been my mantra while I work on my novel, this isn't exactly where my mind is at right now, but I can still spin it once, love it (I DID!) and pass it on!

Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine - Mid East Peace Process



There's always room for... oh, no. That's lame. But this song is most definitely NOT!

PVT - Homosapiens



New PVT! I got wind of their new record a couple months ago but couldn't find anything about it on their labels website. It fell off my radar and now I find that the freakin' thing came out about the time I was researching it. WTF?!? Oh well, at least it's here now.

Special thanks to my good friend Jacob for turning me onto these guys.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Mermaids



Video that was shot at LA's Henry Fonda Musicbox back in February. String section and children's choir provided by Silver Lake Music Conservatory.

The Rolling Stones + Tom Waits: Little Red Rooster



First Mick Taylor. Then the Echo. Now Tom Waits. The Stones are really making a run at the 'cool factor' again.

It's working.

Bibio - A tout a l'heure: Music Video

Dillinger Escape Plan - Prancer: Lyric Video



Jesus I can't wait for this album.

Queens of the Stone Age - I Appear Missing Video... kinda



Video for, um... 3 minutes of a new Queens song that is actually 6 minutes long. SO, I'm not sure if the video is parsed like the song and there's more a'coming, or if this is a promotional thing. Either way, NEW QUEENS!!!

Once again, I'm re-posting via Brooklyn Vegan, read what the masters have to say about this here.

SHELLAC nearing completion of new record! YAY!!



Thank to Brooklyn Vegan for posting this. Excellent Italian Greyhound was FANTASTIC, and I am well past needing a new record from these guys.

This is a pretty awesome interview.

"You don't want to be shown up by Uriah Heep." Not possible Steve, not possible.
