Deftones - Sextape

I don't think I ever posted this here before. I found this video, from the Deftones' 2010 album Diamond Eyes, about the time Koi No Yokan came out (which was my album of the year last year).

This video is fantastic.

The Cocteau Twins

This was my introduction to The Cocteau Twins back around late 90's. In the Napster days I'd pulls samples from all the different bands I'd never heard but always wanted to and make mix discs out of them. If I dug the stuff I'd go out and buy the record. I used to call those mixes Satan's Discoteque Volume whatever. Some of them were pretty good, I'll have to post a couple here at some point. Anyway, these were the two songs by Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Will Heggie that I downloaded first and totally at random. Talk about 100% accuracy, as not only do I still think these two songs - which open and close my favorite Cocteau Twins record, Heaven or Las Vegas - go great together, but either one of them would be strong enough to have make me a life-long fan, which I am.

Mick Harvey Has a New Record Coming Out

\
It's titled Four (Acts of Love), due June 11th according to mxdwn. I couldn't find anything to post from it, so here's an interview from last year I'd never seen before.

The Virgins - FMD (NOT the video!)

So I first encountered this group this morning. They have a new video for this song. This is another reason why I generally don't dig music videos (though I post an awful lot of them, eh?). I watched about ten seconds of it and in the same flash of realization knew I loved the song but hated the video. Oh how I wish my first impression of the song had been cerebral instead of visual. Sorry, but the 80's video mock-up's been dead (to me at least) for some time - it's just not funny on any visual level at this point. But enough criticism, because again, I really dig the song.

Chelsea Light Moving "Empires Of Time" Northampton, MA 2.24.13

Found a couple of these posted on Brooklyn Vegan today. Nice. You can see the others and read about the performance if you go here.

My Friend Sonny's Audition for Check Please

He just kills it in this. I haven't seen Check Please in forever being that I've lived 300 miles away for years but seriously, Chicago or not if you landed here and you like funny, watch this and then Like it, Tweet it, whatever. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN!!!
