Bale Out- RevoLucian

RevoLucian's mix never seems to lose its charm.

Rudy Velle and the Soul Phonics

My good friend Anthony turned me on to this band recently. Very, very nice.

David Lynch - Strange and Unproductive Thinking

Lynch's second album is filled from start to finish with wonderfully dark and noirish songs. This is one of two songs that wrap that tone in a bit of an Underworld-like urban throb.

Police Training Video on... SATANISTS!!!

My good friend Michael sent me this recently and I laughed my ass off when I watched it. Apparently this is the real thing, used to teach cops about the dangerous practices of Satanists by a former Satanist.

Uh-huh. I'm assuming that no self-respecting follower of the dark lord would wear his hair like that.

Thanks to the good folks at Dangerous Minds for posting this. They have a more in-depth write up here.

The Neighbourhood - Female Robbery

I followed my hunch and listened to the entire album by The Neighbourhood. It's fantastic. If you're familiar with DJ Muggs' amazing record DUST then you know the Noir Hop version of Greg Duli's Twilight Singer's Fat City (Slight Return). The Neighbourhood's I Love You is a record with a very similar tone.

Patton Oswalt's Star Wars Filibuster - Now Animated!!!

No matter how many times I listen to this it doesn't lose its effect. And now it's animated. Admit it - we all wanted to see Chewbacca's severed head. What's that say about us?

New Track by The Neighbourhood - West Coast

Wow. Old School G-Funk? Really? I only have time to listen to it once (449am - gotta go gotta go). It might work though...

I've really fallen in love with The Neighbourhood's first single "Sweater Weather" - just waiting to see if KROQ (which is usually on often in the shared space at work when I don't have my iPod on) beats it to death for me. If you missed that one, give it two or three listens - me thinks it will grow on you.
