Com Truise’s “Brokendate”

September 26, 2011 |

Music and Music Videos

I know you’re all anxiously awaiting my thoughts on my Spain trip—and you’ll get them—but until I have a moment to sit and write it all up with photos, you’ll have to wait.

Until then, here’s the new Com Truise video for his track “Brokendate”. Inspired by equal parts Blade Runner and Tron, the video does an excellent job of converting Com Truise’s particular brand of dark, synthy music into appropriate visuals. Besides the awesome video, the track deserves to be listened to on decent speakers so do yourself a favor and don’t listen through your shitty laptop speakers.

ANBRx Pharamceuticals II

About Music and Music

This might be one of the most perfect slices of electrogrind insanity I’ve heard in a while and I feel compelled to share it with you knowing full well that basically everyone who listens to it will hate it. But if I reach even one person who understands the genius of this, I will have accomplished something wonderful for the future of humanity.

Below is Agoraphobic Nosebleed’s Pharmaceuticals II, presented under the moniker ANBRx which they use when the music is of a more electronic nature. Typically, Agoraphobic Nosebleed sounds like grind made with drum machines, whereas ANBRx sounds like electronic music made into grind. Does that make sense? To me it does, so that’s ok. Listen and be afaid:

Did you listen on shitty speakers? Bullshit. Do it again on a good set of speakers and get back to me.

If for whatever reason that iframe above is behaving badly, you can listen to and download the record free here: ANBRx Pharmaceuticals II.

AWESOME.

Chromeo’s “Night Falls”

Music and Music Videos

Oh, Chromeo, will I ever get tired of your inventive, slick, hilarious music videos? Probably not. Getting chicks explosively pregnant? The only other person I’ve seen pull that trick is my dad. HEEYYYOOOOOO.

Anyways, this video rules and you should watch it. Why do I even say that? Of course it rules. That’s why it’s here. If it was bad, I would let you know. Otherwise, from here on out, let’s just assume that the video is going to be awesome if you see it here on The Black Laser.

I’m not feeling particularly clever right now. My head hurts. Watch the thingie.

Skrillex’s “First of the Year (Equinox)”

Music and Music Videos

Look, Mr. Rapist, we all know that you only wanted to ask her if the rag smelled like chloroform, but you picked the wrong psychic demon girl to try and force yourself upon. Now, you’ll never force yourself on anyone again.

Obviously inspired by Chris Cunningham’s “Come to Daddy” video, this video is one of the slickest pieces I’ve seen in a while (forgiving the dodgy demon CG at points). Certainly, when I think of Dubstep (Brostep, really), these sorts of visuals are what comes to mind: wet, cityscapes, green, darkness, grit. It’s a point I’ve discussed before.

I hope Skrillex gets the opportunity to make more videos like this. It is really, really cool.

It’s my birthday.

Thoughts

I am 29 years old. It is an insignificant marker, but that’s where I am. Happy birthday to me. That is all.

I wish The Black Laser a productive, magical year. Everyone who reads this should enjoy a delicious treat in honor of my birthday. I don’t care what it is, but send me a photo.

Love you all.

edit//Here’s something else I learned: I share the same birthday as Iceland. Let’s all eat sheep’s face and rotten shark! Huzzah!
