Com Truise (aka Seth Haley) is back with this DOS-inspired video for his track “Terminal” from Galactic Melt. I’ve discussed my love of this record before here and this song is a perfect example of what I like about it. It’s the first track and serves as an intro to the rest of his brand of lo-fi, mid-tempo electronic spacescapes. I only wish the LP wasn’t out of print.
Hey, Ghostly, get on the ball and repress that motherfucker already.
I know, you didn’t wake up this morning and think, Man, you know what I need today? 6 hours of awesome Kraftwerk jams. I find that pretty weird since I’m not sure a day goes by that I don’t think that.
Luckily for you, DJ Food—Matt Black and Jonathan More(Coldcut) from Ninjatune—have been spending all of March posting about Kraftwerk after being inspired by their upcoming dates at MOMA. Additionally, they’ve put out six hour-long mixes of Kraftwerk remixes, covers, and originals interlaced with interview audio and other soundbits from Kraftwerk’s legendary career.

How great are these? Pretty great. Enjoy!
This might be one of the best music videos I’ve seen in ages. I think Jake Gyllenhaal plays an incredible version of a hipster hipster-hating Patrick Bateman here. I also really love the intercutting between banal day to day shit (getting a haircut, eating dinner, staring at birds) and murdering a bunch of kids in silly outfits with deliberate haircuts. Is there anything you don’t like about this video? I can’t think of a single thing. Beautifully shot, beautifully acted, beautifully cut. It’s amazing. The song is great too and the incredibly violent imagery juxtaposed to a song calling for dancing is fantastic.
Wonderful!
Uh, some nutso grimey sissy bounce from Diplo? Yes, please. Do yourself a favor and assess all the asses. You will be better off for it. Bonus points for the Black Metal Diplo shirt. My only real disappointment with this track/video is that there is no Big Freedia cameo. Maybe next time.
I think the moment I realized that the video for Familjen’s “Det snurrar i min skalle” was brilliant was when you first see the little blonde boy hitting the cymbal in time to the beat. Before that, I was a little unsure, but I did not leave disappointed. Everything I know about Familjen (Swedish for “The Family”) comes from the Spotify blurb which I could copy paste for you guys, but instead I’ll just link you to the artist page.
Charles sent me this video earlier after a long discussion about late 90s/early 00s drum & bass and few back-and-forths of videos of people dancing to music they’re not dancing to. I dig the synthpop styling of the track and the 60s Swedish church footage they used to make the video. It’s real good.
Do you remember how in college I used to listen to Idiology basically on repeat? You don’t? What’s wrong with your memory? Go to a doctor.
Mouse on Mars is back with a forthcoming record after a many-year hiatus and they’ve released this video for their first single “Polaroyced”. At the beginning you think the video is going to be a super simple video of El Luchador De Oro dancing around the back streets of Venice, CA, but it ends up being so much more. Floating golden dogs! Exploding palms! Glitter everywhere!
Rio, you’re going to love this one.
The outfits!
The dancing!
The goats!
The song!
THE VIDEO!
Who knew I could find two amazing videos in one afternoon?!?
I love this a lot. At first you’re all, “Man, this is a totally normal music video of a panda chilling out in his hotel room. He calls the front desk. What’s weird about this?” And then BOOM—pole dancing chicks emerge from the ceiling. And then it gets better. Watch the whole thing! Enjoy it! It is NOT work safe for you people with serious jobs, but I won’t spoil why not. Needless to say, you’ll like it and if you don’t you’re wrong.
