March 03, 2009

Video of the Day: Winter Gloves, “Let Me Drive”
March 03, 2009
Flip-book frenzy! I don’t know if this is completely manual in the “draw goofy stuff in the corner of your history book” sense – there might have been technical assistance somewhere in the process — but even if some computers helped in the replication process, this is no mean feat.

Video of the Day: Vivian Girls, “Wild Eyes” from A>D>D
March 02, 2009
This great performance comes from Pitchfork’s ongoing A>D>D series, in which great performers are videographed using old-school analog equipment, and Vivian Girls sound just as magnificent here as they do on record. Very C86.

The Beatles’ “Revolution,” Take 20
February 27, 2009
The Beatles, as in “The White Album,” was the best way to sizzle a brain without chemicals. I still remember freaking myself out with my freshly purchased vinyl in 1981, going back to my room, putting on headphones and, after the 90 minutes were over, realizing that most of my record collection was utterly...

With Ben Lyons, Suddenly Rex Reed Doesn’t Seem So Dependably Awful
December 30, 2008
Other than the Luxor in Vegas, this is the BEST PYRAMID EVER!
Ben Lyons, the new co-host of “At the Movies,” rose up from that bastion of fine entertainment journalism, the E! Network, to inherit the televisual seat formerly occupied by Roger Ebert. The new regime does not sit well with professional... Read More

Either/Or, Episode 13: Christmas Edition
December 22, 2008
In Either/Or, we take two people in similar pursuits, and you choose between them. It can be based on any criteria: professional ability, personality, intellectual prowess, physical pulchritude, or who you’d want backing you up in a knife fight. It really doesn’t matter: just choose Either/Or.

Christmas-ish Video of the Day: Andy Kaufman, “That’s Where Your Heartaches Begin”
December 22, 2008
This is one of Andy’s performances from the 1979 Johnny Cash Christmas Special, and it’s just a reminder that, among other things, he was the best Elvis Presley impersonator of all time.

U2 Announces Album Title and Release Date
December 19, 2008
Generally, Friday is the day where they release news they don’t want in the marketplace of ideas, but this certainly sets up the expectation game nicely: U2 announced it will release its 12th studio disc, titled No Line on the Horizon, on March 3 in the U.S. and Canada.

CSS |MTV Music
1. CSS, "Move." Perfectly pleasant electro, but where the hell is the edge? With the first disc, I felt like I was listening to something I shouldn't be, but now CSS is safe and mild. Tired of being interesting?
2. Air vs. The Moog Cookbook, “Kelly Watch the Stars.”

Music Review: The Knux “Remind Me in 3 Days…” (Interscope)
December 17, 2008
Rating: 90
The last time hip-hop and rock got too close they made ugly babies with names like Limp Bizkit and Korn, but the Los Angeles-by-way-of New Orleans duo the Knux has learned from those decade-old mistakes.
Brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Al Millio draw from smarter influences on “Remind Me in 3... Read More

1. Seu Jorge, “Life on Mars.” Masterful version of the Bowie classic that is now enjoying something o a revival thanks to the ABC version of the BBC series, which is currently on hiatus and will not be back until “Lost” returns in late January. Life is hard — I’ll be regaling my grandkids... Read More
Video of the Day: Little Joy, “No One’s Better Sake”
December 15, 2008
Debut single from Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti’s new band, which not surprisingly sounds a whole hell of a lot like a tropicalia-infused version of his day job.

1. Vivian Girls, “Tell the World.” This could completely pass for a classic C86-era single, and we need much more of that beautiful noise today.
2. Pavement, “Conduit For Sale!”
3. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, “House Fire.”
4. Lavender Diamond, “Oh No.”
5. The Knux,... Read More
