 I’m a huge LCD Soundsystem fan, personally — I think James Murphy makes some of the most urgent, emotionally moving music out there (and the dude can certainly produce a record, too). That said, here’s the fucking crazy music video for the excellent new single “Drunk Girls.” If you haven’t heard it yet, grab the track below; I’m not entirely sure why it hasn’t gotten as much love as it should. It basically sounds like a different version “Watch the Tapes” but with less of a bass groove and more hilarious lyrics. (Note: Watching this video won’t help you Continue reading LCD Soundsystem’s New Video is Sufficiently Weird, Awesome…
 “Let’s Hear That String Part Again, Because I Don’t Think They Heard It All the Way Out In Bushnell” – Sufjan Stevens So I just saw Wes Anderson’s latest film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I really liked it a lot. The movie reminds me of mewithoutYou’s latest music video “The Fox, The Crow, and The Cookie.” In an interview with Alternative Press, singer Aaron Weiss said “the title and plot are taken almost directly from a children’s story by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen that my mom used to read to me. It’s from a book called My Love You, Continue reading Video: mewithoutYou – The (Fantastic Mr.) Fox, The Crow, and The Cookie…
 When you decide to cover a classic track there’s always a huge risk of serious suckage, but some bands just have the gift. Easy Star All Stars are freaking pros (Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, Dub Side of the Moon…. blablabla etc etc etc.), and it has has recently come to my attention that Beck is also a cover virtuoso. If you haven’t heard it yet, check out Beck’s Record Club – it’s a gold mine of some soon-to-be classic interpretations of already classic recordings. Beck gathers an all-star cast of musicians and records an entire album Continue reading Dirty Projectors do Black Flag, Beck does Cohen & Spence…
 Steve Albini is responsible for fronting the most caustic and, depending on whether or not you have a sense of humor, either hilarious or upsetting bands of the mid- to late-80s (Big Black), that weird sort of late-80s to 90s spur period (Rapeman), and the 90s proper (Shellac), as well as producing more albums by more bands than we’re sure even he can keep track of. Continue reading Best Interview Ever: Ian Svenonius Interviews Steve Albini on Soft Focus…
 Let me preface by saying I have not heard any songs by any of these artists except for the ones posted below. I kinda feel like the rest of them will probably suck, so at the risk of losing esteem for the presented tracks, I think I’ll choose to remain ignorant.

 The Associates released ‘Club Country‘ on April 26th 1982, which appeared on their third album, Sulk. The B side was a non-LP track. The 12 inch version added “Ulcragyceptemol” (added as a bonus to Sulk when it was re-released) and a remixed version of “Club Country”. The single reached the #10 spot on the U.K. singles chart. Continue reading FLASHBACK FRIDAY: The Associates – Club Country…
 Yes I know it’s Sunday, so what? Since I haven’t been vibing on any music lately, except for Shellac (obviously), and I can only post the same 5 Shellac songs so many times before someone’ll throw a brick at my head until I can’t lift it anymore, I had to come up with something. So these are my 3 favorite songs written before 1970. At least, they are for right now and probably still will be tomorrow. Did anyone else almost by that video game that used ‘White Rabbit’ in its commercial last year for the sole reason that the song made the game look so rad? Guilty. Enjoy. Continue reading FLASHBACK FRIDAY: The Box Tops, The Buckinghams, and Jefferson Airplane…

 Beck’s website is pretty bitchen. Back in June he launched a section called “Record Club” that features weekly videos of Beck and his friends re-recording entire albums. The first one is The Velvet Underground & Nico. Here’s what he has to say about it:
