Interpol - Rest My Chemistry

Did the band record one of those old Winamp visualizations from Windows 95? Just curious.

At The Drive-In - One Armed Scissor

Since this awesome song is going to be in the new Guitar Hero, I thought I’d post the video for it. Classic.

Gnarls Barkley - Moving On

The boys of Gnarls Barkley have out-weirded themselves with this video. A bunch of dancing Caribbean people carrying a door containing a gateway to another dimension. So pedestrian.

Dead To Fall - Major Rager

Nearly a month after an abrupt breakup, Victory released the following Dead To Fall video. I’ve had mixed feelings with the guys in DTF. I don’t find dick/fart/porn/drug jokes all that funny, which is what they seemed to enjoy over the last couple of years. However, this video is super fun to watch. There’s some good camera work, really making the party look chaotic. But what makes it so funny is that the lyrics are outrageous anyway. Hearing the lyrics and seeing the visuals make the video hilarious.

Behind the Suit and Tie Shows The Real Metal Industry

If you were to look at the artwork on Behind The Suit and Tie, you’d probably think that this movie will crucify the money hungry labels, or maybe promotion agencies, or maybe even fests and venues for having an insane cut of the merch sales.

I was stoked that I’d finally see how in ‘the business’ everyone seems to make money but the bands. The trailer turned out to be four minutes of three interviews where people complained about illegal downloading, and how it has destroyed sales and the livelihood of the bands. Consider their logic that - at a show - more people sang along with a band’s songs than the amount of CDs sold in that region, meaning the fans had to be illegally swapping. Brilliant.

Does this mean that behind closed doors the metal industry people spend the day blaming slumping sales, a lack of any creative online media program, growing irrelevance, spending loads of cash for hyped up advertisement that doesn’t work, and charging the same amount of money for either a real or digital CD on the kids who illegally download music? Possibly so. If it is, prepare to sleep through a 90-minute bitch fest that will do nothing more than further reinforce that labels take no responsibility for their destiny.

Protest The Hero - Sequoia Throne

Play Dethklok On Guitar, Get Chicks

Be warned! Once you learn how to play a Dethklok song, you’ll have the power. Women shan’t resist you. Men will fear you. Or the opposite if you’re a girl or whatever. Check out Guitar World Magazine’s June 2008 issue for a complete transcription of the song Thunderhorse. Video after the jump. (more…)

Van She - Strangers

Are hipsters doing so much blow that they don’t realize ironic mustaches are so ironic these days that they’ve come full circle and are actually un-ironic? At least dude’s not sporting one of these bad boys.

David Bazan - Curse Your Branches

Here’s a new-ish song by David Bazan (Remember when we interviewed him ages ago, or when he told a some lazy journalists “to go fuck themselves?”). The track could be about:

I’m going with D. It is David Bazan, after all. FYI, the song slays, too.

Tapes ‘N Tapes - Hang Them All

When did Napoleon Dynamite dye his hair black and become a criminal? Just curious.
