• Video Power: She & Him – In the Sun

  Artist: She & Him
  Song: “In the Sun” (from the upcoming album Volume 2)
  I think this is the first time a video of Zooey Deschanel didn’t make me crush madly on her. She’s a lot less awkward when she stands around staring awkwardly. Indie indifference suits her better than twee pop joy.

• Amen to Zombie: March 5th, 2010

  In a world where experimental electronic music exponentially splinters into a multitude of rogue genres that slowly shuffle the globe from demilitarized dance floors to sleeper cell bedroom studios and back, a team of disparate scientists tracks this solanum-like pandemic while desperately trying to interpret cryptic field recordings of Samhain’s past, not one day at [...]

  Ladies and gentlemen, there is a man who is named Robert Kelly who is the greatest rhythm and blues singer of all time. I’m sure many of you have heard of him, and heard his claims to the title as well, but I’ve yet to hear anyone dispute his title. Let him remind you that [...]

• Gray Area: Vol. 7, Bleepin’ Bleep Bleep Edition

  I had a brilliant idea in the shower two days ago. I’d write my next Gray Area column about R. Kelly. Robert Kelly, a true American musical genius and auteur. But a lot of you have a hard time taking that man’s work as seriously as he does, and I don’t think you’re ready to [...]

• Video Power: Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra – I Built Myself A Metal Bird

  Artist: Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra
  Song: “I Built Myself a Metal Bird” (from the album Kollaps Tradixionales)
  It’s not too often bands use a live version of a song for their video. An interesting choice that works fairly well. Not sure why the audience is so grumpy though.
  Kollaps Tradixionales came out last week [...]
