Friday Evening Pop Art Banquet

With the advent of Netflix, Redbox, and streaming video on the internet, the end of your blockbusters and movie gallerys is fact. For the most part, we will not mourn thier passing, nor should we. There is one, little thing though, that will be missed. In a way it's more a part of the culture of the independent video store than the blockbuster; i remember a video rental store frequented by my family that is now occupied by Vibe.



Anyway, the fun i'm talking about is VHS Cover art. Who among us wasn't enticed, excited and occasionally frightened by these little pop art masterpieces? Modern covers are photoshop construced pieces of bland marketing; those VHS covers of the past were flea-market approved bits of exploitation. RIP.

Hot Chip - I Feel Better






Ted Leo does Tears

The AV Club has started a new weekly feature: a band picks a song from a list made by the AV Club, covers it, and then the song is marked off the list so the next band has one less song to choose from. I wasn't sure how well the concept would work (and still suspect that it will post dimishing returns as the list dwindles) but the first installment is good fun. Ted Leo and the Pharmascists do service to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World":

Indie is the old 'Alternative'

After reading a Why We Fight on pitchfork (a discussion on approach to merits of music, fucking awesome) i was rubbed once again with the idea that the nomenclature of "Indie" is applied to everything now that isn't Beyonce.

While nitpicking genres used to be relegated for Sam Goody arguments as to whether NIN was stacked in the Rock or Heavy Metal section, Independent music doesn't leave much room for iffy-ness........

At most, small label. Independent label. Non-corporate label. At worst, unsigned band you dug enough to hope you could hate them later once everyone found out about them a year later (haterish bitches).

Still, anything not immediately played on radio is Indie now and wondering why. Labels are labels, easy outs the same. But the descriptor is less a vague feeling of the music and more an actual status, so I'm continuously confused.

Doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme, hadn't ranted in a while, but wtf?

Also read that article and anticipate more. I miss legit music arguments.


This made me smile

You Know What Month It Is...


...so where you at?





PC Computers Bring Next Level Shit



The amount Die Antwoord will appeal to is directly proportional to how seriously you choose to take them. I, for one, am taking it seriously. You learn something new every day, and today i learned that Afrikaaners have there own version of white trash, "Zef," and that this is how they get down.
