Why should you care about Duran Duran’s video for Girls on Film? It’s got pillow fights in see through negligee on top of a greased up candy cane and topless mud wrestling. For the ladies out there it’s got Duran Duran in it too.
Cannabis Corpse is a band that was born in the summer of 2006 as a way to express our love of smoking weed and listening to Cannibal Corpse.
The tunes for the first album “blunted at birth” were recorded in Weedgrinders kitchen on a boss br 900 digital 8-track while slowly smoking away huge chunks of memory with the finest bud in oregon hill. Read the rest of this entry »
If you do not know whoSpiritual Front are, I don’t want to know you. Truly these are finest songs to listen to as we commit suicide on the Las Vegas strip.
Has your cabaret-dancing paramour contracted a deadly case of Algiers Vapors? Have the Germans killed a lot of men in your family, lately? Maybe you’d like a little Babx. Just little, okay now? We don’t want you jumping off the Eiffel tower in all your glorious Gallic ennui.
Favorite pick: Favorites are such a bourgeois… oh, very well, listen to “Kamikaze”, if you must.
Today we take a look a band from my old stomping grounds, none other than the Minotaur-obsessed fitness enthusiasts of Benchpress 3000. Loud, fast, and sweaty, they were dressing in absurd late 70’s/early 80’s fitness garb long before it (once again) became fashionable.
Personal favorite: There is No Pain in Weight Gain, a rallying cry against muscle-building supplements. Put down that shake, eat a fucking steak, indeed.
Bain Wolfkind! What can be said about him? Due to my complete lack of research for this article, I’m going to say: He’s from Australia. Also, his music just happens to be fairly awesome, in a violence-laced blues/lounge sort of way. So go listen to it.
Personal favorite: Sailor’s Blood, a high-distortion blues tune of lust gone wrong and murder gone right.
Do you have a taste for electronic music that isn’t all beep-boop-beep-(is the amyl nitrate kicking in yet)-boop? Are you intrigued by the idea of a hot Mexican chica with a voice reminiscent of Nico? Want to know what it would be like to be sung to by a despondently sultry, hispanic computer?
Then turn your ear-holes to Veneno Para Las Hadas. (That’s “Poison for the Fairies”, for you monolinguistic readers.)
Personal favorite: “Jetlag”, a perfect little ditty for keeping yourself loose and limber as you drive way too fast down empty highways in the dead of night, itching for a fatal accident. As an added bonus, it’s in English!
Devo’s Beautiful World features Burlesque dancers, grenades, WWI German soldiers, riots, and a special cameo appearance by the KKK in a wonderful display of disdain for humanity.
Casale: “That’s a song that was written with the video in mind. The video idea preceded the song. We start off with silly imagery taken from archival film libraries of just stupid stuff – Americana pop culture stuff from the past and silly imagery of silly people, then slowly start warping it over darker and darker things – Ku Klux Klan race riots, war, suffering, atomic bomb, starvation. It transforms from one thing to another.”
