Been a little distracted churning out bloggable content for Bullett these days to pay as much attention to you guys as I know you need. I don't want you to think that I don't love you, it's just that you people don't pay me for shit. Check out all the awesome jokes I've been using on my other internet girlfriend while you weren't looking. It's nothing person I promise. I know it won't make sense right now, but I'm still your friend (via Robyn).
Worst Job in the World Alert: Courtney Love’s Assistant
Whenever you start to get down in the dumps about whatever your miserable soul-sucking job is, remember, it could always be worse. Compared to, say, a drug smuggler, or elephant handler, or expendable evil henchman, shoveling bloggable content onto the internet day after day doesn’t seem so bad. It reminds me of that old Norm Macdonald bit from SNL years ago. “A US News And World report for best and worst jobs is out…in the worst jobs category, crack whore has lost it’s spot. The new worst job is assistant crack whore.”...more
Justice Invent Greatest Sport Ever in Futuristic New Video
Justice’s last album Audio, Video, Disco was unique and energetic and prog-influenced and bla bla bla who cares because this new video for the song “New Lands” is just… wow. Together with directors, the Spanish collective Canada, (which would probably be easy to confuse with the Canadian collective Spain that I’m assuming exists), they’ve invented the greatest new sporting spectacle of the future....more
Walter White vs. Batman. Who You Got?
The thought process for every one of the millions of wacky mashups that comes down the tubes is pretty standard. “Ha, that seems clever. I mean, not enough that I want to watch a whole thing.” Then you start pretending to work for a minute. “Eh, I guess I’ll watch it, it’s better than working.”...more
Three New Songs from Sea Wolf, M.I.A., and Teengirl Fantasy Tailored to Your Mood
First impressions in music, just like other things that actually matter in real life, are everything. Depending on your mood, a new song can either hit you perfectly at the right moment and become your total jam, or just get on your nerves and you never want to hang out with it again. On a sort of related note, when you listen to too much music, you start to think of songs as people, but that’s a whole other thing. Here are three new songs this week that we’ve tailored to your hypothetical mindset.
New Bloc Party Song Band’s Best In Years
Something strange happened with the UK disco-punk band Bloc Party over the years. After releasing one of the most exciting records of the decade in their 2005 debut Silent Alarm, they promptly took a nose dive into the shitter – sorry, bogs I think they call it over there. Ever since then new music from the band has just made us want to go back and listen to the first album. Seriously, remember ? Total jam....more
Three Things to do While Listening to Ariel Pink’s New Dream-like Track
Mature Themes, the upcoming record from washed-out/beach-wave/lo-fi/chill-core outfit Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti isn’t out until August 21, but the band previewed one of the tracks today on KCRW’s tastemaking Morning Becomes Eclectic show. “Only In My Dreams” is a pretty little whisper of jangly ’60s guitars and sunny harmonies cut through with a wistful sense of melancholy; there is nothing in the world sadder than waking up from an idyllic revel, only to realize it was all a dream and that you have to go about the business of hauling your rapidly decaying meat into the real world....
Watch The League’s Jon Lajoie in a Hilarious and Depressing New Video
But in this hilarious new video, “Completely Honest Commercial,” Lajoie takes it to the next level, saying things that a lot of us supposedly think to ourselves, but never say out loud: “When I see a midget on the street I don’t laugh. Out loud. Because you’re not allowed to do that. But holy shit am I laughing on the inside. It’s a little midget!”...more
Gorgeous Ellie Goulding Covers Active Child’s Gorgeous “Hanging On” Gorgeously
This cover captures the song’s brokenhearted affect, but brings it somewhat back down to earth; you can tell she’s singing about a dude, in other words, whereas with the original, it sounds like homeboy is breaking up with the moon and stars. Trigger warning for vague dubstep damage, and a somewhat superfluous verse from Tinie Tempah...more
I Was Totally Destroying It Only Kind of Destroying It on New Single
Everything must be destroyed these days. Everyone is KILLING IT. That band last night DESTROYED IT. This DJ right now is FUCKING SLAYING. That’s why we love the moniker of the Chapel Hill act, I Was Totally Destroying It. It’s ironic enough to make us laugh, but also a nice bit of self-fulfilling prophecy...more
