PEEP SHOW: Watch Daedelus’ New “Stampede Me” Video, Starring the Most Depressing 3-D Ninja Ever
May 4, 2010
[Photo by Robert Lopez] We’ve always considered Daedelus the clown prince of L.A.’s beat conductor scene, a modern day dandy who sees nothing run with dropping a dusty old 78 right in the middle of one of his genre-less records. With that in mind, the following head trip–directed by relative newcomer Chris Shen–is a bit […]
I WAS A DEADHEAD ONCE: In Celebration of Their New ‘Holy Ground’ LP, Mono’s Lead Guitarist Lists His Favorite Live Albums
May 3, 2010
Hey, remember when we taped Mono wailing away at a Wordless Music show at the NY Society For Ethical Culture? Well that very show was recently pressed to a CD/DVD package and a limited triple LP. (Or if you hate physical products, there’s always the MP3 version.) Needless to say, Holy Ground looks and sounds […]

May 3, 2010
Photo by Andrew Parks Now here’s a video treatment we hadn’t thought of: a VSFW (Very Safe For Work) Class Actress clip that reminds us of Christmas morning and brutal games of Backgammon. Check it out after the jump along with tour dates and Elizabeth Harper’s femme fatale side.
MICROWAVE ONLY: Wondering What Death By Audio Has To Do With a Bunch of Jim Henson Rejects and John Lithgow’s Son
May 3, 2010
Photos by Turkishomework Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. Sometimes that means seeing a simple show, and sometimes that means catching John Lithgow’s son (bassist Nate Lithgow of local buzz band ArpLine) and a pack of mask-toting crazy kids (the Nuclear Power Pants collective) in Brooklyn.
PEEP SHOW: LIARS, “THE OVERACHIEVER”
April 30, 2010
Photo by Alexander Wagner If there’s one thing we learn from the self-titled cover stars’ newest video, it’s to never borrow eggs from your yuppie neighbor. “The Overachiever” clip below was directed by Liars’ very own renaissance man Aaron Hemphill and, sure, it’s super low-budge, but then again who needs big bucks to make a […]
DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: LAUREL HALO, “METAL CONFECTION”
April 30, 2010
Look, someone needs to acknowledge it–Brooklyn’s getting a bit weird. (Yes, even for Brooklyn.) Take Laurel Halo, an Ann Arbor transplant who recently made her King Felix EP available for free here. The standout track “Metal Confection” reminds us of Chairlift and spacey new-wave nods, with a soaring chorus that practically subjects us to zero […]
FROM THE STACKS: TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB
April 28, 2010
We get a lot of crap CDs at the self-titled offices. But once in a while, a pleasant surprise slips into our promo stack. Here’s a recent delivery that knocked the s/t staff on its collective ass.
