Music of the Moment - May 10, 2010

New video from one of my favorite bands/albums of 2009. The Flaming Lips dropped Ebryonic last year and I've been bumping it ever since. I'm still waiting on the video for Worm Mountain with MGMT but this will do for the time being.

Music of the Moment - November 17, 2009

I wish I'd heard about the Flaming Lips years ago but I gotta cop another Late Pass. The band has been together since 1983 but I pretty much ignored the mass majority of their music until I heard their new song Watching the Planets from their latest album Embryonic. I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a little different, but it's still dope. Especially the drums. Check it out:

[Note: WHATEVER YOU DO...don't Google the video for this song. Just don't. Take my word for it. Seriously. Dope song, bad video. You've been warned.]

Music of the Moment - October 21, 2009

This is probably the most strange band I've ever posted on here but I still gotta take another Late Pass. Australian band Empire of the Sun has been around since 2007 and I'm just now hearing their music. Damn shame. My boys @MrDuckworth87 and Web put me onto them a couple days ago while we were filming some scenes for their new movie and the first thing they told me was that the band was really, um....eccentric. I was pretty skeptical after seeing the cover art for their album. [Yea, it looks like Star Wars meets Chronicles of Narnia, but the music is dope.] They sound a lot like one of my favorite bands, MGMT, with similar vocals but pretty different music. They're kind of like Animal Collective...but even MORE strange. I wanted to post their video for Walking on a Dream but it was even more fucking weird than this one. At least check out the video for We Are the People, it's weird but you should like it. If you don't, I can understand.
Not too bad.

I hope.

2 Dope Songs, 2 WEIRD Videos

I love new music as much as the next guy but there's just something really weird about these two videos. I mean, the songs are pretty dope but the videos are just strange. One of the two is obviously worse that the other but still. What do you think??
His Orchestra - Black Coffin
[Note: I played the cello as a kid and that see-through joint at 0:19 is ill.]

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks [This one is weird.]

This is proof that I'm in desperate need of some new hip hop.
New Ghostdini shit coming soon...

Music [Video] of the Moment - August 20, 2009

New Jay-Z video, people. Nothing epic but it's yet another reminder that Blueprint 3 is on the way. Yeezy's on the joint and so is Rihanna. The song is dope but the video is on some other shit. It's kinda like Big Pimpin meets Mad Max Thunderdome...idk.
[Note: It kind of reminds me of this joint.]

[Note 2: Sorry about the watermark on the video. Hopefully I can find one without it before YouTube takes em all down. Ow.]

[Note 3: YouTube took it down.]
