Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Each week we try to start off the proceedings with a bit of weirdness that we think will wipe your brain and get you ready for the grind that is to come. This week, the line between nightmare and deeply wished for dream gets crossed by musician Jay Reatard in his new music video for "It Ain't Gonna Save Me," from his album Watch Me Fall. Why do I say this? Because most of the people I know probably would have loved to have their kids party go apeshit with a werewolf, water balloons, and ripping the arm off a walkaround character. And kung fu vs. a clown? Nobody hasn't devoutly wished for that. Nobody. Direct link for the feedreaders. Never heard of this guy before but now I've got to go grab some of his other stuff. Thanks to Kindertrauma for the headsup. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Because you really should start the week off with something odd--a magnet to pass over the hard drive of your mind. It will make the week go down smoother, just trust us. Speaking of smooth, here's Faith No More with a special cover version of a Nestle's commercial. Seriously. Direct link for the feedreaders. And since we can, another nice and smooth cover after the break. Categorized as: Music

Comments on this: 4 so far. Add your own. It's everyone's favorite podcasters from Ireland named Aaron Poole and Brian "El Phitzy" Fitzpatrick...Aaron Poole and Brian "El Phitzy" Fitzpatrick. Together, they become the equivalent of Mecha-Shiva and do battle with the hip-hop genre. The result? Well, see for yourself...  Myko Slim Myko Slim feat Yung Joc – "Give It 2 U": Phitzy: Tracks like this are a dime a dozen. Watch MTV Base for more than an hour and no doubt you'll hear at least five tracks that are indistinguishable from Mr. Slim's recent effort. Its particular subject matter and sound make it more RnB than hip-hop, but hey, who's splitting hairs? If I was cutting up a rug of a Saturday night, pissed as a fart and in the mood to show off my shoddy robot skills, I'd bop to it like there was no tomorrow. I guess that counts for something. Domo Arigato, Mr. Myko. Aaron: It's got a good beat, I'd dance to it. But there is nothing distinguishing this from anything else. I guess that was the point though. They obviously wanted to make a song that could be slipped into a DJ's setlist without causing alarm to anyone. However it can also be easily ignored for the exact same reasons and I suggest that's what you should do here. Categorized as: Music and Reviews

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Every Monday we try to give you something to shave the hair off your brain you can start the week afresh and ready for more insanity. Here we have a counter to anyone who ever said that it was the advent of music videos that corrupted youth. I don't ever remember seeing this on MTV: a band miming the playing of their instruments while the host of the show indulged his weird masochistic and trampling fantasies with a bunch of pretty girls.

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. It's hard for me to get my head around this, so I'm just going to lay it out for you like this...with a question. What happens when veterans of the much-beloved 2 Skinnee Js join forces with a Bee Gees metal tribute band (named Tragedy) to pay tribute to Michael Jackson? See what I mean? The brain just sort of...shuts down and slumps to one side when faced with such a question. But it's not rhetorical. The answer is: Dangerous... the All-Metal Michael Jackson Tribute Band. Here, an audience vid. Not the best quality, but it will definitely get the point across. Direct link for the feedreaders. You can get more info and find show dates on their MySpace page. You can also hear their cover of "Thriller" there. It's metaltastic. (And here's their Facebook.) Categorized as: Music
