Wreck The Tape Deck

Massive Attack has been one of my favs since Protection came out in the early nineties, and while Heligoland is by far their weakest album, their weakest album is still better than most other bands’ strongest. this is the new video/film for Saturday Come Slow with Blur/Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn. it’s an incredibly ballsy move to run something like this as your slick new promotional tool, and i think it’s an incredibly effective piece. (no bullshit, jesus satan went to jail a few weeks back (don’t drink and drive, kids), and they pulled a lot of the same ridiculous shit. i can’t imagine having to spend months and even years of your life under those kinds of conditions, no matter what the crime.) check out some of the other progressive videos from Heligoland here. i wholeheartedly recommend the NSFW film for Paradise Circus with Georgina Spelvin of The Devil In Miss Jones fame. Massive is also playing two shows at the Wiltern on May 18th and 19th (tickets here), which i also wholeheartedly recommend. their live shows are beautiful, sophisticated pieces of collaborative art. more from their blog about the video for Saturday Come Slow and Music Against Torture after the jump.

sadly Sebastien Tellier’s show at Knitting Factory last year was probably the worst i saw in 2009, but as you can see by this ass-tastic new video, it might have been because my expectations were so incredibly high. you can download the video from Record Makers here, and for more videos for Air and others by directors/animators Petra Mrzyk and Jean-Francois Moriceau, check out this link.

i can’t tell you how impressed i am with the upcoming album by jónsi. it’s like hearing Sigur Rós all over again for the very first time, only upbeat and full of life and a bunch of lame shit like that. he’s just announced his 2010 US tour, and he hits Cali a couple other times in Berkeley and San Fran. check out the full schedule at his site here. more importantly, you’ll notice his name on the updated Coachella flyer right next to De La Soul on Sunday’s schedule. Sigur Rós’ debut at Coachella way back when was utterly disastrous, but it’s good to see that they’ve since made amends. also, Definition: Hopelandic: A made-up language consisting of gibberish words. shit, turns out we’ve been using Hopelandic here on WTTD for more than a year now.
