Control @ Avalon presents Major Lazer with Them Jeans on September 9th. dragons, ballerinas, mohawks, dudes jumping off ladders (literally) onto gurlz that are booty bounc’n, and all to the impeccable spinning of Switch and Diplo. trust me children of Los Angeles, you do NOT want to miss this show. three thumbs up from j.satan. get your tickets here.
i’m somewhat disappointed in Crystal Castle’s new album as a whole… it suffers from 2010’s most rampant disease in the hipster swine community (no, not herpes), MGMT-itis, a distinct and significant lack of anything catchy. Alice Glass is cute and all, but i feel pretty much the same way about this video. (Hipster Runoff’s aka indie rock’s Perez Hilton has an amusing breakdown of it here, and this little treatise on trying to maintain non-sell-out-status in a self-marketing world is spot on.) C.C. is playing smell-A August 7th for Hard fest, tix are only sixty bucks, and with a killa lineup including Tiga, Soulwax, Green Velvet, Major Lazer, and Diplo, it’s likely to sell the fuck out (NOT LIKE CRYSTAL CASTLES though!!! they keep it REAL!!!) so get your tix here and get ‘em fast.
Faith No More!!! fuck yes fuck yes fuck yes!!! they’re going to have trouble selling Saturday, but otherwise, hellz to the yeah, Coachella! break out the drugs, party people. jesus satan will see you in April. tickets go on sale Friday, Jan 22nd at 10am via Ticketmaster and the Coachella site.
here is the annual fake Coachella lineup for 2010 (thanks Los Anjealous). jesus satan will shit his pants if Faith No More is there, and i’m guessing that a lot of these other bands are actually pretty solid bets. The xx, Major Lazer, and Vampire Weekend are all a given. Public Image Ltd is a good possibility, as is Devo, The Antlers, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Imogen Heap and La Roux. i also wouldn’t be surprised about LCD Soundsystem and Massive Attack, both have new albums coming out this year - R.I.P.

Wolverine could hardly have been any worse, they should have shot it this way. here’s a collection of abandoned MTV Movie Awards promos from Fatal Farm, the weirdos behind the last couple Major Lazer videos. you can see more of their work on their YouTube Channel here, including some frankly disturbing remakes of classic TV credit sequences, including, for instance, a kiddie-porn bondage version of Duck Tales. yes, you read that right.
