Wreck The Tape Deck

it’s sad, but even as beautiful as this is, i just don’t have the patience for an eleven minute video anymore. people used to bitch about tv making everyone all ADD, but the internet has just KILLED it. music by Jacaszek (who all you New Yorkers just missed at the Unsound Festival), video directed by Marc Silver (who has a ton more videos on his site. Ageless Sex is particularly uplifting/disturbing).

There are no others there is only us from Michal Jacaszek on Vimeo.

I like The Very Best. I like them because their music is infectiously happy and it helps me through the frigid New York winters (waaaahhh I hate you LA). Here’s Very Best’s frontman Esau Mwamwaya with Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend doing “Warm Heart of Africa” and it looks like the two of them are having a blast poppin and lockin around the streets of NYC (is that canal street?). I smell a buddy-cop comedy in their future.

everyone is in the giving mood, even jesus santa, so here are a few links for some free, legal new music. click the images below. first we have a new Groove Armada ep at Toyota’s Music Myspace page.

next, the ever lovely Charlotte Gainsbourg is offering a free Nosaj Thing remix of her Beck-backed single Heaven Can Wait via her mailing list which you can sign up for here. you probably have to do this one fast. the email came in this morning.

and last but CERTAINLY not least, jesus satan favs The Antlers (who are hitting LA again as support for the Editors at the Wiltern in February 2010, tickets here) are offering an amazing and certified bootleg of their final show of the year at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC from NYCTAPER.

The Submarines‘ new video for Submarine Symphonika is so cute it makes me want to do something truly horrific just to even out the tao a little. director Josh Forbes also made the awesome video for Peace and Hate, and he has a ton more music videos available for your perusal at his Winch&Pulley site, including videos for Sea Wolf, Cold War Kids, Ariel Pink, Alkaline Trio, and a ton more. (this one for Trouble is a Friend from hipster cutie Lenka is pretty slick, although you might want to turn down the volume and just watch the illustrations. oooh, burn!)

here’s a slick new video from the amazing if somewhat bookwormish Passion Pit for the single To Kingdom Come. they’re hitting Los Angeles (kind of) December 12th at the Fox Theater in Pomona and tickets are still available right here. in early January they’re also playing three shows in New York at Terminal 5, although the first two nights are way sold out, so act fast and get your tickets for the tenth here. these guys are total, TOTAL dorks, but jesus satan has to admit that i wish i was as cool as them.

man, i want some cake! tonight Asthmatic Kitty Records indentured servants Jookabox are playing the Cake Shop in NY. the show is cheap as fuck at only $7, but mostly i’m posting about it because i really, REALLY miss Halloween, and this rad video is very Halloween-esque (that’s a fancy, big time-y way of saying “like”), and you all know how much i like to relive my youth (aka stay stuck in the past). you can’t get tickets in advance, which is the weirdest thing ever in the digital age, and that earns this show jesus satan’s hipster swine gold seal of disapproval.

new sort of Halloween-y video from Modeselektor, who are playing the Forum in Los Angeles at HARD Haunted Mansion on the second day of the festival (October 30th + October 31st – tickets are still available here). not an amazing lineup, but definitely good enough for ecstacy-lovers, with performances from Justice, Deadmau5, 2ManyDJs, A-Trak, Bloody Beetroots, Basement Jaxx, Crookers, Major Lazer, WTTD homeboy Steve Aoki, Classixx, and more.
New Yorkers, don’t feel all left out in the cold (even if you are, hee hee, ’cause we live in Los Angeles where even when it’s raining it’s hella comfortable) because Modeselektor has a headlining show all their own the following weekend at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (November 7th – tickets are available here.)

here’s a lovely new video of weirdness for the song “Sing Along” from goofball Icelandic troupe Múm. not sure what they’re smoking up there what with Bjork and Sigur Rós et al, but i wish they’d stop bogarting and send it down our way. that or they’re all just insane from spending so many long dark winters stuck inside with nothing to do but make emotional pop music.
Múm is playing New York on the 24th of October at the Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, 10012 – tickets here) and they stop by Los Angeles at the El Rey (5515 Wilshire Blvd, 90036) in June (tickets here). they’re fun live, should be a quirky good time for all, and this one gets a three thumbs up recommendation from j. satan.
