Scanned Pitchfork earlier today, found this awesome piece of news: of Montreal Get a Tour Documentary. of Montreal does some amazing things, so I am really stoked for this.
Here are some rad videos that may or may not have something to do with of Montreal:
Yesterday, a friend introduced me to the awesomeness of Danger. He also showed me these amazing teaser videos for his albums. They’ll totally remind you of old school arcade intros.
I am a huge Animal Collective fan! Which is why I am super excited about their new visual album, ODDSAC, that just premiered at Sundance. Check out the trailer for the film below.
As you can see from the trailer the film looks super experimental. It’s described as a visual album, so I am not sure if there will be a plot. Either way it’s Animal Collective, so it’s guaranteed to be packed full of eye candy and radical music.
Stones Throw knows how to do limited edition. Below is a video from the release party for Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 on vinyl. It’s a really rad and shows how each cover is unique.
I really wish that companies would do this more. I’m really tired of seeing something hyping itself up as limited edition, when it isn’t. They just added some extra tracks or a behind the scene feature, change the cover a lil’ bit, and make just as many copies as they did with the original. When I used to buy a ton of DVDs 95 percent of them said limited or special edition. In reality though there was nothing limited or special about it. How rad would unique a silk-screened DVD cover be? I think that’s why I like what Stones Throw did for the vinyl.
1,000 copies were made. Each one is hand numbered. Each one is unique. Vinyl collectors should really check it out. I’ve heard the album, trust me it’s good. I also should mention that this is the first in a twelve month series of records from Madlib. Can’t wait for next one.
Radical side note: The limited edition DVD of House of the Devil is coming out and it comes with VHS tape of the movie. This is also limited to 1,000 copies.
My shadow, hold me down for whatevah. Even if I tried my best I couldn’t run from my shadow. My shadow. My shadow. My shadow. My shadow. Shadow. Shadow. Shadow.
Free Gucci is my introduction to Gucci Maine. Here’s what I know: Gucci makes a zillion mixtapes a month, he probably made six while I wrote this post, and this mixtape is extra–extra dope. Free Gucci is presented by Diplo and it’s free. Download. Play. Repeat.
I know, I know I’m like a zillion months late on this band/track/music video, but who cares? “Lust For Life” by Girls is amazing. I read about the track everyday this past summer, but was too busy chillin’ in Chillsville, OR to ever give it a listen. I also always thought it was a cover of the Iggy Pop song. Check out the video for “Lust For Life” below.
There’s also a “Hardcore” version of the music video which is pretty cool. Both music videos are directed by Aaron Brown. Now that you have been blown away by two amazing video’s go check out Album. Stay carefree.
I’ve never been stoked on Podcasts before, but yesterday I discovered the Stones Throw Podcast. In fact it might be the first Podcast I’ve ever listened too.
Above is the cover for their latest Podcast, How Does The Room Feel About It?, which I believe is designed by Jeff Jank, Stones Throw’s Art Director. This Podcast is especially amazing! It’s created from Nite Jewel’s collection of old records. Really mellow, really awesome records. Nite Jewel has a record coming out on Stones Throw tentatively titled Nite-Funk.
I’ve also listened to a couple of their older Podcasts too and they’re also really rad. The two other ones I have listened to are: Minimal Wave, a collection of early D.I.Y. electronica from the Minimal Wave label mixed by Veronica Vasicka, and Thank You Jay Dee, Act 4, a collection of various J Dilla tracks mixed by J.Rocc.
Check the podcast out if you get a chance, there’s 54 of them so far. Also if you know of any other rad Podcasts let me know.
