Insides, out on Domino, has been a much anticipated release by us here at KR, and it’s our pleasure to share a couple songs with you of more electronic genius (albeit very different) after that previous post on Tortoise. Pick up your copy now, and read what we wrote about Jon Hopkins when he dropped… Continue reading Jon Hopkins’ Insides officially set loose

New Man Man video: “Rabbit Habits” with Fred Armisen
Man Man’s Rabbit Habits came out a year ago today, so I guess to commemorate (??) the release or something, they released a video for the album’s title track. It stars SNL’s Fred Armisen and gets spooooky! Watch, if you daaaaare!! Man Man – “Rabbit Habits” [MP3]
New Silversun Pickups video: “Panic Switch”
Silversun Pickups are getting all MTV lately. So much so, in fact, that they debuted the video for their newest single, “Panic Switch,” on MTVU. Because those college kids high school kids love bands not on the regular MTV, so they’ll love whatever has “U” attached! That said, the video is pretty average/boring. “Then why… Continue reading New Silversun Pickups video: “Panic Switch”
New Lonely Island Video: “Like A Boss”
Looks like I missed this a couple days ago, but The Lonely Island premiered a video for Incredibad fave “Like A Boss” on SNL. It’s very much pretty good. I like it! To be fair, the song didn’t lend itself to a very creative video. You just get to actually see Andy do all the things… Continue reading New Lonely Island Video: “Like A Boss”
Rainbow Arabia video: “Omar K”
Remember when I said that music videos in 2009 are so good because maybe art does better in a recession blah blah? Well this new Rainbow Arabia video isn’t exactly what I meant, but it’s still really cool. Oh, also a little disturbing. But only a little. Join the party or die. Rainbow Arabia –… Continue reading Rainbow Arabia video: “Omar K”
About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region
I’ve received a lot of questions about my interview with After Last Season writer/director/producer Mark Region, so I guess I’ll do some verifying. (See the bizarre trailer here and the interview here). I found Mark Region’s phone number through a WhoIs search on the website for his production company, Index Square. Since the number was… Continue reading About my interview with After Last Season’s Mark Region
First Aid Kit back in the woods for “Our Own Pretty Ways”
In part two of a three-part series (see part one), First Aid Kit released a video for “Our Own Pretty Ways” from Drunken Trees, their debut EP. The video is again shot in the forest with sweaters cold and breath and stuff. It’s like The Blair Witch Project, only no raping killing making kids stand… Continue reading First Aid Kit back in the woods for “Our Own Pretty Ways”
New Black Lips Video: I’ll Be With You
I love this new video for Black Lips’ “I’ll Be With You” not just because I love Christmas and hate clowns, but also because I love all things that simultaneously remind me of The Sonics and The Wonder Years. The song is off their latest album, 200 Million Thousand, which is out now on Vice. The… Continue reading New Black Lips Video: I’ll Be With You
Kidz Bop sings Pink’s “So What” because it’s super family-friendly
Ever since Kidz Bop first came out, I’ve been waiting for them to record a kids’ version of a really inappropriate song that the executives at whatever awful company don’t realize is inappropriate. Pink’s “So What” isn’t quite what I wanted, but it’ll do, it’ll do… My favorite part about this is that the video… Continue reading Kidz Bop sings Pink’s “So What” because it’s super family-friendly
New Panda Bear video: “Take Pills”
Do you like art? Because I like art! I like going to modern art museums and looking at abstract sculptures (Baltimore’s “Light Yellow Chromium Plank” anyone?). But Panda Bear’s new video for the appropriately titled “Take Pills” is a even little much for me. The colors! The shapes! The backwards talking and the grasshoppers on… Continue reading New Panda Bear video: “Take Pills”
