Tijuana Panthers – “Cherry Street”

May 27, 2014

SoCal garage punk trio, Tijuana Panthers, have made quite the name for themselves since their 2010 inception by routinely delivering high-energy performances ranging from sold-out concert halls to drop ceiling basements shows. Their latest single, “Cherry Street,” off of the upcoming June release Wayne Interest (Innovative Leisure), is a testament to the band’s staying power, both as a group and in your ears. “Cherry Street,” sounds like a mix between melody friendly Thee Oh See’s with early Drums riffs. The video is even more grabbing, highlighting a homicide detective’s appetite for blood and donuts at some vague time period in the 1980s. Check it out below.

RiFF RAFF – “How To Be The Man”

May 21, 2014

It’s Versace season everybody! Fresh off the announcement that his long-delayed debut album, Neon Icon, will be dropping June 24th, Mad Decent rapper RiFF RAFF provided us with the visuals for “How To Be The Man.” RiFF first dropped this track about 5 months ago, and comparing the size of his dog (Jody Husky) in this video to recent pictures, it looks like this video was recorded a while back as well. Filled with ridiculous pop-up neon graphics, random celebrity shout-outs, and models wearing one-piece bathing suits, it is a uniquely RiFF RAFF experience.

Monty Python – “Lousy Song”

May 7, 2014

Today, Monty Python released “Lousy Song,” a previously unreleased collaboration between Eric Idle and the late, great Graham Chapman. The remaining members of the Python troupe (Idle, Cleese, Palin, Jones, Gilliam) are currently gearing up for live shows and hopefully a world tour as well as the release of Monty Python Sings (Again) June 9th, because there’s always something left in the vaults.   Thanks to NME for the tip.

Elton John and System of a Down – “Crocodile Chop”

May 2, 2014

This week, much like every other week in the 21st century, genius hit the internet with Neil Cicierega’s mismatched mashup titled “Crocodile Chop.” The reworked single is a blend of Elton John’s campy “Crocodile Rock” with System of a Down’s cringey “Chop Suey.” The video, for those of you who didn’t go to high school, consists of leadman Serj Tankian acting zaney  while sharing the stage with edgiest man/guitarist in 2002 Daron Malakian along with a backing by ultra-piano pop Elton Jon ivories. This has been stuck in my head for close to 24 hours so be careful with this one.

Damon Albarn – “Heavy Seas of Love”

April 22, 2014

Right now, for my money, the only track that comes close to The War on Drugs’ amazing “Red Eyes” single is “Heavy Seas of Love” from Blur frontman Damon Albarn. Taken from his forthcoming, and from the sounds of it, pretty incredible Everyday Robots LP (4/29), the track has one of those reach for the sky choruses that I love so much, along with additional vocals from Brian Eno. Earlier today, the song’s accompanying video, all shot via an iPad, was released. Its a sort of travelogue clip with slight touches of trippiness mixed in to make you wonder if its all just a dream. Keep an eye out for our upcoming review of Everyday Robots, and in the mean time, watch the video for “Heavy Seas of Love” below.

Honduras – “Ace”

April 9, 2014

Buzzing Brooklyn quartet, Honduras, released the video to their latest single, “Ace,” yesterday exclusively to Bullett Magazine. We don’t have that type of pull, so 21 hours later, we are more than happy to share this raucous new era punk track. The video for “Ace” starts with a horrible decision to eat Papaya Dog, followed by many more bad decisions like stealing a taxi cab and picking up fares on Bushwick side streets. There’s not a prime market for pick-ups in those areas, dawg.  Check out their video below.

Adanowsky – “Dancing to the Radio”

April 7, 2014

Adanowsky recently dropped last month the highly catchy single for his first album in English,  ADA. “Dancing to the Radio” has a knack for staying in your head. The song is part Falco/part Empire of the Sun/all JAM. If Holy Ghost took themselves less seriously and embraced glam-pop, this easily could be their next single. Check out the video plucked straight from the 80’s below.

Hamilton Leithauser – “11 O’Clock Friday Night”

April 3, 2014

Despite the Walkmen calling it quits, their former members have been keeping quite busy. Bass player Walter Martine appears to be releasing children’s music, albeit with some help from indie friends like Karen O. Organist Peter Matthew Bauer is prepping his solo LP, which if you have heard the song’s first single “Latin American Ficciones,” you may be wondering who the real secret weapon of the band is. And finally front man Hamilton Leithauser is putting together his own solo album, Black Hours, featuring contributions from Rotsam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, Richard Shift, former Walkmen bandmates, and many more. After releasing the very fun “Alexendra,” Leithauser dropped the video for another new track today, called “11 O’Clock Friday Night.” Ditching the slightly over-the-top feel of “Alexandra”  for a moodiness that made the Walkmen’s You and I so great, this track can be found on the forthcoming album Black Hours, set to[...]

Girl Talk and Freeway f/ Waka Flocka Flame: “Tolerated”

April 2, 2014

Ok, so technically the song and video came out on Monday, but I finally stopped shaking with excitement over it to have steady enough fingers to type about it today. Mind you, it’s not the best thing I’ve heard this week, but it is my most anticipated. The first teaser from the Broken Ankles EP that drops next week, this track will hold you over until April 8th when the full-length video and album are released. Full disclosure: I’m borderline obsessed with Girl Talk. Haters gon hate, but I think his baggy sweats/no shirt/dope hat and/or headband steez at shows is superfly. The Pittsburgh native has been churning out mixtapes for years, sampling everyone from Jay-Z to Bruce Springsteen on well-produced and well-acclaimed albums that are the lazy man’s dj at parties. Too lazy to make a playlist? No worries, because Gregg Gillis has you covered. Freeway, *not* to be confused with “Freeway” Rick Ross, though[...]
