Holy Ghost! Cover Ministry In Rad Video With John Hodgman, Nancy Whang & Juan Maclean (Video)

Holy Ghost! seem to have made a habit out of creating hommages to their favorite childhood memories. Last year’s “I Will Come Back” was a pitch-perfect rendition of New Order’s “Confusion” video, complete with guest spot by legendary electro producer Arthur Baker reprising his roll from the original clip. The duo’s latest, “I Wanted To Tell Her,” is a cover of ’80s-era Ministry (before they went industrial) and features not only DFA colleagues Juan Maclean and Nancy Whang, but comic relief from John Hodgman, in a video that recreates the BMX-prom scene from ’80s cult classic Rad.

The Juan Maclean :: “Find A Way”

Find A Way features new, old and remixed tunes that showcase all sides of Juan’s sound.

Watch The Final LCD Soundsystem Show (Video)

Silver, spaceships and sixteeth notes. 

LCD Soundsystem signed off last night with one final show at Madison Square Garden. It was fitting that a band that so clearly defined the New York aesthetic for the past decade wrap it up at the venue most associated with the Big Apple. The entire show, all 3 1/2 hours of it, was streamed on Pitchfork, making the Saturday evening gig one of the closest things the music scene gets to a communial experience in this age of earbud isolation. We courage you to watch the whole excellent thing, but play close attention to the 30 minute segment that starts about 1:10:00 in, where the band plays much of James Murphy’s magnum opus 45:33, easily the finest piece of music ever constructed for a Nike promotion.

Joined by a silver-suited choir and horn secton and a bevy of …
