As Tall As Lions: You Can’t Take It With You (Review)

As Tall As Lions

You Can't Take It With You

Released by Triple Crown Recordings


Making a record isn’t supposed to be easy, but listening to As Tall As Lions’ You Can’t Take it With You, with its dreamy sound, you might be surprised to find out that the album nearly ruined the New York-based quartet. This third album was two years in the pipeline as the follow-up to their self-titled 2006 album. From all the drama and dire days of changing producers midstream, the friends since high school travailed at the brink of combustion to bring out the heart and heat of this project. Dan ...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs ‘Snakesweat’ (Video)

This short film from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and directed by Karen O and Barney Clay (also responsible for the “Zero” video), is purely ridiculous. It’s borderline–heck, it is–freaky, and to me, the imagery reminds me of Fellini’s La Strada and the life of a circus couple. Overall though, I love that the YYYs do their own thing and their work always stands out as unique amongst the millions of videos dropping each week. “Snakesweat” is a surrealist picture of their alter-egos (the Black Widow, the Philosopher, and the Scientist) trying to reclaim the universe.

NSFW:Vintage Diplo EPK (Video)

Tags: , , , , , ,

Long ago, Diplo was just like the millions of DJs who now follow him, eager to show off his beats and let the world know who he was. In this video, he runs around like a little kid showing off his Casio, street team posters, and promoting his LP “Florida”. It’s a nice reminder that everybody starts somewhere, and where you go from there is up to you. There is also footage of Diplo DJing one of the funniest school dances I have ever seen.
