Random Music Monday
Holy shit, what a rough week. Let’s try and distract ourselves with some tunes.
clipping – Blood of the Fang
Considering this week – and honestly, the last few years, decades, century – this feels like an ironically dark and appropriate opening gambit. I mean, the “Hands up don’t shoot” line is the first honestly chilling moment, and the second is the repeated line “They still shooting”. Yeah, they are. And Diggs’ flow could kill us all, but so far he hasn’t weaponized it. yet.
Police Teeth – Send More Cops
Can an ipod weaponize sass? Because, wow, coming after Blood of the Fang? For those not in the know, the line “Send more cops” is from the horror movie Return of the Living Dead. It’s a zombie movie, and a zombie says that into a radio. Because they just killed everyone on site, and they’re still hungry. It’s a lunch order. And they say ’80’s satire no longer plays?
Kanga – Godless
I guess this is our palette cleanser. Also, I had no idea people still made videos like this.
The Real Tuesday Weld – Bathtime in Clerkenwell
Everybody has that song you’re not a hundred percent sure how it ended up on your ipod, right? So this is mine. A musical ghost haunting a crumbling empire. Also my ipod.
The Armed – An Iteration
If I don’t have a song that sounds something like this, I fear people who know me will think there’s something wrong with me.
Feminazgul – In The Darkness Bind Them
A rare quieter instrumental track from this otherwise hard death metal band. And if you don’t believe me on that, click through their other videos on YouTube.
September Girls – Green Eyed
An all girl rock band from Dublin! Kind of cool.
Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou – Hollywood
Alt folkie Emma teams up with death metallers Thou, and it sounds really good? Who would have guessed?
Ed Balloon – Fiend
Let’s end on a visit to the strange side of my ipod, this time courtesy of Ed Balloon. And no, my ipod isn’t all strange. Just a lot strange.
