I was almost positive that I’d posted “Disco Devil”, Dub originator Lee “Scratch” Perry’s 1979 rework of the Max Romeo Reggae classic “I Chase the Devil”, as part of Monday Magick a long time ago. But as of this morning it’s not anywhere to be found on this website. I[…]
I kind of fronted on Kanye West’s most recent album ‘The Life of Pablo’. Maybe it was all the Gospel inspired tracks I heard the one time I tried to listen to it? Maybe it was the fact that he pulled a George Lucas with it and hasn’t offered a[…]
The always experimental Alternative artist Beck is back and kicking some “luminous moves” like only an Operating Thetan can on his booming new single “Wow”! It finds him dropping the bass real heavy, spitting the seemingly nonsensical rhymes that have long been his signature, and belting out some sweet Beach[…]
“I be on those chemicals… She be on my testicles… Poke her with my tentacle… Then put her on my schedule…” I’m a lazy fuck who hasn’t listened to anything but “Really Doe”, a brand new track from Detroit emcee Danny Brown featuring Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, and Earl Sweatshirt, all[…]
Midwestern purveyor of Wonky Beats LORN tones down the bass and turns up the chilly atmospheric sci-fi vibes on the soundtrack worthy instrumental “ANVIL”. He enlists directors Antoine Caëcke & Hélène Jeudy (a.k.a. Geriko) and animators Anthony Lejeune & Manddy Wyckens for the sort of ‘Heavy Metal’ by way of[…]
This week sucks and I really could give a fuck about anything right now. So no in-depth exegesis of deep occult secrets will be had in this week’s Monday Magick. No, instead you’re getting the laid back vamping of saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. on the Bob James-produced Jazz-Fusion classic “Mister[…]
Witchcraft is just a way of concentrating energy. You can only work with what’s already there. I just use sex magic to make love magic. No, that’s not a quote from one of my Monday Magick posts, it’s a line from writer/director Anna Biller’s new film ‘The Love Witch’. Set[…]
The word of The Law is Thelema. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of The Law. So say the lyrics of this week’s Monday Magick submission “Liber AL” by Italian Thelemic Neofolk act The Green Man from their 2009 debut LP ‘From Irem to Summerisle’. The lyrics, of[…]
Tracy R. Twyman, author of ‘Clock Shavings’ and ‘Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled’, delivers the first in what seems to be an intended series of videos detailing her research into the figure Baphomet that is so integral to several occult traditions, and the mythology surrounding the Knights Templar. In the[…]
UK Producer Mark Pritchard teams up with Thom Yorke, who adds his voice to this hauntingly beautiful track off of Pritchard’s album ‘Under The Sun’. The video is where it’s at though. Polish filmmaker Michał Marczak, who won a directing award at Sundance this year for his documentary ‘All These[…]
Brooklyn based Arena-Rock-tronica duo Sleigh Bells wants to smear your eye makeup with the emotional new video clip, which is simultaneously both bright and sunny and quite dark and gloomy, for their big, booming, bombastic anthem of a single “It’s Just Us Now”. “It’s Just Us Now” is from Sleigh[…]
Kevin Barnes improves his drag look about tenfold over what we saw in the “It’s Different for Girls” video in the new clip for of Montreal’s very modern, very clubby single “Let’s Relate”. “Let’s Relate” is from the Athens, Georgia based Indie-Pop act’s fourteenth studio album ‘Innocence Reaches’ which is[…]
