It’s Halloween and I’m all “Season of the Witch”-ed out over here, so Monday Magick is taking this week off. We should be back with another entry of our magickal musical feature next week.
Month: October 2016
‘The Alchemist Cookbook’ Official Trailer (Video)
If you only see two American indie features co-starring Satan this year… One should obviously be ‘The VVitch’. The other almost certainly will turn out to be ‘The Alchemist Cookbook’. Seriously, this looks absolutely in-fucking-credible! The Joel Potrykus directed film starring Ty Hickson is out this week via Oscilloscope Laboratories.[…]
Monday Magick: Pesky Gee! – Season of the Witch (Video)
This week we round out what could potentially be our last October’s worth of “Season of the Witch” covers here on Monday Magick with a rare take featuring a female vocal! Said vocal comes courtesy of Kay Garrett, and it graces a Bluesy, eight-plus-minute version of the cut by[…]
Danny Brown – Pneumonia (Video)
There is no vaccination for the sickness that is “Pneumonia”, the ill new single from Detroit native son Danny Brown. The video mixes crazy BDSM-style suspension with political imagery and further cements Brown as one of the tue heirs to the throne of crazy wisdom once occupied by Ol’ Dirty[…]
Lance Skiiwalker – Lover’s Lane (Video)
Top Dawg Entertainment’s resident weirdo crooner Lance Skiiwalker continues to make what can only be described as “R&B for creeps” with his newest single and video “Lover’s Lane”. “Lover’s Lane” is from Skiiwalker’s debut release ‘Introverted Intuition’, which is out on all the usual digital platform as of this morning.[…]
Monday Magick: Teegarden & Van Winkle – Season of the Witch (Video)
When I instituted the annual month-long celebration of “Season of Witch” here on Monday Magick a few years back it was intended to unearth radical re-imaginings of the Donovan tune. Covers that turn the classic on its head, or bring something new and different to the composition. And while some of the covers[…]
Bunny Michael – 888 (Video)
Art-Rap high-priestess Bunny Michael is back from her spoken word excursion as Khum Princess. She’s dropping that real, raw, bass heavy bruja shit on her new single “888”. And it comes complete with an accompanying video that finds her and her crew representing for new millennia Shamanic sex magick like[…]
Prayers – Mexica (Video)
In honor of Indigenous People’s Day San Diego bred Cholo-Goth duo Prayers teamed up with producer Shlohmo for a blistering anti-colonialist anthem called “Mexica”! “Mexica” is from a forthcoming EP titled ‘Baptism of Thieves’. No release date has been announced. Prayers
Jamie xx – Gosh (Video)
No, it’s not the newest single from Brother Ali…But it is some sort of albino dystopia being depicted in the Romain Gavras directed video clip for “Gosh”, the basss-droppin’-est track from Jamie xx’s ‘In Colour’ LP! ‘In Colour’, the second LP from the DJ, producer, and xx bandmember, has been[…]
Monday Magick: The Masked Marauders – Season of the Witch (Video)
Another Monday in October means another Monday Magick and another cover of Donovan’s psuedo-occult Psych-Folk chestnut “Season of the Witch” by another largely forgotten band. This week the honor falls to an outstanding take recorded by ’60s “supergroup” The Masked Marauders for their self-titled Warner Brothers Records debut. I put[…]
CLANDESTINE TRANSMISSION // Vol. 30, October 8th, 2016
After an extended hiatus due to “personal crises” El Keter and Emeyesi are back and bringing you the “sheMANigans” on a brand new episode of the CLANDESTINE TRANSMISSION! Expect some Lo-Fi sludge, some smooth Indie-Pop and Indie-Soul cuts, and an Alternative R&B jam or two, among other goodies! They also[…]
Monday Magick: Thackeray Rocke – Season of the Witch (Video)
If you’ve been reading Monday Magick for a while you know that every October, in honor of Halloween, I dedicate a month’s worth of posts to various cover versions of British Psych-Folk grandmaster Donovan’s classic composition “Season of the Witch”. The song has been covered quite a few times, in[…]
