It shouldn’t come as a surprise to regular readers of this website to see me admit that my infrequently updated Monday Magick columns are often a laboratory for my own personal brand of high weirdness in one way or another. Weird music. Weird musicians. Weird musings on unquestionably weird subject matter.[…]
I’ve been following Los Angeles based Satanic Doo-Wop duo Twin Temple on Instagram for some time now. They kinda blew me away earlier this year when they dropped “Lucifer, My Love” as a special Valentines Day present via their Soundcloud page. But their new, very NSFW, video for the song[…]
My. Body. Is. Ready. I’m a big fan of the CW’s ‘Riverdale’, which I liken to ‘Twin Peaks’ meets ‘The O.C.’. and I am so there for Netflix’s foray into the Archie Comics-verse with the ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’. The show, from the same people responsible for ‘Riverdale’, hits the[…]
I don’t want to spoil the twist in the breathtaking video for George “joji” Miller’s new single “Slow Dancing in the Dark” but just let me say it’s a sublime surprise that falls right in line with the dark and bloody but whimsically beautiful imagery that has become a hallmark[…]
Archy “King Krule” Marshall does what he does best—moody neo-noirish Alternative Pop that seems equally inspired by Hip-Hop, vintage Jazz, Post-Punk, and Shoegaze—on his newest single “Biscuit Town”. The video, which finds him inhabiting the grim environs of a darkly surreal diorama model of a retro-futuristic dystopian city with decidedly[…]
It’s been kicking around YouTube for a few months and I’m only just now sharing it, but Japanese-American singer/singwriter Mitski’s depressive Emo-Disco thumper “Nobody” is one of my favorite records of the Summer. If I’m being perfectly frank, one of the reasons I post so infrequently these days is severe[…]
I don’t know what fashion designer and Beatle-spawn Stella McCartney has to do with this video profile of furniture maker, musician, artist, writer, director, philosopher, and magician David Lynch, but her name is on it for some reason. From what I can tell it was actually put together by Lynch’s[…]
It’s already a viral hit so I don’t feel like I’m telling you about anything you didn’t already know when I say Los Angeles based singer, rapper, and producer Dumisani “Doja Cat” Dlamini’s “Mooo!” is the song of the Summer. The production, comprised of a jazzy sample flittering over Bounce-inspired drum[…]
Kālī is a Tantric Goddess of creation, destruction, love, sex, life, and death. Kali Uchis’ newest video is for a stripped down harp and keyboard backed version of her tune “Dead to Me”. It’s super sexy but totally about wishing someone dead. That’s motherfucking Tantra. “Dead to Me” is from[…]
Oh. My. Fuck. This looks pretty incredible. Writer/director Sam Levinson appears to be updating the blood-soaked template for darkly humorous socio-political satire Paul Verhoeven was using circa ‘Robocop’ and ‘Starship Troopers’ for the post-internet generation in his new film ‘Assassination Nation’. It looks dark, funny, sharp, and very gory, and[…]
I loved the shit out of “I Love LA”, a slice of scummy retro Glam-Rock, when youthful Los Angeles based quartet Starcrawler dropped it late last year. They’re back, and still mining ’70s sleaze, both musically and visually, with a new single and video titled “Chicken Woman”. The song brings[…]
Wait…what? It’s ‘MANDY’, the second film from Panos Cosmatos, the director of ‘Beyond the Black Rainbow’. It’s about a cult and a “phantasmagoric journey” of “bloody vengeance”. It stars Nic Cage and Bill motherfucking Duke. And it’s in theatres September 14th from RJLE Films. It doesn’t have a fucking website.
