Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz is back with a 360-degree interactive video, replete with Lovecraftian tentacle monsters, for their new Caribbean-spiced auto-tune Electro-Dancehall-Pop tune “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)”. “Saturnz Barz”, which features vocals from Popcaan, is the first single from the animated group’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Humanz’,[…]

SoKo – Sweet Sound of Ignorance (Video)
This is SO me right now. These adorably depressing “rainbow Goth Girl” visuals are for “Sweet Sound of Ignorance”, the languid new single from French Emo girl chanteuse Stéphanie “SoKo” Sokolinski. “Sweet Sound of Ignorance” is the first new music SoKo has released since her most recent album ‘My Dreams[…]
Monday Magick: Echo & the Bunnymen – The Killing Moon (Video)
With today’s post Monday Magick is officially back to semi-regularity! I am still feeling a little unsteady on my feet at this point. So despite last week’s rather hardcore vivisection of a seemingly innocuous entry I have every intention of taking it easy this week. I’m not gonna be going[…]
Monday Magick: Electric Wizard – Dunwich (Video)
After taking last week off Monday Magick is back and it’s darker, harder, and heavier than ever! How so, you may ask? Well, this week we’re featuring “Dunwich”, a decidedly sludgy bit of Lovecraftian Rock by British Stoner/Doom Metal quartet Electric Wizard from their 2007 LP ‘Witchcult Today’! Longtime readers[…]
Monday Magick: The Pretenders – Brass in Pocket (I’m Special) (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick is gonna be one of my patented re-interpretations of a seemingly innocuous and unmagickal song utilizing magickal thinking. The song in question is Alt-Pop chestnut “Brass in Pocket (I’m Special)” by British Rock outfit The Pretenders featuring Ohio-born songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Chrissie Hynde. Released in[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
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[…]
Panic! at the Disco – LA Devotee (Video)
Not a huge fan of Panic! at the Disco’s brand of Pop-Punk or the early 2000’s scene that spawned it. But I caught a video from a crazy YouTube conspiracy guy about the “Satanic” imagery and supposed “mind control” content in the clip for the Las Vegas bred band’s newest[…]
Sleigh Bells – It’s Just Us Now (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Pilot – Magic (Video)
I’m still getting back into the swing of things after our brief hiatus, so this week’s Monday Magic entry is something easy and not too deep that most readers should be familiar with. It’s “Magic”, a 1974 single by Scottish quartet Pilot that has been a staple of Classic Rock[…]
