Get Stigmatized With David Bowie’s “Next Day” Video
David Bowie’s glorious, twisted video for “The Next Day” packs a whole lot of intense thematic content in a marathon time of under 3 minutes. There’s a violent priestly bordello, eyeballs on a plate, flagellation, stigmata fetishism, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman — all treacherously situated around the real star, Bowie as a Performing Prophet. Like [...]
Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic
Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic is a new short film from Red Bull Music Academy, one that charts the entire existence of the great New York label DFA, the independent record label and production team, launched in September 2001 by Mo’ Wax co-founder Tim Goldsworthy, musician James Murphy,and manager Jonathan Galkin.

NIN’s “Broken” Film Banned — Again
Twenty years ago, Nine Inch Nails teamed up with Throbbing Gristle/Coil great Peter Christopherson and made one of the most disturbing videos of all time, “Broken.” Depicting suicide, execution and scenes of extreme snuff-style mutilation and torture, it was an button-pushing experiment in tolerance. Predictably, it was universally banned. Yesterday, somewhere near its 20th anniversary, [...]
Ear Candy: Thundercat – “Oh Sheit, It’s X”
Thundercat, one of the best bass players in the world and pride and joy of the Brainfeeder label, just wrapped up opening for labelmaster Flying Lotus’s sold-out Red Bull Music Academy-hosted run at Manhattan’s Terminal 5. Today, he releases a new song, the bombastically named “Oh Sheit, It’s X”. It’s funny, block party-ready, and most [...]
Breaking the Sound Barrier: Savages – “Shut Up”
While the Metropolitan Museum of Art tackles a gentrified idea of “punk” in theory tonight, a ferocious all-female band from London is putting it in action. “When you’re focused, you’re harder to reach. When you’re distractable, you’re available,” frontwoman Jenny Beth snarls in “Shut Up’s” prelude. The band has already drawn significant comparisons to Siouxsie [...]
Video: The National Play Logic-Defying Six Hour Gig At MoMA PS1
The National played their song “Sorrow” 105 times yesterday at MoMA PS1′s “Summer Sessions” — the sort of patience-trying stunt only a truly hardcore (or masochistic) fan could endure. With bands like The Knife and SAVAGES demanding their audience sacrifice their chronically deficient attention spans and give themselves over to the immersive musical experience, this [...]
