While this song is uncomfortably close to mainstream for my circuit boards, this deconstructed remix by NYC incognitos Cereal Spiller is just off the beaten path enough to ensure safety. The real winner here, tho, is the animation created by UK-based (crazy) artist Cyriak Harris.
Sad, sad news today. French/Tunisian producer and DJ, Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, died last night, reportedly after the roof on his house gave way during a birthday party. Condolences to his wife, family and friends. If he was anything like his music and performances, he was a truly vibrant and gifted young man.
I interrupt your regularly scheduled whatever to bring you this uncut diamond from the London underground.
Factory Floor has future classic written all over them. Shows in NY and Philly in late September and early November.
So, I pretty much avoid big time acts and there are very few "modern" bands that make what I deem to be exceptionally rad music. LCD Soundsystem, however, is the king + queen of them all.
I created this stop-motion video as part of my graduate program thesis work. 100 hours of wood cutting and photographing. If you dig it, peep my process photos.
OK. So, pretend for a minute that lead singer Francis Foss DOESN'T look and sound like Dana Carvey taking the piss out of no wave bands.
In that hot minute, you will surely discover how rad this song is because you, after all, love les minijupes (miniskirts) as much as I do. And Korg MS-20s.
