VIDEO: MGMT – FLASH DELIRIUM

MGMT has one of my favorite albums at the moment, Congratulations. If you haven’t checked it out yet I suggest you do yourself a favor! The video for Flash Delirium isn’t an Electric Feel type of vibe, but then again it shouldn’t be. Evolution, isn’t that why we support the artists?

FRANCIS AND THE LIGHTS

The music world is gradually starting to fixate on Francis and the Lights. Though Francis Farewell Starlite’s precise vocals and electric sound is undeniable, there is still an element of mystery looming around him like a force field. Clad in a black ensemble and his signature coif, Francis sat quietly backstage at Manhattan’s Santos Party House. His piercing eyes panned across the room as he reflected on the seemingly accelerated journey of his group. Befitting to the notion that entertainers come alive when they perform, Francis radiated as he glided across the stage with agility. In that moment, audience members were transformed into magnets. Blind I was fortunate enough to catch up with him before the raucous crowd indulged in their energetic set.

Interview after the jump.

VIDEO: MAGIC WANDS – WARRIOR

A joint from a group called Magic Wands…in the vein of a Justice/MGMT vibe. I like the song and the video is funny on some Thundercats on Ecstasy shit. Check out their Myspace though, they’ve got some good songs.

MGMT – METANOIA EP

Boy they bout freaky as hell, but MGMT keeps on bringing heat. The Metanoia EP (click HERE to download) is one track, 13-minutes long. A fairly literal approach to the recent conversations I’ve ben having with others about the epic Resurgence Of The Single. The Beatles did this back in the day and defied what the concept of a single was supposed to be by recording Hey Jude at 7 minutes when everyone else’s singles were 3. Anyone with a good ear see a strong musical resemblance to Queen?

NEW SCHITT (DOWNLOADS AND SCHITT)

We know it’s tempting to take and not ask any questions, but think about this. If a crackhead can pay for crack, why can’t you pay for proverbial crack? We’re gonna hit you with consistent shit, but please, don’t come here and expect to get the new Lil Boosie album or any shit like that. That’s just not our steez. But on the flipside, it would be silly for us to fuck around on the artists we love and post their entire jawns for free too. So we’ll hit you with crack, archival shit, new singles, fresh finds and the like, but don’t expect full joints like that. It’s just not sensible. Now the messageboard and the email lists….well, that’s a different story. You just gotta gain access to those, and who KNOWS what you’ll get But on to the dope shit after the jump…
