Fascinating musical theory breakdown of the dubstep subgenre by one of the best in the genre. Love the dynamic typography too.

Trent Reznor And Karen O’s Cover Of Immigrant Song Is Cool
Apparently, this video also doubles as the title sequence for David Fincher’s upcoming film, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Kinda reminds you of the now classic title sequence for Se7en, huh?

I’m liking the driving, epic nature of this new Miike Snow single. Kinda makes me want to cut my own movie montage scene and set it to this song.

Deadmau5 Lights Up London Skyscraper For Nokia
– December 1, 2011Posted in: Music, Technology
Deadmau5′s got some of the best light show/visuals in the business with his “normal” set equipment. But projecting those visuals onto a London skyscraper? Hot damn.
The stunt was ostensibly for the release of Nokia’s new Lumia 800 phone, though calling it “4D” is a bit hokey. What, did that light travel across time? Nevertheless, that Lumia is still a mighty sexy phone and associating it with pretty colors and a popular DJ can’t do it any harm.

Show Report: Chromeo 11-17-11 @ The Wiltern, Los Angeles
– November 29, 2011Posted in: Music, Show Reports
One of the signs that you’ve made it as a live band is if the crowd has a custom chant for you as you take the stage or during the encore break. By that token, Chromeo has really made it, since the crowd at the Wiltern was already primed to let out a choral “CHRO-MEE-OH WHOAAAAAAAA OH” as soon as the lights dimmed. We came to the show to get our electro-disco inspired dance fix and we got what we came for, no more, no less.
There’s only so much a duo can do on stage musically and even backed up by three Rockette-like lady dancers/singers, Chromeo didn’t do much to distinguish their sound from their recordings. That’s not necessarily a knock on the band, as their recordings are very fun affairs, though it is noteworthy that the material from their latest album, Business Casual, sounded much more polished and alive. If your goal at the show was to get drunk, dance, and have a good time, you probably got your money’s worth. If you were looking for a dynamic stage presence or transcendant live music revelation, though, you’re going to to want to keep looking.

Business Insider Thoroughly Researches Musical Tastes
Ariel Sandler:
Sounds like Lions’ fans would prefer listening to the new Chrysler commercials on continuous loop than this. But thorough research has concluded people do, in fact, like Nickelback.
Did you know they are the second best-selling foreign act in the United States this past decade? Behind The Beatles?
Yup, because foreign act recording sales rankings constitute “thorough research.” I bet if I thoroughly researched this enough, I could determine that people prefer to not listen to shitty music.

Technically OK, but I really miss the times, when Rammstein videos used to have a PLOT.

New Orbital Song – Never
– November 4, 2011Posted in: Music
It’s been awhile since we’ve heard a new studio album from Orbital (2004!), but lo-and-behold, they’re back! (Hopefully with still-functioning glasses)
Great music to drive to and the video fully captures that soundscape. Strangely enough, though, I feel the urge to randomly shout “WRONG” when watching it. I wonder why that could be.
