VIDEO: Black Pus In His Hilarious Attic

Ever wondered what Brian Chippendale does in his spare time? Maybe not, but you are able to get a brief look at his gear set-up, which looks as messy as fuck but that’s besides the point. You’ll be able to see some close-up shots of things you may have only seen glimpses of on live YouTube videos, but check out that John Bonham-style foot action. Also look at the trippy mannequin. Whatever you choose to look at during this quick jam session with himself, please remember that the presentation was shot by Peter Glantz.

SOME STUFFS: Anton Zap to release new compilation on June 18th

If you are a fan of Russian electronic music producer Anton Zap, you’ll find this news to be of interest. A new compilation album will be released on June 18th through Apollo Records, and will be complimented with three brand new songs. The Water album will contain material going as far back as 2008, and will shine the spotlight on some of his highlights over the years. Don’t consider it a greatest hits, but rather a nice set of songs that represent what he has done, and the new material will be about what’s to come. For a bit of audio proof of this man’s creativity, listen to the 10-minute “Water”. This is definitely the kind of sounds you may find yourself drifting off to, towards a much more beautiful place. You can thank Zap for that.

VIDEO: The Black Opera featuring Mayer Hawthorne’s “Queen of Hearts”

Mayer Hawthorne was asked by The Black Opera to lay some vocals down for a song, and the request was a success. “Queen Of Hearts” is the end result, and a video was made for it to show union between sound and man. The connection between artist and fan can be made when you purchase Libretto: Of King Legend, the album which features “Queen Of Hearts”. No Juice Newton on this one.

VIDEO: PremRock’s “Singapore”

If PremRock’s album honoring the music of Tom Waits, Mark’s Wild Years, wasn’t enough for you, a video was made for one of the songs. This one is called “Singapore”, where you’ll watch him move from the deep gut of the inside to the realities of the outside world. Or something like that.

As for that album, my review can be read by clicking here.

SOME STUFF: Express Rising rises again to the glory of all

For this entry, I’m going to make things brief and easy so that everyone can understand it. Ready? Let’s begin.

Express Rising.

Memphix.

Dante Carfagna.

Private press-influenced.

Second album? It’s on its way.

Title? Unknown, but maybe not. Known, or not. Maybe? Maybe.

Motorcycle John has returned. A good thing.

Instead of Memphix, this one will be released by The Numero Group.

In the words of Prince in “America”, that’s enough.

Oh wait. July 30th. Get ready. Again.

FREE MP3 DL: Run The Jewels’ “Get It”

Run The Jewels have a song they’re like for you to hear, but you’re probably like Robin Harris and saying/thinking to yourself “who the fuck are Run The Jewels?” El-P and Killer Mike decided to come together for a song, but rather than have the song get a simple credit of “El-P & Killer Mike”, they decided to give themselves a moniker, and here we are. “Get It” is one of a selection of songs that will be on their album, and this will be a free album, no joke. It will be released in June through Fool’s Good, which will be followed by a tour where they’ll be joined with former Das Racist individual Kool AD and Despot. Here are the venues they are scheduled to perform at/in:
