I’ve mentioned this great Real Estate track before, and now it has its own video produced by Weird Days and featuring some very friendly looking canines. It doesn’t have the wild exuberance of previous Weird Days productions like Das Racist’s ‘Michael Jackson,’ but does take a trippy, mid-song left turn before reverting back to the kind of cuddly, feel-good vibe you can only get from watching a band perform for an audience of dogs in green bowties.

As it turns out, David Lynch doesn’t listen exclusively to Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison ballads the way I’d pictured. The filmmaker has been collaborating with music engineer ‘Big’ Dean Hurley on his debut musical album Crazy Clown Time and now they’ve put together a mix of some of their recent musical obsessions for The Stool Pigeon. You can stream it above – there’s no shortage of bluesy-rock in the form of Gary Clarke, Jr. and The Kills along with some left-turns like James Blake’s beautiful, wobbly ‘Limit to Your Love.’

Don’t sleep on the collaboration between AiAiAi and Fool’s Gold Records, the Gold TMA-1, available in our shop and online starting today. Only 2,000 produced, this is a sharp design tweak of the classic TMA design — a great headphone for use at home, on the street or behind the decks.



In other Fool’s Gold news, they’ve just released the video for Duck Sauce’s “Big Bad Wolf,” directed by the king-of-music-video-weirdness Keith Schofield. Watch it above — it’s not exactly NSFW, but it’s not entirely not NSFW, either. I guess we’ll call it NENSFW, but NENNSFW? Either way, it’s hilarious.

It’s been five years since Chromatics have released a new record, but it’s high time in the wake of Drive‘s success. Watch the video for new single and title track  “Kill For Love” directed by Alberto Rossini.

Of the many synth-y, retro-tinged acts that have come into favor over the last couple years, Summer Camp remains one of my favorites. The melodies are all there, but the tunes also have that certain special ‘other’ that take them beyond fluff-pop, creating pictures and stories and a world all their own.  The video for “Down” manages to do the same, pointing to 80s-retro with certain signifiers, but not being slavishly devoted to re-creating an era, it has the freedom to take its own interesting turns. The use of “more than 50 infinitely looping” GIF images is a cool effect, the characters in this world trapped in their repetitions.

This came out last year, but it seems like as good a time as any for a revisit. Das Racist, those lovable kids from Brooklyn with a penchant for turning the inane into the insane(ly catchy) created a video-game-styled music video for “Who’s That? Brooown!” Fun in its own right, certainly, but thing is it’s actually a game. YES. YES. Enjoy the twisted, 8-bit minds of Das Racist (and video-game creator Sabzi) right here.



Last year, NYC menswear designer Adam Kimmel chatted with magician/performance artist David Blaine in Interview Magazine. During their talk, there was mention of a video piece they’d just finished collaborating on that involved Blaine floating deep in shark-infested waters without the aid of any pesky contraptions like, say, a cage. That’s right — Blaine was free-floating as 20-some Great Whites circled him, 3 or 4 at a time, all while wearing Kimmel’s clothing, including a full tuxedo, and performing acts like eating a banana and smoking a cigar. The fruits of their labor are now online in the form of a short film. Enjoy.
