Finally, a good video. No incoherent plot line, no pretensious Cirque Du Soleil costumes or characters, no cutesy hipster “we’re nearing 30, but it’s still fun to play dress up with our friends” bullshit. Well done, Thee Oh Sees. Catch Thee Oh Sees on tour this year, with amazing acts like Pavement, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Flaming Lips – or if you live in Denver, on their own.

Amazing song. You know, it wouldn’t have a been a bad video if they’d nixed the girl with the bad haircut. (In case you weren’t aware, she’s “alternative”). It’s a video, though, so you know, like a Cirque du Soleil show, there’s always got to be something mindless and pandering in there to fuck it all up and distract from whatever genius might lie within. Can’t have it be too cool, right?
This is from the new album “Who We Touch” in stores (in the US) on Sept. 14th.
There’s even a US tour. Denver, sadly, is not on the list.

DJ Lung turned me onto Tame Impala a few weeks ago. I dropped one of their songs on Episode 68 (Live at Split). The song and band are amazing… but the video reinforces my distaste for most music videos. If it gets to be too much, just keep the speakers on and close your eyes.
Drew Grow and the Pastors’ Wives make their home in Portland, and meld together a scuzzy, squally blend of rebellious gospel/folk that at times possesses the radiant buoyancy of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and in quieter moments the seeping warmth of M Ward or intelligent, lovely meanderings of Elvis Perkins. It’s wild […]

It was a 3OH!3 show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder two years ago when Kamtin Mohager stood alone on the stage with an iPod and his bass guitar as The Chain Gang of 1974. In 2010, things are quite different for the songwriter. Kamtin’s lone line up has grown from two, to three, to four people on stage and a ton more instruments in the mix. The new album, White […]
Modern Glossy’s Maria Giannakakis interviews Vassilios Kostetsos during fashion week in New York. Watch the exclusive video interview backstage and the runway show below. Designer Vassilios Kostetsos frequently turns to his heritage for inspiration, as he did for Fall/Winter 2010. With his muse being the greek drama Antigone, Vassilios brought forth a sexual […]
Toronto – Ruby Coast has always been one of those bands I’ve heard about, but have never heard. However, that streaked stopped recently when I listened to the Aurora, Ontario band’s recently released free EP – Whatever This Is/Creep Me Out which is free with a tweet or a facebook post. Get used to social […]
Thai soap sensation Hugo was a guest on my show tonight. He shares a practice space with Your Vegas and Mat told me good things about Hugo's music. The EVR guys set it up so he would perform a song live in the booth, and it was his cool cover version of Jay Z's 99 Problems. His version includes a banjo. We talked about his acting skills, the song h […]
