Lovers Electric’s new single Could This Be. It could?
by Life is filled with many hidden delights that keep us warm on those days when the world seems confused and expended. One of my favorite delights is finding that new song that you play over and over again. Repeat, repeat, dancing around in your room, acting a complete fool and enjoying every moment of it. Lovers Electric is the new sound to kick off my day and keep me smiling.

Video for the Regurgitator single: No Show
Our latest video offering is No Show from our album, Superhappyfuntimesfriends. When I found out this old Japanese monster movie was in the public domain, I just had to fuck with it. Even though it’s trimmed down from 90 minutes to three, I don’t think the continuity of the film is that effected. The plot may in fact make more sense to certain people with this particular edit.
New single, The Bug, from Sydney band Cogel
Cogel have just released the music video for The Bug, the first single from their debut album, due out in March 2012. I’m picking up whatever poetic percussion they’re puttin’ down.
Lovers Electric: Beating Like a Drum
This intriguing duo showed up on my doorstep in Sydney a few years ago wanting some help with their first album cover after a call from their record company. We polished off the design together, and I was inspired after meeting David and Eden, or Lovers Electric as they’re known in Australia, UK and Germany. They’ve just released their second LP and this first single, Beating Like A Drum, is beautifully shot, directed and performed. What is it about duos that are romantically linked?

Shut Up and Play The Hits: an LCD Soundsystem doco
When you begin a band, do you ever think about how will it end? LCD said their goodbyes last year with some concerts for all fans to celebrate one last loss of abandon. Lucky for all those who did not get to be part of the farewell, there is a documentary sharing all the highlights.
Xbox 360 reinventing TV with Kinect Sesame Street TV
They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. Big Bird, Fozzie and the gang at Sesame Street team up with Microsoft to create a Kinect-based show interacting with the kiddies. Gets them off the couch and moving along with the shows. I want to play.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And while a good number of us will habitually throw out good-for-nothing junk mail, artist Sandhi Schimmell Gold uses it to create vibrant portrait mosaics.
Forget the sanitized image the White House put out, with the President looking suitably stern and the room hushed in awed curiosity. We have obtained the ‘real’ Situation Room photo, before government hacks put their Photoshop touches on it.
Ten Masked Men are a British parody band that does death metal covers of famous pop songs by Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, and many others. One of my favorites is their cover of Justin Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me a River’. It’s epic.
Somewhere in the Grand Buenos Aires, specifically in the neighborhood of Marcos Paz, Argentina, we found the Boeing House, a typical two sided roof chalet into which some parts of a Boeing 747 were inserted. Read more
Our friends over at Sex In Art recently posted the work of Japanese artist Aya Kato. Says Justin, the founder of the site: ‘I have this folder on my desktop titled Cool Shiat. It’s where I save all the inspirational images I find on the net. I’ve just finished filling it up with Aya Kato’s amazing images. Argh wow. Wow, wow, wow. I won’t say anymore. Just check her work out for yourself’. Read more
What do you get when you combine the most sophisticated rock band of the past thirty years with a smooth jiving, foul mouthed rapper with enough testosterone to make up for the rock band’s distinct lack of it? Hmmm? I present Jaydiohead. The greatest mash-up since the great potato wars of 2008.
