Master of monsters, banjo playing owls, and, of course, Monsterism Island? Pete Fowler has made his long overdue music video debut after being approached by UK band Clinic for their single, I’m Aware, taken from their new Bubblegum album.

Whilst the band originally wanted an animation, Fowler developed the concept of a puppet show for adults and the band went with it. The video tells the story of a cult elder on a vision quest and comes complete with a sun vomiting up a rainbow. The ‘cast’ was made by cult textile artist, The Felt Mistress. Pete Fowler also made his puppeteering debut and operated the guitar player for the filming.

A recent system of storms blew through the entire Northeast, drenching parts of Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia, but failing to drop any moisture on heat-paralyzed Baltimore.

It was probably related to the same system that hit Chicago, simultaneously striking three of the tallest buildings there with lightning.

It would be great to be able to call Aussie band Dropbears‘ one hit wonders for this slippery pop song from 1982. But they weren’t even that. Instead, outside of a few Australian loyalists, this killer track — Fun Lovin’ — slipped into obscurity, only resurrected in its full finery on backward looking culture blogs. Oh, wait, is that us?

Coming across like a mesh of Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, Athens, Georgia, indie-rock band Twin Tigers are a earful in their own right. Their new video for the single, Red Fox Run, was directed by Robert U. Thomason.
