How much more epic can Daft Punk’s new single featuring Pharrell Williams, ‘Get Lucky’, get? Well, loads more, as a certain YouTuber, Gabriel Zev Kenny, showed us, thanks to his mashup of the tune with some footage from American variety show Soul Train of folks getting their groove on.

This video by Dutch illustrator and animator Kristof Luyckx is so simple and effective that it’s pure genius. The animation is very well done (just look at the drummer smoothly banging away) and rendered in Luyckx’s trademark black and white style. What about Black Spires, though? Never heard of them, but I must say I [...]

A few years ago, garbage picker Cola teamed up with local musician Favio Chavez to cobble together instruments out of trash for some Paraguayan kids living in their slum. That’s violins and cellos from oil drums, flutes from water pipes and spoons and guitars from packing crates. The Landfill Harmonic — you have to love [...]

Grace Slick has been responsible for inflicting some absurdly terrible music on society. Sure, White Rabbit and Sombeody To Love are great, but are they great enough to let us forget We Built This City? I can even remember being on a plane when I was 12 and the in-flight music channel had the new [...]

I discovered the anime series Berserk many years ago through a friend and I was immediately hooked. It was made in the 90‘s and based on the Manga by Kentaro Miura. In my opinion, it’s one of the greatest stories ever told. Demons, swords, violence, amazing character development… what more could you ask for? Berserk [...]

The Frogs were a band formed in 1980 by brothers Jimmy and Dennis Flemion who wrote catchy pop tunes about race, religion, and homoeroticism. My favorite album, It’s Only Right And Natural, was released on Homestead records in 1989 and was extremely controversial because of the subject matter. The band was championed by Kurt Cobain, [...]

So Neels Castillon was shooting a commercial with Mathias Touzeris in Marseille, France, when a massive flock of starlings turned up and started a mass aerial display. The technical term for the dance is ‘murmuration’, and Alt-J’s Hand-made makes a really good soundtrack for the birds’ ensemble performance.

‘I knew I wanted to work with Johnerick as soon as I met him’, says New York-based singer-songwriter David Bronson about animator Johnerick Lawson and his contribution to the new music video for Bronson’s song Outside. Johnerick’s work is a creative mixture of animation techniques that compliments the song’s themes of inner reflection. ‘Who can [...]

Get ready for a lot of shiny chrome and sequins. This is Daft Punk’s new single from their soon-to-be-released album, Random Access Memories. Get Lucky (Featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers) is a blast from the space-crazed past. I feel like these guys should be jamming in the background at a space club somewhere in [...]

Singaporean music collective Strait Groove has released their new album, Time Train. With a new guitarist thrown into the mix, their latest record features a richer and more complex sound. From the brooding dark riffs of opening track Lost My Mind to the acoustic heartbreak song Chains, they somehow retain their schizophrenic mix of rock-blues-jazz-indie-folk-acoustic [...]

The Eaten by Bears track ‘Simple As Hell’ is ridiculously catchy and what song isn’t made better by bongos? They also have a great name. Fortunately, they haven’t yet been eaten. By bears. Catchy tunes with a math rock edge. You can stream their first album free on their bandcamp. For fans of Foals.
