This new video from Perfume Genius is so hot and beautiful, it melts the screen and the song “Die 4 you”, is so so sweet, it reminds us a little bit of Sade “Love Delux”, we love it, the video was directed by the amazing Floria Sigismondi.
This song is taken from his new album ‘No Shape’ out now via Matador Records.
Enjoy!

20 years in the making, The Festival Of Dead Deer made their return to the stage thanks to Planet B & Three One G nights presented at Blonde Bar.
Silent were also on the bill to make this night even better.
The Festival of Dead Deer came out ready to prove that 20 years away from the stage was not enough not diminish the power and importance of “The Many Faces of Mental Illness“, their seminal album released via Three One G records.
Dylan Gordon, Chris Hathwell & Michael Crain got together, rehearsed and decided that they were going to do at least 2 (two) shows, one in San Diego and the other at the Echo in Los Angeles, CA on Friday April 7th.
Song after song they were building a certain anxiety up. Song after song they were delivering one of the best sets of live music I have ever witnessed. No, this is not lip service. If you were not there it might be a little difficult to fully grasp why the adulation to this particular show. They just were…
Here is the setlist:
Double Dare
In fifty words or less
Monotones
Episodes
Basura Blanca
My name’s explicit
New song!
Stagnant
Tom Violence
Rated Are
The Coming of going
2nd New song!
What makes sense
Limited edition of zero
Inner planetary reasoning
Silent served as the opening act. And they were kind enough to preview 2 songs from what their new album might be. If at this point you have not seen them live you’re doing yourself a disservice. For lack of better words I will go out to say that they’re my favorite new band around. No, I don’t mean local band. No, I don’t mean band where a friend plays. No, I certainly don’t mean a band that was recommended by someone. I mean my favorite band because the album they released last year, “A century of abuse” was one of the best albums from 2016. I mean my favorite band because each time I get to see them live, their show and performance gets better, they sound louder and they still get to surprise me with something new in their intense performance.
These news are better than black coffee…
From Ipecac Recordings
“Here’s some news to get your Monday morning going: Mike Patton joins Dead Cross, new album on Ipecac in 2017!
Dead Cross, the Southern California outfit featuring Dave Lombardo (ex-Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Misfits), Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Head Wound City) and Michael Crain (Retox, Festival of Dead Deer), have added Mike Patton as the band’s singer.
Lombardo is the guest drummer on Late Night with Seth Meyers this week (Dec. 12 to 15).”
We had the chance to see Dead Cross play their first show last year, Dec. 1st. at Casbah San Diego, you can see photos from that show on our Facebook page.
We can’t wait to listen to the album and see them perform live again, now with Mike Patton, is going to be insane.
New song from Run the jewels “Talk to me”, off their long awaited new album RTJ3 and it also appears on the Adult Swim singles 2016.
Why does Radiohead matter?, Why or How is it that after 20+ years they still find a way to innovate and create something new?, Are they still relevant?, Do they win new fans with their album release?, What does their marketing mean to all the rest of the bands out there?
Is this their best album yet?, Did they innovate?, Did they create something new?
After 9 albums and multiple different solo ventures, who are they?
All of these questions, and more, came up to me while listening to their new album. Is it their best album?, I don’t know. Is it a return to form?, I don’t even know what that means. I don’t know if I want them back in whatever their old form means.
This is what I do know, this album felt right. This album was what I needed and wanted to hear, I didn’t know this until the album started playing before my ears. Granted, the first time I heard the first single “Burn The Witch” it did not do much to impress, however after listening to the second single, in which they gave a chance to the up and coming filmmaker known as Paul Tomas Anderson to direct it, the first single felt better in my ears. Then the album happened, and song after song it was just what needed to be played.
Yes, in my not so humble opinion it does sound like a Jonny Greenwood album. It also sounds like a soundtrack to a PTA film, one that has yet to be filmed. It sounds beautiful and grand, no, it is not reinventing the wheel. No, it is not visionary, yes, it was amazingly produced. Yes, it’s quite possible it’s in my top 2 albums from the band.
All 11 tracks in this album are beautiful and magical. They sound great in the record and I can only imagine that they will sound majestic live. “Ful Stop” is a favorite, so is “Desert Island Disk”, and also “The Numbers” as is “Present Tense”. At this point you can get the idea that the whole album is absolutely worth a listen, if you like music. And if your were one of the lucky bastards to score tickets to one of their shows at non-festivals then I’m sure you will be in for a treat.
To those that say that this sounds somewhat emo. That it sounds sad. That it is too slow. That is too downtempo. That they prefer dancing Thom. That hey prefer when ______… Listen, just please stfu. It’s ok not to like it. The same way that it’s ok to like it. The one thing anyone can say is that whenever Radiohead releases an album, you can be sure that everyone will have an opinion. As biased as it will be, everyone will have one.
All hail Radiohead, Nigel Godrich and Stanley Donwood included!, For they’re one of the last visionaries recording.
i think i better follow you around
