The Return of Home Video


“I Can Make You Feel It” – Home Video
Debuted this week on MTV’s Subterranean and MTVU

As 2008 comes to a close, i’ve been taking inventory of what artists have impacted my ears the most. According to Last.fm, the 5 artists and bands i’ve scrobbled the most, Radiohead, Death In Vegas, The Presets, The Rapture, and Home Video.

Home Video, Collin Ruffino and David Gross, are New Orleans transplants, now living in Brooklyn, New York. Here they revel in a self-created world of references to Edward Gorey, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Portishead, and other references that they have been collecting for nearly ten years.

As electronic-rock producers and performers, they record everything themselves, then adapt it live with hypnotic visual projections. After sharing a bill in London at the start of Home Video’s first European tour, Blonde Redhead invited the band to support them for three weeks of shows in North America. Since then they have opened for such diverse acts as Yeasayer, Flying Lotus, Pinback, Colder, ad Radio 4.

Originally discovered by Warp Records, the label released Home Video’s first two EPs in 2004, both packaged in sleeves illustrated by Collins dark, Gorey-esque drawings. “That You Might”, the single, immediately picked up considerable attention in Britain from BBC Radio 1 and the NME, while the five song Citizen EP earned the band a feature in Rolling Stone. In 2006, New York based Defend Music released their debut full length, “No Certain Night Or Morning”. Grammy nominated Sasha picked two of the songs from this album to remix for his recently released Involver 2, which also included reworked songs from Thom Yorke, Ladytron, M83, and Apparat.

I was just sent a promo of their self released EP “It Will Be OK” which is the first new material Home Video has released since 2006. It illustrates the bands new direction in both sound and attitude. The new music is decidedly more complex than their earlier work and gives way to glimmerings of hope marked by sublime swells of sound. They’ve also since, been recording with their touring drummer, Jim Orso.

Home Video, also producers in their own right, have remixed Bang Gang, Modwheelmood, their own releases, “Melon” and “We” and have also been remixed by Loving Hand aka DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy.


Home Video – Maybe What You Need – Self Release


Home Video – The Tundra – Warp


Home Video – Penguin – Loving Hand Remix


Bang Gang – The World Is Grey – Home Video Remix

Dances With White Girls – GirlsBug!

Throne of Blood Records

We got our hands on an infectious dance floor party starting tune – “Girlsbug“, the first track from the EP – “New Crack Swing“, produced by Dances With White Girls, being released on the new and improved Throne of Blood Records.

We’re happy to see NYC based, TOB alive and kicking after going through distributor drama along with well over 300 indie label worldwide, late last year. Unfortunately, we lost a few good one’s along the way. However, as they say, the strong survive, perseverance pays off, and good music reigns supreme, Throne of Blood is proof of just that.

The new New York based label is owned and operated by The Rapture. Originally created as a vehicle to release 12″s singles from the bands 2007 album – “Pieces of the People We Love.” The New Crack Swing EP is the first of many non-Rapture releases to come.

TRASH MENAGERIE SEPTEMBER RECAP

This is what Trash Menagerie was throwing down during the month of September. Features, interviews, parties, and plenty’a mix and MP3 download. We’re snuggling in for the busy month of October. Have you started thinking about your Halloween costume yet? We’re looking for ideas, so please hit us up and let us know if you’ve got any. Last year we gave you a heads up on how to MAKE YOUR OWN DAFT PUNK COSTUME. Hipster Runoff offered up a bit of inspiration, “WTF SHOULD I B 4 ALL HALLOW’S EVE”, But is it “ok” to be a Justice this year, if you were a Daft last year?

A truly scary option, the United States Vice Presidential Republican
Candidate
and current Governor of AlaskaSarah Palin.
Sarah Palin Halloween Viking
Hmm, I guess she didn’t get understand the memo regarding last year’s Halloween Party. It was a Nordic theme. Looks like she still won anyway, even though she didn’t really come close to qualifying.

Sarah Palin 7 Months Preggers “I can hide my belly in a sexy, yet sophisticated, little black business suit.”
Sarah Palin seven months pregnant
Goodness, her belly is HUGE, she looks like she’s going to pop any day now, right?

This is what Demi Moore looked like when she was seven months preggers . . .

Sarah Palin’s Witch Doctor . . .

Other potential options – “Sarah Palin Mayor of Meth”, “Sarah Palin Miss Alaska”, “Sarah Palin Soccer Mom”. Wow, and to think, the election isn’t even over yet, we’ve still got a few weeks to go . . . goodness, i’m sure we’ll have so many more choices to choose from. Maybe i’ll pull off one of those “couple costumes,” and we can go together as “Foreign Palin Policy“. One of us will be Russia, and the other Alaska, and we’ll stand on opposite sides of the room and say “I can see ya over there, behave yourself!”

“Sarah Palin Miss Alaska”

Anyway, Sarah, this song is dedicated to you . . .

The Rapture !K7 Mix – Unmastered

My favorite band, The Rapture, also DJ. They are soon releasing a mix on K7, and oops, it leaked. This is the un-mastered version. They have two of my favorite tracks back to back – Armand Van HeldenFlowerz” & Cajmere feat. Dajae – “Say U Will.” Paul Johnson’s “Get, Get, Down”, I think this was the tracks where he showed the world, not only could he produce, but also sing. Also included in the mix the unreleased track from the forthcoming – Dances With White Girls EP “Everybody’s Got to Make a Living”, which is soon coming out on their own label – “Throne Of Blood“, the EP is currently “in promo”, expect it to be making the blog rounds soon!

The Presets Return with a New Album & Tour Dates

Ultra 8201 just made my day . . . I am so excited, I am so excited! (and perhaps living under a rock?!?!?)

I LOVE me some Presets, I wonder if their ears are ringing, because I was listening to their earlier releases, “Beams” & “Girl and the Sea” this afternoon and talking to my girl Lynnel about when they were finally going to release their new LP -APOCALYPSO“. This news is wicked awesome.

The Presets were my first introduction to Modular, which lead to being turned on to Cut Copy, and all the rest. I very vividly remember playing “Girl and the Sea” to death the month I made the decision to leave Chicago and move to New York. It was a bittersweet time, and that EP, and particularly, the title track “Girl and the Sea” were the soundtrack of my life back then. I think I shed a tear or 2 on a few occasions. Luckily, “Girl and the Sea” was followed by “Kitty in the Middle”, and that track is all “sexy time”, so I didn’t stay emo for long. But, its cool, because whenever I hear these songs, it totally takes me back. *Sigh*, music is pretty amazing like that, the way it triggers memories, thoughts, feelings, experiences. Gotta love it!


Girl and the Sea – The Presets – Cut Copy Remix

I have been lucky to see them live several times, when they opened for The Rapture, and they’re even BETTER live, then when recorded and “studiofied”, which is a rarity for most acts. I don’t know which show to go to in NY? Maybe both?
