There's a very otherworldly, almost indoctrinating quality in the voice of the woman narrating this video about Moonalice, a band put together by frequent Stopokaygo subject T-Bone Burnett that includes G.E. Smith, who used to be the bandleader on SNL and Jack Casady, former member of Jefferson Airplane. Back to the narrator, I'm sure I'm just imagining that her voice sounds hypnotic but after ..

Track:People Movin
Aww yeah. Here's the song of the week, an older one via Red Threat. A real simple video above, that shows The Shoes walking through an Osaka, Japan shopping center with people who are, umm... movin. If they were gonna go the literal direction why not go (as Bruce Willis might say) full throttle, and show people movin' on the People Mover. Or interviews with Jim Carrey. He's always movin' while ...

Track:What the World Is Coming To
There isn't much that I don't not like (oops triple negative again) about this video for the song What The World Is Coming To by The Swimmers. It might just be because I've been doing a little re-decorating and the colors/paint, vines and tile in the apartment where the video is filmed are divine and inspiring. Was the whole thing just a dream or just another case of someone having just watche..

Track:Youth & Lust
Unlike some artists who have released upbeat and party-ous songs in reaction to these hard economic hard times, others like Wes Eisold of Cold Cave are choosing to enjoy the darkness, as Depeche Mode never said.Eisold has not only been a part of several well-received musical projects, he also runs an indie publishing company called Heartworm Press that publishes underground punk works. In thi...

The Dead and The Innocent
++Happy Halloween Friday! There's a terrific excerpt from Andre Agassi's memoirs in the latest Sports Illustrated that I highly recommended kicking off the loafers to read. Not because of any of the dirt he dishes but because he, or maybe his ghostwriter, has a tremendous way with words. If indeed it was Agassi who wrote it all up, he's a Zenmaster (as Streisand once called him) of the pen, as...

++From the Inbox: Here's something to get your head bouncin'...General Electricks probably get the Sly and the Family Stone comparison all the time, especially with the funky like Dam-Funk song above and on 'Lil Lady.' General Electriks' new album Good City For Dreamers comes out November 10th. Something tells me this is going to be used in a commercial if it hasn't already been. General E.

I was at the market the other day and saw this bottle of Relax Riesling with the word Relax lolling about in a dark sea of blue (naked, obviously), annoyingly instructing me to Relax. How condescending.It's therefore with some chagrin that I suggest the video above be watched as a relaxational experience. Unlike a lot of other songs that wander aimlessly.. pointless navel gazing experiments, t...
