Some New Stuff To Watch

Alabama Thunderpussy: Words of a Dying Man

With their sixth album (the hellaciously good Open Fire) in stores this week, Alabama Thunderpussy have brought upon the world a most glorious storm of riffs, myths and awesomely melodic whiskey metal. If that analogy doesn't work for you, imagine what the soundtrack to 300 might sound like if the battle of the Spartans had taken place along the banks of the Mississippi rather than in Greece. Sure, it could be argued that songs about Conanesque barbaric battles are soooo 2005. But, then again, so is stoner metal. And I sure as hell ain't suck of that yet.



What the video has to do with what I just said about epic battles? Well, the rest of the album fits the motif better; I just couldn't find any other videos. Sue me.

Nine Inch Nails: Survivalism (official video)

Now that you've seen the live clip of NIN's new single, check out the lo-fi (yet really cool) official video. Like most other Year Zero related goodies to emerge in advance of the album's release on April 17, this video first surfaced on USB pen drives (these particular ones were found at this week's Brixton show). Of course, there are hidden clues embedded in the video that lead savvy folk to even more of Reznor's dystopic websites of the future. I won't bother pointing it out to you in case you're actually playing along and have never watched this video, but the key lies in the time codes, so watch closely!



Oh, and if all this Year Zero stuff is going over your head, don't worry about it too much. Just wait for the movie, which may or may not be made.

Jessica's Body

I really have nothing suitable to follow up the brand spanking new Nine Inch Fucking Nails video... so let's watch something mind-numbingly awful!



What, you thought I was joking about the awful part? I'm only assuming there's a back story to this, but I'm not about to investigate. I do know one thing for a fact, though... this video works way better on mute.
