So technically, it's been two weeks since I posted some new videos but, what can I say? It's been slow. Regardless, let's play catch up with these...
The White Stripes: Icky Thump
The title track from the Stripes' new album, in stores June 19. It's already leaked to the interweb, but I've as yet restrained from downloading. I'm actually going to try and hold out until release date so that the other tracks are a surprise. Although, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that Icky Thump is the kick ass song of the summer. Because it fucking totally is. As for the video? Let's see; Prostitutes? Check! Drunken stupors? Check! Meg's boobs at their bouncy finest? Double check! Political message? Check! Subtitles en espanol? Check! Video of the Year? Just maybe.
Velvet Revolver: She Builds Quick Machines
"Weiland & co." used to refer to Stone Temple Pilots, which was one of the 90's greatest bands. That's why it's weird to refer to Velvet Revolver as "Weiland & co." That said, maybe we should refer to Velvet Revolver as "Slash & co." No, wait, Guns n' Roses was "Slash & co.", no matter what that Axl guy has to say about it.
So, presenting "She Builds Quick Machines", the first video from the forthcoming (read: out July 3) album Libertad... by Duff & co. I believe in you, Duff!
Green Day: Working Class Hero
Taken from Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur, here we have Green Day at their most... er, U2ish? It would seem that Bono's preachy self-important lifestyle rubbed off on Billie Joe while they were recording "The Saints are Coming". And the results are rather staggering; this is a band that was singing juvenile songs about masturbation and cross dressing just a decade ago. They have a hit politically charged album, and suddenly they're covering John Lennon and delivering a poignant PSA. Ease up, Bono Joe. Us motherfuckers didn't sign up for no fancy book learnin'.
Instant Karma comes out on June 12.
My Chemical Romance: Teenagers
I don't care what you think. This is a good song. That's right, assclowns, I like My Chemical Romance. Does that make me emo? Nope, cutting myself makes me emo. Watch this shit while I carve out a love letter down my arm to all the black angel whores who engulf my essence in darkness and pain!
If you absolutely, positively must stay for another, oh, say, 21 minutes, here's an entire episode of Wonder Showzen! And if you don't know what that is... whatever you do, heed the warning!
And we're done here.
