I can't believe that these guys were just here, touring through my city in the past few months, and I didn't go see them b/c I hadn't heard their music yet. I didn't know who they were, and so I missed them... And oh, now I read that they've been a band since at least 2005. ((AUGH!)) How did this happen??? How did no one ever mention them to me?

Incredible Trip Hop band from Montreal. If there is a new band to add to your list of new music, this is them.


BEAST - "Mr. Hurricane":


( More, more, more )

Lastly, it's only a matter of time before the following song appears on a movie soundtrack. It's just too good.

BEAST - "Microcyte" (sorry, no official video):

The Knife - Pass this on("Live" Sen Kväll Med Luuk); vocals by Karin Dreijer, drag performance by Rickard Engford:

I think that whoever commented "damn, if this is how they present a performance in Sweden, we need to import that ASAP" was completely right.

If you like Karin Dreijer's voice, then you will also enjoy the project Fever Ray, (which is Karin herself I believe). It can be some very creepy stuff, I will tell you, though... Creepily beautiful.


Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me':

I saw another video for that song, made by a fan, and it demonstrated a few panels of artwork taken from the following graphic novel. It was probably the perfect choice.

"Black Hole is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written and illustrated by Charles Burns and published jointly by Kitchen Sink Press and Fantagraphics. |The story deals with the aftermath of a sexually transmitted disease which causes grotesque mutations in teenagers."

I suggest you look at the entire rest of that blog as well. I have only just found it, and am in adoration. :)
