Video: Architecture in Helsinki – That Beep.mp3
As we move forward in time, I wonder how Architecture in Helsinki became ‘relevant’ when so many other kutesie, empty sounding bands faded away in 2k0-2k5. Is it because they are foreign? Do they write good songs? Is their work conceptually satisfying? Do they write lyrics that help humanity cope with the human experience?
h8 u arch in helsink.
Music Video: Fan Death – Veronica’s Veil.mp3
Fan Death: the Glass Candy of 2k9? I will listen to them more than I realize & I won’t be able to tell how much I like their music. I just listen to it because it sounds ‘kinda disco-y + a lil bit authentic.’ I allegedly value the ‘production value.’ They are also 2 girls and some bro producer. Not sure if I want 2 start crushing on 1 of them yet. (miss u Alice Glass)

Music Video: the Jewels – Who Will Save Yalls Soul
This Jewel girl is a new up-and-coming artist who is changing the independent music scene. I know that there aren’t many women in the music industry, but after the Jewels, things might be different. Her song ‘Who Will Save Your Soul’ is about George W. Bush’s Presidency. Kinda makes me want 2 be religious.
Music Video: The Postal Services – We Will Become Silhouettes
This is a band by indie startup bloghaus band The Postage Servicing. U can see that the band is a group of authentic friends who united under the common goal of making meaningful music together. The song is about being afraid of dying without leaving ur mark on society. (afraid2die, yall) The Postal Service is certainly a band to watch in 2k9.
In 2k9, HRO will be all about ‘breaking bands’ that yall have nvr heard of.
I have a Satty Radio show. I have awesome taste in music, yall!
(better taste than u) ///my blog is on the hypemachine
The most music u will ever share is in a meaningless car ride in ur Honda Accord with a group of your closest friends. Or maybe on a mix CD for your mom’s Birthday.
Love u, carles! ///bye
PS: Do yall know n e buzz bands that I should play on my nxt radio show? Feel like I’m really ‘leaving my mark on society’, yall. 1 person can(’t) make a diff.

Carles why is there no video for the Fab Death’s? It just looks like the blue oompa loompa video again. Can you tell us about the azn legend about fan death? Is it really dangerous to fall asleep with a fan on in your room?

All these music viddys makin’ reference to Jodorowsky’s cult classic “The Holy Mountain.” From the scene in MGMT’s viddy where they push monie in a burning hole (where have all the monies gone???) to the scene in “That Beep,” where the pplz are led like slave/monks with a big ass rope. If you want to bleed more neon check out, “The Holy Mountain.” Your friends will be totes jelly of your weird yet relevant film taste.

Fan Death suck . Posers. They are really a shit boring electro band called Dandi Wind, they discovered Glass Candy and switched genre to appeal to Hipster Runoff.

CRLS, ur radio show is kinda mainstream///ghey, but since i realize there will be plenty of entry-levelers enthusiastically listening to it [via MacBooks] i’m going 2 leave a suggestion/vicariously impose my superior and more genuinely authentic taste in music on them [via u].
MEMORY CASSETTE!!!!!!! (they r so under-hyped right now. it makes me sooo sad that i tear up & fuck up my alice glass-wannabe eye make-up)

Miss u Ida No
Fan Death = wannabe Glass Candy w/ Chrissie Hynde’s voice.
Why must they only tour in foreign countries. I still remember the goddess that is Ida traipsing through the crowd at Beerland barefoot on my b-day. I lost my eyes for all other alts. Only have eyes for that disco queen.

That helsinki chk must b british cause she is ugly n that Ben altgrandady looks like a child molester. I thnk tht is relivent in 2k9 as Child molesters will only increase in size and gain popularity in 2k9. They need a spokes person and Ben altgrandadymolester could be that man with a gnder/idntity/molstr issue.

@wes, plz. for a genre that thrives on bright colors, it’s just begging people to paint themselves. But whatever, I’ve been painting myself bright colors since 2k6.

Hey what’s with all the tugging in those AIH and FD videos? You wouldn’t have had anything to do with that, would you?

Erol alkan is like the bro’est bro producer, but he has got htese mutton chops which sort of push his personal brand into the altbag category.
but u can probably start crushing on at least one of them.
