This one is for my gamer chums as well as all my pals out there who make music that is both noisy and strange. An interview from Wired.com with Amon Tobin and the Sony Music Team from the recently released title Infamous (PS3). The video focuses on their effort to bring found objects and homemade instruments into the studio to create an unconventional soundscape that accurately reflect the sense of destruction and decay in the game.

This is the new video for The Mae Shi’s Lamb and the Lion off of their 2008 album HLLYH. It’s a quirky Flash animation piece by Natalia Stuyk done in a primitive medieval style—which is befitting the theme of the song.

This is a follow up to a post I wrote a long-ass time ago, all the way back in the balmy summer of 2008. Back then I’d mentioned that Warren Ellis was writing a darker grittier (read: PG13) version of one of my favorite after school cartoons G.I. Joe. Since then previews of said cartoon/anime/what-have-you have begun to popped up on the interwebs, and I figured I might as well share them with you too.

…After a quick hop over to Adult Swim I see that the episodes have started airing. Personally, I like what I’ve seen so far. It’s definitely grittier than the original, and the refresh that they tried a few years ago. G.I. Joe Resolute will likely appeal to most anime fans, even if you weren’t a fan of the original series. (Sacrilege!) So, hop on over to Adult Swim and check out episodes 1-8, or you can wait until Saturday, April 25th when they will air Resolute in it’s entirety at 12 midnight (check your local listings for exact time).

Check out Cable Tv the latest video from Asthmatic Kitty Records artist Fol Chen. Fol Chen play quirky and upbeat avant pop that’s got a tap-worthy beat, their new album Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made is well worth checking out. Personally, Fol Chen is quickly becoming one of my favorite new artists this year.

What do you do when members of your two favorite bands come together on one stage then post the video online? You blog it, of course. Trent and the Nine Inch Nails gang invited tour mates Greg and Ben of The Dillinger Escape Plan on stage to play the NIN classic Wish—which DEP covered a couple years ago on their Plagiarism EP.

I’ve got to thank Fluxus for turning me onto The Pinker Tones, an electro pop outfit from Barcelona. The Pinker Tones produce a sweet combination of break-beats, electro, and retro cabana-boy pop, that’s mixed up with Spanish and English lyrics to produce a unique and enjoyable sound. Perfect for chilling by the pool on a sunny summer day, or sitting in your office day dreaming about chilling by the pool.

If you’re digging S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T. be sure to check out the rest of their latest album Wild Animals.
