tell me the lead singer of this band doesn't look like a more cleft-chinned, uglier version of Sean Hayes from 'Will and Grace'
Real Life - Send Me an Angel '89
Starring: Sean Hayes, Beast Man (one of Skeletor's crew), and a feathery-haired semi-damsel.
Also this may be one of the most atrocious ideas for a music video ever, plus the song is super fucking gross. I wish I could phrase all this in a more articulate way, but I've seen this video three separate times at the gym, and every time I get hit with it, it makes me want to vomit, burn down my house, and find any surviving members of this band (REAL LIFE), and punish them by repeatedly and forcefully questioning them in a wet basement (while a loop of the above runs continuously) regarding their motivations for writing this song, and why they chose to make not one but TWO music videos for this total abomination. This video is one of those things that makes me somehow feel very, very ashamed to be alive. That's a strong claim, but hey, it's true.

onto the Brocken the witches are flockin' pt. 2
This new Liars song is unbelievable; a heady blend of the kinetic, caustic parts of "They Threw Us All In A Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top" (viz. 'We Live NE of Compton', and 'Grown Men Don't Fall in the River Just Like That') and the awesome seamlessness of "Drum's Not Dead". I can't get enough of 'Plaster Casts of Everything', and I was worried after hearing that Cartoon Network track, 'Sunset Rodeo', that they had retreated into a wilted, aimless version of the more ambient tracks from "They Were Wrong, So We Drowned". Not the case, apparently. Well, at least for the opening track.
