Fucked Up, “Queen of Hearts”
I hate to be all “new media marketing” right now, but this is an awesome video. Making a music video for the web … you don’t really need to have the song in it at all, do you? That can easily be found through other means. The best way to get people interested is something like this, something that takes the song and does something creative of its own right with it. People get interested in the video because the video’s interesting. You don’t necessarily need to be out for new sounds - it’s just a good idea for a short video. But it makes use of the song in a new way, so if you are a person more interested in music than your average YouTube jerkoff, you’ll find something rewarding here too. Real well done.
Ahh, shut up, me. Anyway, I don’t see how anything could beat David Comes to Life for record of the year. I can’t stop playing this thing.
Here’s another video (“The Other Shoe”), not interesting in the same way as the one above, but it’s five minutes of some of my favorite sound ever. So, that’s pretty interesting (to me).

New Fucked Up Song! →
Yeah! The new record (David Comes to Life, which I think is about me) comes out June 7 on Matador (more info at the Matablog).
The new song is pop music (I mean that in a good way). But I’m willing to bet they’re going to suffer from the same issue Deerhoof does, in that, they’ll make totally great, accessible songs, but because the singer doesn’t sing exactly like everyone else in the universe, they’re considered “weird” and people decide not to listen. Well, I guess they’re not really suffering (either of them), as they seem to be pretty successful as these types of things go, and I’m really the one who gets all upset about it. I need to not read YouTube comments.
Anyway, check out the new song (“The Other Shoe”) at the above link. It’s great. I really enjoy the sound of Damian’s hardcore growls harmonizing with more traditional female vocals. I don’t know how it works, but it really fucking works. They’ll have more preview tracks available April 15th, 26th, and May 3rd.

Hey, remember that Fucked Up song with the girl from Duchess Says? →
Well, here it is, minus that girl, and with Zola Jesus instead. I like the changes, but I still loved Annie-Claude Deschênes’ growling vocals on that live version. Ah well, still super awesome.
Here’s my tweet about it:
Just listened to that new Fucked Up song while pooping. Highly recommended for an exciting and dramatic “hardcore pooping” experience.
