As the name suggests, Mysteries have a deliberately enigmatic presence. I …
Trash Monday CXXXV
If you believe the recent controversies surrounding this guy, “WDGAF” is far from the worst thing he has ever spawned. Still, it’s… unfortunate. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIcn7hqw8QA&]
Trash Monday CXXIX
Not technically a music video, but still the most hilarious artistic display I’ve encountered in a long, long time. 3:26 and 5:04 is when shit gets real. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLzgFkouSmc]
Each Other – Being Elastic
Ladies and gentlemen, today I bring you unconventionally charming indie rock by Each Other all the way from Montreal! I’ve only recently discovered their 1-and-a-half-year-old Heavily Spaced and have been listening to the small collection relentlessly for the past weeks.
