Remember when you were watching all those nature shows with the kids, with fungi, snails, and slugs slithering around, straining time-lapse and uncannily anthropomorphic-like toward the sky, and thought -- "that sure reminds me of, um, . . . that's not at all what I should be thinking about." Well, here's the video you were beginning to think about, in a kinda benign but sorta begging for mockery kind of way. Weird hipsters from Minneapolis, indeed.
A collection of ephemera. Technology, robots, lefty politics, fatherhood, but mostly music.
Merely a small fold in the information continuum.

POLIÇA - Lay Your Cards Out
Post prog, synthy psych from Minneapolis. Bound to be a hipster fave, it seems, despite Channy Moon Cassello's move from her former folk persona to an auto-tuned machine sound for the vocals here.
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Back Burner
Minimalist and sexy. And when the organ kicks in just for a moment about midway, I'm completely committed.

Lambchop - Give It
Nashville stalwart, from a fairly recent live performance. There's a gripping revelatory mood in this particular clip. Kinda awesome.

Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky
Latest sensation from "rap-rave" South African duo. I like the aesthetic better here than the bouncing dildos in their last single, "Evil Boy." Still consistently shiver worthy.
