You Bastard- You've Broken My Bullshit Meter !

Well, this week has been intense, so I'm going to keep it short and sassy. I will say that I am over people trying to cover their creepiness by claiming they are "artists". If you have to keep reminding people that you are an "artist" (Please note sarcastic quotation marks enveloping the word artist. I am talking about a specific type of skeeze here.), maybe you need a new game plan? I know it's always a gamble meeting people in altered states in clubs, but bullshit is bullshit, and my bullshit meter was a tickin'!

Anyway, speaking of artists...I'm really liking The Phantom Band and the pictures of their live performances on their page made me think of Magritte's The Lovers jamming the feck out.

The Phantom Band - The Howling

I'm in a gooey, poppy, nearly demented state caused by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and I must admit that I like it. Imagine Shoegaze stylings entwined in a ball of pink cotton candy and it would maybe sound like this? The video is also sugary sweet.

Marybell Katastrophy are another band I've been listening to a lot as I walk through life. I am actually having a hard time describing the music since it seems different from song to song, but the one consistency is that it's a solid album.

Marybell Katastrophy - His Desperate Voice

I don't know much about The Airborne Toxic Event other than the fact that I am loving their sound. I am into lyrical content and they deliver both musically and lyrically, which leaves me happy and intoxicated.

I know this video has been on every blog and its mama, but this is so good that I'm going to post it too. I loved this song the second I heard it and I put it on a mix for a fellow blogger and I told him they would be taking over blogs and music sites in general. I was right. Bump ya'll if you are over the song, because this video is some epic Duran Duran shit:
