Some cool stuff coming up:
-- This week, we see the release of the 25th Anniversary edition of Thriller, Michael Jackson's landmark pop-transcending musical opus...you know, pre-albino freak-out. CD has a bunch of remixes tacked on and comes complete with music videos including a digitally re-polished "Thriller" as well as live performance footage.
Since Jack-o seems to have enthralled YouTube into preventing embedding of his video, I have taken the liberty of embedding the Indian version, musically less entertaining, but comedically much better than the original.
-- Everyone's favorite indie-pop jokers We Are Scientists are releasing their latest LP, Brain Thrust Mastery in the UK and parts of Europe on March 17th. Video for lead single "After Hours" after the jump.
-- Self-described "art-pop" kids in HIJK combines pop-punk vocal delivery and melodic direction with technical details constructed using post-punk nuts and bolts. Most notably, the angular and interesting guitar work as well as the truly kinetic bass work to deliver some enjoyable gems that often surprise and defy description. Maybe its the inspired and varied instrumentation...je ne sais quoi. Check their first video for "Paper Boat" after the jump.
