Guys. Guys! New Sleigh Bells!

Stream the new Sleigh Bells album “Reign of Terror” at the NYT website. What? You’re busy listening to something that sucks ass? Turn that shit off and put on American flags, ill-fitting plaid, and giant Marshall stacks.
*I secretly wish the song Leader of the pack was, y’know, the song Leader of the Pack because it rocks and would sound awesome blown up.
A tale of two videos

Two videos came out ’round about the same time last week and I think they are the perfect example of someone who did it and someone who read about it.
Woman with terrible show greenlit because of her looks thinks we should be nicer to singer with terrible performance greenlit because of her looks

In what can only be described as tying a strip steak to your nuts and dangling them in front of a pack of wolves, Whitney “That’s Really Your Last Name” Cummings wrote a blog post weighing in on everyone weighing in on Lana Del Rey’s SNL performance. Her blog is called, I’m not even fucking kidding, “Princess Complex.”
Anyway, for whatever my two cents are worth, I don’t think Lana Del Rey is any different than any one of the hundreds of other pop starts that got style, genre, or ethnic makeovers to be marketable. Everyone’s just pissed off because she marks a pretty official start point where warm, shoegazey, fuzzed-out sounds are the mainstream and everyone knows music is only good when it stay between you and whomever you have a crush on.
Lost Lander is afraid of shorts weather

Nice moustache, Dave.
Stream and download the latest track from Shandy pals Lost Lander over at Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone? That still exists?). Afraid of Summer is part jangle pop part ghost ballad, and makes you feel just like you should when you mope around hopefully in the January fog (at least that is how I feel about it).

I’m not sure if this Supercute! video appeals more to burners, keto dieters, or pedophiles.

I love Robyn. I love her platinum hair, her slightly masculine brow, her shameless support of adultery. I even love her sweater, which can only be described as “hirsute.”
On SNL last week, I loved the way she looked like a tiny, sexy garden gnome standing next to Katy Perry (who for some reason has started to look like Téa Leoni). Now I love Taran Killam (the guy wearing the dead unicorn) too. And also–no, especially–the guy with the flashlight.
