Ok, so I didn’t do a real post today. I’ve sort of been working on my own little best albums of 2012 list, because I am an indredible dork, and I thought I’d share some videos from a band that’s definitely going to be up near the top of it. The band is Friends, and their album is Manifest! (with an exclamation mark). They remind me a bit of YACHT and maybe Santigold mixed with some old school punk-funk along the lines of ESG and the Bush Tetras.
Here’s their sparkliest video, with some funny lyrics:
This one seems to be a poly anthem of sorts:
And this one is one big genderfuck:
Oh, and while I’m at it, here’s a video from YACHT. Be careful: this video might just move you.
And one from the Bush Tetras: creep shaming put to music!
LOL you’re still ahead of me, Katz. Most recent album I bought before Wrecking Ball would have been Magic, and I bought that this year anyway. 😛
Curse you, Springsteen earworms!
Wow, Janelle Monae is one hell of a dancer! It’s like there’s no friction at all, as if you could do controlled movement on ball bearings.
The only non-rap albums I’ve listened to this year are the new Mars Volta and Godspeed. I’m pretty boring when it comes to stuff like that so here’s some rap music instead:
Random aside: I stopped going to reddit recently, I don’t know why I didn’t do this earlier holy shit
