Artist Update: OK Go

posted February 6th, 2012 by iamparadox | Filed under: Editorial, General Interest, Music News, Video | 0

Tags: Ok Go

OK Go are known for their creative music videos, and their newest doesn’t disappoint. In an attempt to take their approach to another level, they worked with Chevrolet as a sponsor for this new video.  The end result?  One California desert, 288 guitars, 55 pianos and 1,157 homemade instruments–and another one of a kind, unforgettable music video. This time it’s for their song “Needing/Getting“, and took 4 months of prep, plus 4 days to record. It all takes place in a new Chevy Sonic car.

SXSW Scouting Report: Volume 2

posted February 3rd, 2012 by iamparadox | Filed under: Editorial, General Interest | 0

Tags: U.S. Girls, Humans, Big Scary, SXSW, SXSW 2012

Just like in high school and college sports, the music industry has become enamored and obsessed with discovering the next profound promise of potential.  Originally started in 1987, SXSW has matured and blossomed into the premier talent showcase for musicians around the world. As we journey towards this incredible opportunity, we decided to take an in depth look at some of the thousands of up and coming artists who will be performing.

Anyone that has ever been or considered going to experience a massive event like this knows what it feels like when looking over the line up. It can almost feel like reading a foreign language, seeing bands listed that you have never heard of. That’s where we come in to help. This can be used as a planning guide for deciding who to catch for those of you lucky enough to be able to attend. For everyone else, this is intended to be used as a primer for armchair quarterback music aficionados. Read more…

M.I.A. is no longer MIA! Just released yesterday, chances are you may have already heard about this. It’s racked up an astounding 600,000 views already. M.I.A. has once again been in the news, working with the same director Romain Gavras that did “Born Free“.  This latest single, “Bad Girls“, is less controversial then the former, and is the 2012 equivalent of “Paper Planes”.  She also does a cameo in “Gimme All Your Luvin,” the new song from Madonna featuring Nicki Minaj.

Recs From Rebelution

posted February 1st, 2012 by iamparadox | Filed under: Editorial, General Interest, Recommendations from the Celebrity Mind, Tour | 1

Tags: Rebelution, The Green, Peace Of Mind

Last year, we got to interview the drummer from RebelutionWesley Finley, which you can read here. The band are currently gearing up to kick off their new tour in support of their newest release, Peace Of Mind.  The opening bands will be The Green, who will also be on this year’s Van’s Warped Tour, and Pep Love. You can read our review of the album here:  bit.ly/xW7NHJ.  We once again caught up with Wesley to find out what they have been listening to, and what they would recommend:

City and Colour – Little Hell: an artist and album that’s easy on the ears. Strong enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman.
Alexisonfire – Old Crows/Young Cardinals: the last album by this great post-hardcore Canadian band. Gonna miss them dearly.
Dredg – Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy: an album out of left field from a usually progressive rock band. In collaboration with Dan the Automator.
The Grouch -  we’re currently on tour with this awesome hip-hop emcee so I’ve been catching up with his catalog. Listen to “Artsy”.
Adele – she’s gotten very popular for a reason. Great voice and range. Really digging the track “Hometown Glory”.
Radiohead – In Rainbows: an instant go-to for me whenever I need something downtempo and melodic.

Here is some live footage we shot of the group last year.

Episode 104: Dubstep Edition

Dubstep has left the edgy extreme of music and broken into the mainstream. Not only are there fests like Lights All Night and Electric Daisy Carnival, many electronic artists are also playing Coachella, Sasquatch, Bamboozle, and more. Dubstep is even starting to make it’s mark on music by now influencing other genres like R & B and hip-hop. I have a hunch this trend will continue and become ever increasingly popular. This is our very 1st attempt at an all dubstep podcast. Let us know what you think, we will most likely do a second volume soon.

1. Steve Aoki with Kid Cudi “Cudi The Kid”

2. Paper Diamond “Imagine The Possibilities”

3. Skrillex “Right In”

4. Porter Robinson “The State”

5. Koan Sound “Funk Blaster”

6. 12th Planet “Bass Ships”

7. Zedd “Shave It”

Artist Update: The Kills

posted January 30th, 2012 by iamparadox | Filed under: Editorial, General Interest, Music News, Tour, Video | 0

Tags: Jeff The Brotherhood, Blood Pressures, The Kills, Hunters

The Kills celebrate their ten year anniversary this poignant and playful video for “The Last Goodbye“, taken from their latest album Blood Pressures. Directed by the Oscar nominated actress Samantha Morton, who made her directorial feature debut with the critically acclaimed ‘The Unloved‘, this is her first music video.

Shot in monochrome on crisp, silvery 35mm, the video reflects the beautiful simplicity of the track, with an old-school photo booth providing an intimate backdrop for Mosshart’s intense and heart-warming opening performance followed by a series of touching to-camera poses reflecting the musicians’ longstanding, spirited friendship.

The band has been on a headlining tour, with opening acts Jeff The Brotherhood and Hunters providing support.  As if that weren’t enough, they also posted a beautiful six minute rockumentary filmed in London by videomaker Giorgio Testi.  The short film follows the final moments as they prepare to go on stage for their headline show at Brixton Academy in London. We are also including a behind the scenes making of video, as a bonus.
