The boys from Osaka horrorpunk outfit Balzac are in fine form in their video for Blackened, the first single from their new JUDGEMENT DAY album.

I’ve got it in heavy rotation, along with THIS:

Enter Shikari’s new video for Destabilise has it ALL; big drops, hilarious dancing, and colour separation (2010’s favorite video effect).

The video for Depeche Mode‘s Hole to Feed basically revolves around three key elements: weirdos, nonsense, and face-licking. It all comes together over a nice low-energy groove.
UPDATED November 1st:
The original video I posted was deleted by Myspace. MYSPACE! You shitty guys!
Here it is on Youtube.

Saltwater Room is a pleasant synthpop song that appears on Owl City‘s new “Ocean Eyes” album. Ocean Eyes feels a bit overproduced to the point where the vocals have a kind of artificial vibe, but not enough to ruin the record. I digs it!

WHAT ELSE, WHAT ELSE?!

Chromeo – Night By Night – Chromeo’s latest single, big ups to WDIR for uploading this one.
The new Enter Shikari video – Zzzonked – “I think I’m gonna give my eyes up for lent!!”

S-A-TUR-DAY- … NIGHT! Hi everyone! I’ll do you a solid and actually keep things brief this week. Let’s go!

The new Enter Shikari video for No Sleep Tonight!

IT FEELS WEIRD TO FOREGO PLEASANTRIES, EVEN ON A BLOG

The Kickdrums collaborated with an MC named Verbal (not the one from the Teriyaki Boyz, I think this dude’s from Cleveland…) on a hiphop record called Idiot Savant. The album has Verbal, whose voice sounds a tiny bit like Celph Titled, rapping over beats produced by The Kickdrums. And it’s fire, so get it! Download Kickdrums & Verbal – Idiot Savant.

Verbal really goes in on “The Times”, which samples “Such Great Heights” by The Postal Service, and the beat on “Don’t Say a Word” is pretty great.

Track 10 is called Ice Princess. The beat features the guitar riff from The Cure’s “Lullaby” and I feel like this track needs a special mention because maybe sometimes ice princesses get a bad wrap. We’re in the middle of a summer heat wave, so maybe an ice princess is exactly what I need…

Idiot Savant – Ice Princess – Ice Princess, should I get dressed, or // get in that bath tub and give you a back ruuuuub?
