Grunge rock band Soundgarden have released a new video for their track “By Crooked Steps, which comes off their latest album King Animal. The video was directed by Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures) and features the bands as a mock motorcycle gang who rides Segways, kicks a DJ off of his turntables in order to perform a rock show, and then lead the police on a “chase”. There is also a cameo from electronic artist Deadmau5. You can watch the video below. READ MORE

10 Terrible Band Names

Band names. Some can be amazing and incredibly catchy and memorable. Others, however, can make you do a second take and whisper, “What the hell?” These are names that also stick with you throughout your life but not because of the band’s music, oh no. Rather, it’s because the name is so awful or problematic that you shudder at the very thought of bringing up these names.

So, below I’ve come up with 10 band names that are simply terrible. Note that this has nothing to do with the quality of their music, but simply is a thought about their name. Check it out! READ MORE

Deadmau5 Releases Fight-Filled Video For “Professional Griefers”

Deadmau5 has officially released the video for “Professional Griefers”, which comes from him upcoming album > album title goes here < , which comes out Sept. 25th (iTunes pre-order). The video, which features My Chemical Romance‘s Gerard Way, shows a massive UFC-esque battle between two giant Mau5 robots. It’s basically a snazzier looking, far more polished version of Robot Jox. It also features the guy from the Heavy Metal Tea video, which is still near and dear to my heart.

Check out the ultra-expensive (and expansive) video below! READ MORE

Deadmau5 Releases Behind-The-Scenes Shoot For “Professional Griefers” Video Feat. Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)

Electronic superstar Deadmau5 has released a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot for the upcoming music video for “Professional Griefers”. The song comes off the upcoming album > album title goes here < (iTunes), which comes out Sept. 25th, and features Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. The video will apparently be the highest-cost electronic music video ever and really does look like it’ll be a lot of fun. The premise is that Deadmau5 and Gerard Way are in a Max Max Thunderdome-esque cage at the controls for gigantic robots that duke it out. It’s kinda like Robot Jox (remember that movie?) meets the UFC.

You can watch the video below as well as stream the full song. READ MORE

Deadmau5 Played A Lot Of Limbo For This New Music Video

It’s no secret that electronic artist Deadmau5 is a big gamer. He’s very big on Minecraft and has appeared in some very entertaining YouTube videos (I’m looking at you Yogscast). But now the mouse-headed musician has released a video for “The Veldt” that shows a lot of inspiration and admiration for the XBLA darling Limbo (review). From the unique art style to the character movement, it’s pretty obvious that Deadmau5 was a big fan of the indie smash hit.

The video tell the tale of a boy and a girl (brother and sister?) who walk through the wilds of Africa, taking in the sights. This includes a lion feeding, vultures scavenging, running through the ribcage of an elephant (or something similarly large), climbing a mountain, and much more. It’s a fun, relatively short video that is well worth checking out below. READ MORE

[Original] My Problem With Autotune

“To me, this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what’s most important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play and instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do. It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here (points to heart) and it’s about what goes on in here (points to head).” – Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
Shortly after Dave Grohl gave the above acceptance speech at the 2012 Grammy Awards, he and his band, Foo Fighters, played alongside David Guetta, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Deadmau5. Three of those four are very guilty of blatant autotune use while Deadmau5 is an electronic artist whose musical work completely relies upon his knowledge of computers and computerized music. Therefore, he gets a pass. But still, there is this lingering stench of hypocrisy.

Album Review: The Real Tuesday Weld ‘The Last Werewolf: A Soundtrack’

When I first heard that The Real Tuesday Weld’s album, The Last Werewolf: A Soundtrack was the soundtrack to a book, I was slightly taken aback. I’d never really heard of a book having a soundtrack before. A movie? Of course. A video game? Duh! But a book? That seemed somewhat far-fetched for me. Listening to the album, however, cleared everything up. The question is, did it clear it up and make me want to read the book or did it fail in drumming up any interest at all. Check out after the jump for all the details!

My Latest Mix Issue 1

So, I’m gonna try a new article series for you readers where I post the track list of the latest mix CD that I made. I still don’t have an MP3 player aside from my Droid (never saw the use for one), so I still resort to making mixes for my car. 

There are two things I hope to get from this: 
1) I want a chance to show other styles of music that I listen to. I’m not ONLY a metalhead, y’know? I try to listen to all styles of music, from classical to jazz to metal to pop to electronica to traditional folk and everything in between. And this leads me to…
2) I hope that by doing this, many of you readers will find new artists to check out. What’s better than finding new music that you really enjoy? I love finding new artists to check out!
So, after the jump, you’ll find the track list of the latest mix CD I made (in the same order) along with a YouTube video (if there is one) for you to check out songs right away!
Make sure to leave a comment if you like or dislike this article idea. If you love this idea and are artistically inclined and want to create ‘My Latest Mix’ logo for following articles, send me a PM to my BD username: Phantasmagoria666. If your logo gets picked, you’ll definitely be credited!
