Finish Him: New Music Video from Wolfie’s Just Fine Induces Warm ‘Mortal Kombat 2’ Nostalgia [Watch]
Whether he’s singing a beautiful song from the perspective of a Graboid in the Tremors franchise or waxing poetic about Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, musician Jon Lajoie (aka Wolfie’s Just Fine) has proven himself to be a master of pop culture nostalgia, carving out a unique niche for himself with his surprisingly tender and thoughtful reflections on the past.
Lajoie is back for the Halloween season with a brand new Wolfie’s Just Fine single, and this time around he’s penned a loving ode to Mortal Kombat 2. As always, Lajoie approaches the topic from a highly personal point of view. As he explains in the video’s brief description, “This is a song about the very first time I felt good at something. I was 13. True story.”
Featuring animation by Fred Heidbrink, the official music video for “Mortal Kombat 2” is now live (stream the song here), and it finds Lajoie reflecting on his own personal childhood experience with the classic Mortal Kombat 2 arcade game. “You can make the whole class laugh by making fun of my teeth… but there is one thing you can’t do,” Lajoie sings.
“You can’t beat me… at Mortal Kombat 2.”
We all had our own “Mortal Kombat 2” growing up. That one thing that made us feel, as Lajoie notes, “good at something.” This is his loving tribute to that special feeling. Listen below.
New Wolfie’s Just Fine album “Everyone is Dead Expect Us” is available now!
Legendary filmmaker David Lynch had been teasing a special surprise for June 5, and all has been revealed over on the official David Lynch Theater YouTube account this morning.
Chrystabell and David Lynch are reuniting for the upcoming album Cellophane Memories, which we’ve learned Sacred Bones Records will be releasing on August 2, 2024!
To announce the album, they’ve also launched an official video for the track ‘Sublime Eternal Love.’ The video, seen below, was directed and photographed by David Lynch himself.
Performed by Chrystabell, the new music video was produced by Sabrina S. Sutherland, and it features Camera – Lighting, and Audio Assistance by Riley Lynch and Michael Barile.
You can pre-order and pre-save Cellophane Memories now.
Detailed in a press release, the album “comes from a vision that David experienced during a nighttime walk through a forest of tall trees, over the tops of which he saw a bright light. As he recalls it, the light became the lilt of Chrystabell’s voice and revealed a secret to him.”
“Elisions in time reappear over and over within Chrystabell’s vocals, which emerge and dissolve and loop back in layers of harmony and history,” the press release announcing the brand new album continues. “They are mantled by David’s, and late composer Angelo Badalamenti’s, orchestra of waldeinsamkeit-inspired strings, oneiric guitar glissandi and clouds of reverb, whose melodies are like the sensation of time pausing for a first kiss.”
A singer and actress, Chrystabell appeared in Lynch’s “Twin Peaks: The Return,” and previously worked with David Lynch on the albums This Train and Somewhere in the Nowhere.
