Die Antwoord's first album '$.O.$.' was a fun little novelty record from some truly batshit crazy South Africans who rhyme in both English and Afrikaans. There were some good tracks on the album, like the song that put them on the international map, "Enter The Ninja", but overall the record was a little blah. Aside from a few standout tracks the ( Read more... )

I have no idea what this footage of a girl taking a shower...and then a bath...has to do with Lemonade's song, "Neptune", other than Neptune being the god of water and the sea, but the stupidity of this semi-metaphor does nothing to diminish how awesome the song is.

One of my favorite new discoveries lately is Noir Cœur, a surf rock/synth pop duo from France who make dreamy, fuzzed-out music for the beach. You can't help but hear the waves crashing in your head when you listen to these songs, so it makes sense that David Dean Burkhart spliced together some footage of windsurfing for the "Wet Souls" video, ( Read more... )

I just love the beginning of this video, with the shot of the creepy guy under the bridge intercut ( Read more... )

Welcome to C'est Non Un Blog After Dark. Sébastien Tellier's latest single off of his new album 'My God Is Blue' is a straight up disco ode to hedonism and depravity. Like a demented Satanist pied piper he works a crowd into an orgy of sex and violence. I won't lie to you, it's a crazy fucking video, but new Sébastien Tellier music is always ( Read more... )

This video is a well shot, if somewhat overly literal, visual metaphor for the song "Lies". It features a stripper who goes home with guys she meets at the club, whom the song informs us tell her that they love her, but that's all lies. All of that is intercut with footage of vultures, which if I'm guessing correctly (and I know I am), are a ( Read more... )
