The Viewfinder: Nelly Furtado’s “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)”

Come on. Y’all act like you’ve never seen a person on stilts before! Lyrically, the video for “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)” the new single from Nelly Furtado’s forthcoming The Spirit Indestructible, references a passel of ’90s pop culture reference. Visually, there’s not much in relation to the song, but the video is still pretty hard to turn away from. It strikes a decent midpoint between Nelly’s hippy-dippy early work and her flossy recent work, and it’s kinda cool to [...]

The Singles Bar: Nachtmystium’s “As Made”

I can’t believe what I’m saying but if you really crave Ministry circa A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste or The Land Of Rape And Honey, then black metallers Nachtmystium are looking to fill that void for you. On “As Made” (Released as a 7″ only and not a part of their next studio album Silencing Machine due July 31st on Century Media), Nachtmystium blast back after a two year gap ready to raise the bar again. “As [...]

The Singles Bar: The Melvins “Leon Vs. The Revolution”

Barely a month away from their latest opus Freak Puke and we finally get a taste of what Melvins Lite is all about. Don’t be frightened! Melvins Lite is essentially Melvins circa 1993 with the band operating as a 3-piece with usual co-conspirators King Buzzo and Dale Crover being joined by none other than Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Mr. Bungle) on bass. “Leon Vs. The Revolution” sees Buzzo laying down some of his chunkiest riffs yet. Crover packs a wallop behind [...]

The Viewfinder: PT Walkley’s “The Way That You Are”

Sometimes a song and a video just makes you smile. I’d been procrastinating on covering singer/songwriter PT Walkley, whose album Thriller (yeah) came out about two months ago. However, in the midst of doing some research, I came across his video for “The Way That You Are,” and I had to post it. The song has a springlike, etheral vibe, and the video is pure silliness. Goofy grins, vaguely creepy “O” face-type expressions, and showers of everything from silly spring [...]
