Shock Me, Shock Me: Death Grips - "Lock your doors" (NoHands 6)_DXDG




Last week, Death Grips uploaded 5 minute-long semi-cryptic clips dubbed "No Hands" (Parts 1-5), which I hesitated on posting because I kinda figured there'd be more info revealed shortly. Sure enough, by mid-Wednesday afternoon, Death Grips had uploaded the next installment of their video series, "Lock your doors" (NoHands 6). Drummer/band leaded Zach Hill further elaborated in a short [yet effective] statement, "They are a series of videos related to our recent first-person performance @ SXSW 2013, DXDG. "Lock your doors" (NoHands 6), which drops today is the summarization of the concept and project.. It could keep going.. NoHands is in reference to the head perspective-oriented filming.." It's culled from footage filmed @ the band's recent SXXW (or DXDG) show @ Boiler Room, which may or may not have used Google Glass technology or some sort of face-mounted goggle-cams. The live audio and crowd-sourced rumblings have been subsequently re-mixed/mastered against Death Grips' righteous NO LOVE DEEP WEB studio tracks.


Keep in mind that just last year: The self-proclaimed "non-commercial" Noise-Punk/Hip-Hop band signed an ill-fated major label deal with Epic Records and quite hastily, promised 2 full-lengths by year's end. Once the relationship with label exec. and X-Factor judge, L.A. Reid started to sour... engineer Andy "Flatlander" Morin quit the band, private emails were leaked online, and Death Grips ultimately self-released NO LOVE DEEP WEB complete with dick pic cover art. Needless to say, Epic soon dropped Death Grips as Nov. 1, 2012 approached and they've remained relatively quiet ever since. "Come up and get me," a largely silent short film was captured @ the band's make-shift Chateu Marmont headquarters where they finished up and eventually leaked NO LOVE DEEP WEB; Death Grips unleashed the 13-minute black-and-white clip @ the brink of 2013, after almost 2 months-worth of complete media silence. Who knows if MC Ride & Zach Hill will ever do business with a major label again or better yet, how they'll manage to shock and appall the world next!

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
