King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Unveil New "Black Hot Soup (DJ Shadow "My Own Reality" Re-Write) Music Video from Butterfly 3001 Remix Album [KGWL]

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's "Black Hot Soup" (DJ Shadow "My Own Reality" Re-Write) Video Still

This past Friday, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released a new single and music video for "Black Hot Soup" (DJ Shadow "My Own Reality" Re-Write) from their forthcoming remix album. Following last month's "Neu Butterfly" (Peaches Remix) and "Shanghai" (Dub By The Scientist,) King Gizzard continue their star-studded remix streak with "Black Hot Soup" (DJ Shadow "My Own Reality" Re-Write) and expand on it with an accompanying video directed by John Angus Stewart, starring iconic Australian author, satirist, radio presenter, and documentary-maker John Safran and featuring appearances from Alkiviadis Grapsas & John Dimoulas. "'Black Hot Soup" is an almost perfect way to describe the world as we know it in the present. A bubbling, thick, sticky, confusing angry place that seems to be made for generations long past. Therefore, I wanted to portray a character, somehow, revelling in the chaos, dancing on the ashes of society. There is an inherent freedom watching someone hitting bottom so hard with a smile," shared director John Angus Stewart.


"To me, it's a non-cynical representation of expression through music! As DJ Shadow fully re-worked "Black Hot Soup," I cast John Safran to fully re-work the song again within a performance. Calling it a "dance" is a stretch, I'd call it more of a full-body dry heave," Stewart continued. King Gizzard's Joey Walker elaborates: "We've put off doing a remix album for a long time. Maybe, it was conscious; maybe, it wasn't, but it's happening now. That's not to say that Butterfly 3000 makes the most sense to remix. It might seem like the obvious one, but it's not. Yes, it's Electronic, but so is a fridge. Have you tried to dance to Butterfly [3000]? It's hard. It ties your shoelaces together. It's duplicitous in its simplicity, but Butterfly 3001 expands on this. It, also, deviates and obliterates. We're honoured to have such esteemed people go to work on these songs. We hope you love this album as much as we do. See you in DA CLUB!!!" King Gizzard & Three Lizard Wizard's Butterfly 3001 comes out 1/21 on KGLW.

"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...

[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...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
