Cool but I think I still like the original better...

Described by Vim himself as "kind of Prince meet David Bowie meet Vim Cortez." Agree?

New music: New Boyz - "You're a Jerk"
Did these guys just jack Cool Kids entire steez?!?! Apparently this song is the official anthem for a new dance spreading on YouTube called The Jerk.

Teaser video for the forthcoming Bad Brains Documentary
One of the greatest (and unheralded) groups ever! Apparently this is not an official trailer as they are still actually collecting material (film/video, photo, audio, flyers, etc.) for the documentary. Email them here if you have stuff.

Video: J*Davey Live at the Afro Punk Festival
These guys are actually getting better but they still need something hookier to get them even as far as Santogold has gone. Jazmine Sullivan would probably be considered the gold standard for what they ought to be doing to succeed but even Janelle Monáe makes way better records than them right now and she still can't get her sh-t off they way it ought to despite all the critcial acclaim & tastemaker buzz she's gotten.

New video: The Dallas Austin Experience - "Exasperated"
Ravetastic!
I had been curious to check out this new group project by superstar producer, Dallas Austin when they played during CMJ but I was way too swamped with work to make it out. Luckily Thanhyen at the Frontside Group sent me these clips:
The Dallas Austin Experience - "Exasperated (Live at Santo’s Party House, CMJ 2008)"
Not sure what to make of it now that I've seen it. Others?
