A clip from the documentary It Might Get Loud, which comes out in L.A. and New York this Friday, has been released on the Interwebs, and further demonstrates the fact that Jack White bridges the gap between man and god. In order to test White’s stripped down, fast approach to music, director Davis Guggenheim challenges him to write and record a song on camera, and he does it. In under ten minutes. And the song, “Fly Farm Blues,” can now be purchased on iTunes. We can only expect that more feats of guitar-shredding. song-smithing greatness from Mr. White as well as The Edge and Jimmy Page lie within Get Loud. (via MTV)
Technology is moving in leaps and bounds, and this latest development benefits fans of electronic music and bikini-clad models alike. In this video, electronic musician Calvin Harris paints the hands and feet of fifteen young ladies as well as his own with electrically charged paint, and then organizes their clapping and stomping to produce a perfect rendition of his single “Ready for the Weekend.” The first ever “humanthesizer” not only works beautifully, it ain’t bad to look at either, seeing as how all of the models are half naked. You’re welcome. (via Gizmodo)
The internet is a confusing place. This song clip, seeming to be a new Radiohead track, appeared unexplicably this morning on the band’s fan site At Ease. Although “These Are My Twisted Words” sounds very Yorke-ian (Ed: yikes) , the band has yet to officially confirm that the song is one of theirs. Since they’re done with recording and releasing albums, perhaps this is their new, sneaky preferred method of delivering music to the masses. (via p4k)
Although he has a new album coming out soon through Saddle Creek, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson has debuted a video for “Woodfriend,” off his self-titled debut to tie us over in the mean time. Despite the song title, the video features more trippy effects and illustrations via Houses in Motion than it does affable lumberjacks, but that’s okay with us. His follow-up album Summer of Fear, produced by TVOTR’s own Kyp Malone, comes out October 20, which is in the fall not the summer. Should be Fall of Fear. (via Stereogum)
