I woke up about an hour early the other day and couldn't get back to sleep because the bassline from the Ssion version of "Credit In The Straight World" was repeating over and over in my head.

Song Coeur de Pirate ~ " Comme des Enfants " myspace plays: 46,592 mp3 download (via fabulist ) Coeur de Pirate, aka Beatrice Martin, is based out of Quebec (which explains the French) and released her album on September 16th.

My online BFF Cody's band, SSION , just went on tour with CSS to the west coast. Unfortunately I wasn't there to catch their show with Bridez (see below, and they have some new songs up on their myspace that are awesome ) during one of the stops on that whole adventure, but I will be seeing them come December during two nights at Webster Hall. Somehow I stumbled upon the above CSS video and I think it's really awesome. SSION is also brilliant as usual. Here, look at his documentary, which I [...]

In the six years I've lived in Chicago, I've seen the nightlife landscape explode. Through all the twists and turns, there was one event that always stood out from the rest and embraced individuality over trends. Attended by a cast of colorful characters and pansexual partiers, and never afraid to push the envelope and embrace the artistic and Avant-garde, OUTDANCED was a refreshing take on a nightlife scene which was growing more homogeneous by the day. For the past two and a half years, every Tuesday night, Scott Cramer and Jillian Valentino [...]

A Sound Once Forgotten by Brittany Julious There's something about the overall state of independent music to absolutely loathe right now. It's not enough to just complain that a favorite artist has sold out. I don't like the phrase and I hate that concept. Anyone with any knowledge of the music business, especially the independent music business, understands the repercussions inherent in producing music through an independent label. If a gross amount of the once music-purchasing population is now using such download programs as [...]

I spent most of the summer in a new music funk, disappointed by the quality of the releases invading my headspace, and turning to neglected records from the past to comfort me in my disillusionment. The tide seems to be turning, though I'm not sure what it's connected to. Perhaps the sustained temperate air of New York's unusually generous August? Maybe I just looked a little harder for some, and then the blogosphere rewarded me for my efforts by spitting out the rest? It matters little. As I have in all the melted months since I've been associated with MS, [...]
Ssion - "A Wolves Eye" The only thing more exciting than new Ssion music is new Ssion videos - "A Wolves Eye" is the centerpiece of Ssion's unique vision. Ritualistic synchronized dancing around a bon fire, wolf men, hellish imagery, and, um, is that a woman in a hood eating smores? It's awkward, funny, somewhat stylish and totally timely. Ssion also re-worked a song off an album that shaped my early music tastes... then & now Ssion's update breathes new life and meaning into "Credit in the Straight World": [...]
By FLANNERY CASHILL Multitaskers the Ssion posted two new videos this week and revealed their talents for both public access television and black magic. The first video comes from Chicago's surrealist children's show, Chic-a-go-go . The second, a half-speed remix of "A Wolves Eye", comes (most probably) from the sexual imagination of a feral child, rehabilitated and forced to suffer the dual trauma of scouting and religious education. At least, that's our best guess.

A slab of Ssion is always a great way to the end the day, so let's get into it. Ssion man Cody Critcheloe remains busy: He took a director's credit on Tilly & The Wall's Beat Control ," gave his mom a punk makeover " Ah-Ma ," and later hit us with the trashy radness of " Day Job ." And yet none of that prepared me for Cody's latest directorial effort, this time for Fools Gold track "A Wolves Eye," which he describes as "David Lynch-meets-Jean Paul Gaultier with a little big of Gregg Araki and [...]
Reach for an enema boys because Ssion is invading bars all across the America and making their west coast debut this fall. Judging by their pictures and their sound... they are hungry!! If you don't know who Ssion is well you've been missing out on some hot, flavorful, colorful tracks. Glass Candy has remixed one of their tracks, you can see the video for it riiight here: You can hear some of their tracks on the Ssion MySpace page [...]
All-ages shows are scarce these days, which is why we feel it our duty to hype the Gravy Train show at the Record Bar this early evening, even if we don't include all four exclamation marks and despite their barf-inducing website. Witch & Hare open at 6:30 p.m., and things get nasty at 7:00 when the Ssion plays their first local show in a hot minute. Watch out for sixteen year old girls in lamé bodysuits and grind with prudence.
