Paul McCartney - Dance Tonight (2007) Dir. Michel Gondry So In case you didn't know, the official 2009 Coachella lineup was released last week with the headliners Paul McCartney, The Killers, and The Cure. As well as dozens of smaller bands like Golden Bloggen favorites The Crookers, Crystal Castles , and Clipse . There has been some mixed reviews about the line up, but personally I think Coachella is always a great party with tons of great bands. True there are none of those explosive headliners like Rage, Daft Punk, [...]

Ladies and gentlemen learn, meet, listen, know, and love BLENDE . Blende aka Johan hails from the impressively growing UK Electro movement. Blende makes STRONG beats, that remind me of my favorite DJ/ Producer of all time, DJ Premier of GANGSTARR . The way that his beats come with a heavy driving bassline with a clean, defined, crisp track laced over it. When you hear a Primo track you know its a primo track... and after listening to Blende for the past couple of years, a Blende beat is starting to register the same way in [...]
Futurecop! came back to LA last Saturday to grace us with their mystical, magical 80's induced synth-pop as they rocked the the Echoplex. It was my first time seeing them live and it definitely wont be my last. Peep the their teaser video from that night and listen to the song from the video below. Futurecop! - Transformers I sat down to interview the guys before the show. Here's what they had to say. How did Futurecop start? [...]
Animal Collective - My Girls Dir. Chad von Nau and Jon Vermilyea So the title says it all. I'm posting new videos I've seen recently that I'm really feeling.

The new album has been getting a lot of buzz and people are calling it the best thing Animal Collective has done by far. This It's hard to find good new music videos these days, but one place that never lets [...]

Bjork - All is Full of Love (1999) First off I want to wish everyone a happy MLK Day. Hope you all have the day off. Secondly, I know we have a lot of new viewers here at Golden Bloggen, so let me reintroduce MUSIC VIDEO MONDAY. Every Monday I strive to bring the greatest music videos to the masses. They always have a running theme, maybe a director,decade, or a genre. So today I am celebrating Chris Cunningham . He is one of the greatest visionaries of our time. His videos are [...]
Outkast - "Hey Ya" (2003) Dir. Bryan Barber I'm sure most of you have noticed how much Hip-hop sucks recently. Artists like T-Pain, Nelly, and Flo-Rida are not only killing the art-form, but they look like clowns while they do it. But there are those few Black artists who are holding it down with real music. That funky, crazy shit, reminiscent of Sly & The Family Stone, Grace Jones, and George Clinton. So I am christening these artists the [...]
