TRASH FASHION: It's A Rave Dave

Have you ever been so overworked that the only thing you want to do after getting home at 10:00pm is go straight to bed? Hence my absence. I really don't have much energy left. Except for goofilicious new ravey "Guntronic - Disco - Warehouse - Rock." Reeking of East London douchbagism, the four piece mix everything that is wrong with kids today and makes it brilliant. Watch the music video (qt).

KLAXONS: It's Not Over Yet

New rave poster boys Klaxons have a special relationship with director Saam. On their latest video, the boys suit up in avant garde samurai suits and sword to take on sentient triangloids in a Aeon Flux like future state. It markes their third collaboration with the director and perhaps a trinity of eye bleeding and smashing stuff with sticks. Colourful. Watch the music video (qt).

KLAXONS: Golden Skans

Psychedelic pop or new rave? London's Klaxons' second music video lifted off their recently released debut, Myths Of The Near Future, will perhaps tip your assessment to the indie rock camp. However, if you are a model stalking Fashion Week celebutard, you probably would have heard a dozen repetitions of various Klaxon remixes dominating both catwalk and fashion pack after-party while drinking rosé with P. Diddy and Stam. Meanwhile, for the rest of us normal body-fat indexed people, we have this video to enjoy, directed by SAAM and featuring costumes that could have easily come off some avant garde London runway. Klaxons apparently giving Fischerspooner a run for their money. Cheers to Pioner for the tip. Watch the music video (qt).

KLAXONS: Magick

Oh boy. Here comes the waves of hype like a freaking tidal wave. The fine London purveyors of New Rave (I know, it just sounds manufactured by overzealous music journalists) are on the precipice of kicking down some hip youth demographic myspacian threshold of critical and more-relevant-than-thou success. And by success, I mean shifting a bunch of CD's via Urban Outfitters and the rest being file shared through MP3 blogs and the like. And while the music is an interesting mash-up of white rock, electro and punk genres, it's ultimate test will be how it fares with that fickle North American audience, which has become so fractured and unrecognizable to mainstream programmers, they tragically default to tried and true (i.e. bankable) pap such as blingy hip-hop R&B, and expired alt-rock regurge from the mid-90's. This literally eye-bleeding video is directed by Saam. Watch the music video (qt).
