Caribou / Fuck Buttons - TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

There was a little scare yesterday concerning whether or not Caribou were going to cancel some shows on their current tour (including the Athens date) due to an injury suffered by their drummer on 3/30...well worry no more, Caribou has found a replacement drummer and the shows are still on! This would've been a serious bummer, since I've been anxiously awaiting this show for months now. Plans were made, people are involved (I'm pretty sure that some of them are prone to crying ;) ), but now it's back on and I AM EXCITED! This is sure to be one hell of a show, I strongly suggest you scrape up 12 bucks and hit this up.

Wed. 4/02/08 - Caribou, Fuck Buttons @ The 40 Watt Club

NEW SONG: Ladytron "Black Cat"

Ladytron just released a track from their forthcoming album, Velocifero, which is out June 3rd via Nettwerk.

VIDEO: The Billionaires "Eighties Movies"

VIDEO: Björk "Wanderlust"

Now this is how you make a music video, leave it to Björk to push the envelope, yet again (her videos are always my favorites)! The guys from from Encyclopedia Pictura (who directed this), are bad-asses...this is my pick for video of the year, hands down (I'm pretty sure no one's gonna top this one anytime soon, probably not until Björk makes her next video ;) ). Watch a bigger version here. They are planning on releasing the 3-D version of this video soon, and you can get your free 3-D glasses here.
