The Wid Eyes -Vampire Radio


The Wild Eyes are a ZA band fronted by Nikhil Singh. The band have produced some amazing, goth tainted surf rock over the years, their live performances are a sight to behold and they enjoy a cult following.
The band on its own is great but my fascination lies with Nikhil. He he is multi-talented "artist"'; he writes, he draws graphic Novels like Salem Brownstone and fronts a phenomenal band as well as doing some solo stuff. Whatever medium he utilizes, his raw reality-shattering vision pierces through.
This new video appears to be a bit of a departure from the older gothy stuff and a reckless venture into the future with a kewl cyber-punk swagger and a glich glam aesthetic.In2it!

S4LEM - SiCK (((Nu Vid>>


Oh yeah, new video by witch-hoppers SALEM. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta give the niggas credit for totally killing it in 2010 with their evil antics and genre-name controversy(Rape-gaze, WTF?). Internet sensations and ideal meme material, its hard to look past the hype and analyze the art.
I'm interested in these cats for a number of reasons, apart from being on the vanguard of the alternative scene, they represent the depraved beauty of a civilization on the brink of self-destruction. They are an artistic representation of the point at which, globalization, multiculturalism, mass-consumption and information overload collide and frazzle up into waves of shimmering reverb.
This might sound dramatic and bit OTT and I'll admit that essentially they're just a bunch of indie retards who grew up with too much gangsta rap and bad drugs, but I also see them as being the vessels for something much bigger than Pitchfork and rest of the hipsterised bloggosphere. The dark and restless feeling that builds just before something really nasty/weird/life-changing happens.
I dunno, maybe I'm the only fan out there that reads this deep into music that is essentially shoved off as "music for druggies, by druggies". But on a base level the lo-fi imagery is mad dope, the content is lekker NSFW noggal and everybody likes a good horror/sex/violence combo.

Komputer Liebe


Bought this Disc when I was a young lad getting into electronic music. I liked the album artwork and was enchanted by the synths and melancholic laments on a not yet full realised digital age.
30 years on since its release date I still kinda feel its a relavant piece of art. Its sat comfortably in my electronically altered soul for a number of years now and I still feel static waves vibing out, via the cortex, when I jam the "computer love" mp3 thru my ipod on the bus ride home after a working a nightshift. I stare up at all the lit up apartments flashing by and bask in the obscure ecstacy of alienation, a thousands lonely evenings, everybody in their box just wanting to reach out to someone somewhere. I guess the great consolation of living in the city is knowing that there so many ppl all feeling the same.
