A previously unreleased, never-before seen ‘lost video’ from Wu Tang Clan’s 2001 album Iron Flag.
Turn it up nice and loud in the office.
A version of ‘Love the Bomb’ by London-based band Bold Things.
Performed in Co. Louth. Filmed and edited by Claire Byrne
(Thanks Jim O’Donoghue Martin)
You know those Magic Eye books where you cross your eyes to see the images?
Well here’s a video version from band Young Rival.
Punching the monitor doesn’t help. We’ve tried. Here’s another version which might be easier to see. Or not.
MissKate – Took The Life (Black Magic Mix)
Miss Kate sez:
One singer, one iPhone, one song, one take, no post production, no editing…only Miss Kate!
G’wan the Kate!

Eclectic muso Elijah Aaron overdubs an extremely passable cover of TLC’s 90s hit.
He also does a nifty version of Paul Simon’s Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes.
Plastic Infinite is an illustrated picture disk by UK electronica duo Sculpture which animates as it plays the track of the same name under a strobe light or when filmed (as above) at 25 frames per second.
You can name your price when buying one here but, perhaps understandably, it’s currently sold out.
Of this rather excellent sample of sampled and resampled sampling, Eclectic Method sez:
A video remix journey through the history of sampling taking in some of the most noted breaks and riffs of the decades. A chronological journey from the Beatles’ use of the Mellotron in the 60s to the sample dense hiphop and dance music of the 80s and 90s. Each break is represented by a vibrating vinyl soundwave exploding into various tracks that sampled it, each re-use another chapter in the modern narrative.

Damn right.
Cavan’s finest The Strypes stormed it last night on Conan.
The audience have never seen anything like it.
As most weren’t born after 1964.
Retro fight!
The Strypes play LA’s fabled Troubador TONIGHT should you be knocking around West Hollywood.
They have a combined age of 37.
Thirty seven.
