Scapegoat's new Music Video

Just yesterday Scapegoat released their new music video for I AM ALIEN!!! Check it out!

Are Kit's blackout contacts eerie or sexy? They seem to be one and the same, so I'm not going to even try to decide. The CD release will be happening at Tremont Music Hall on 09.03.11.

On Romanian MTV

Remember how I mentioned that popular radio, clubs, and the equivalent of MTV in Romania are dominated by house music? Well, when I don't have to listen to the same 5 songs being looped continuously for long periods of time, some are actually enjoyable.
In this post I will feature some of the music videos that are popular right now.
Check behind the cut.

Jamiroquai Orange Summer Party

Whether I had to bike there, I was determined to make it to Jamiroquai's concert. Good thing I didn't, because after approximately 1 mile of overexerting myself on a bike I'm dead. Plus, the journey would have been ~20 miles. Feck that!

Jamiroquai put on a fantastic show, each song lasting about 3x longer than usual because every song's potential to be jammed out to was exploited to the fullest extent.

At some point during the show a Romanian flag was bought out, with a large print in the middle of Jamiroquai's symbol. "Jami-Ro-mania" he said. I was curious about how this would be perceived by the crowd, but the crowd responded with cheers and woots, so... not bad! At least he didn't get booed like that time Madonna tried to interfere with Roma (gypsy) perceptions that likely will never change.

There was a release of giant bouncy light balls into the large beach crowd. They were fun for about 3 minutes, until the crowd bounced them all the way into the ocean, without recuperation or recovery. The show ended with a nice fireworks show, plenty of trash on the beach, and who knows what else! I got out of there to try to navigate through the clusterfuckery of thousands of people and their cars.

I got the feeling that people who were fans were in the very front of the crowd (as per usual). Immediately following the conglomeration of fans, were people that were there to enjoy smoking drugs. The largest, outer layer of people consisted of more young people, children and parents, and whoever came out to see a fun beach show. My impression was that the largest amount of the crowd was expecting it to be a house beach party. WTF is up with this house fixation!?
