New Hercules & Love Affair Video - "Blind" (Feat. Antony)
This is one helluva video from Brooklyn-based disco-funked DFA crew Hercules & Love Affair, aka the project of Andrew Butler here with Antony on vox. Antony sounds great singing about stars and their brightness. The pea-soup fog, Biblical dancers, Solid Gold orgy, and two-faced king/queen of the video? Pretty damn fabulous.
Some Sodom & Gomorrah shit. The forthcoming album also has vocals from Kim Ann and Nomi. It's out on DFA/EMI in Europe 3/10 and sometime after that in the US. If you type in some personal demographic info and don't mind being on a mailing list, you can get a free copy of "Hercules Theme" here. And listen to some more at MySpace.

Ok, so I saw the link to this whole thing from myspace, I'd never heard of stereogum.com, but I think I will soon to be a regular visitor. Anyway I don't know the best way of getting something somewhere where Chris, Jason, Nick or Ben will get to read it, but I hope this works, because bassicly honestly one of my life goals is to talk to one of you, or all, just about music and your life, and my life in music. I'm 14, and currently in an Indie Folk Pop band from Olympia, Washington. We've been doing some local shows and local recordings are are just getting into the world of music. myspace.com/watch4traces if you'd like to listen to it it would seriousy make my life to know sombody of your talent and music knowledge has listened to our music. So I often wonder about your real lives, or outside of the press and interviews. Like do you ever take a moment and realize what your doing with your life, and just slow down and be like, "Whooo I'm playing music, for my life, and before I die I'm going to look back on this, and contemplate if it was what I wanted to do" and of course you'll say yes, or Ben might say "fuck no, Short stop for the Seattle Mariners, but they didn't do so good this year anyway so maybe not. So I always wonder about musicians childhoods, because I'm a musician and a child and just wondering how your life compared to how mine currently is. Do you remember your first show. If so and its sentimental, would you ever think of going back and trying to replicate that show as close as possible, or is it sorta the has passed thing? So I'd love to just talk music with you guys, and do things you did in your past, such as jam, but none of that cover jam or unproductive un-fun. My bandmate and I made a jam called "Call of the Birds" and itsl ike an african tribal jam that we've done in pitch black for like 50 minutes non stop, sorta like I will possess your heart, we made it before it was release tho so its not like a copy. So I feel like I've completly blew any opprotunity I'll ever get of actually talking to any of you about one of the greatest things ever music, something so beautiful, and creative.
