Out Of Touch: A True Story Of How MTV Treated One Independent Band

“…the trials and tribulations of one hardworking independent band [Team Robespierre] whose efforts to land their low budget video [embedded here] on MTV resulted in the loss of more than just not seeing it aired.”

Crocodiles - I Wanna Kill

I downloaded this album from Amie Street yesterday, and this track was one of the ones that stood out on the subway ride home; it appears that a fair number of other people downloaded it yesterday and liked it, if the Tweetmachine is any indication. Love the ’80s-ness of it. - whitneymcn

Warp’s new website is up, designed by Universal Everything.  It’s dangerously close to information overload; it took me a second to figure out where exactly I should be looking for what.  But I think it works.  I’m definitely into the use of huge images and streaming media — audio AND video — which can be embedded other places.  Also cool to see their various film efforts integrated into the main site; I assume this is the reason they changed the domain from warprecords.com to simply warp.net.
In related news, I just downloaded this old Warp release off eMusic, and I’m totally enjoying it.  Some if it sounds like what might have happened had Bleep decided to step a little closer to Trance, and that’s totally OK with me.  Once you go there — which I totally did, in high school — you can never fully go back.  Maybe.
