New Interpol Video - "Rest My Chemistry" (Unofficial, But Endorsed!)

We've all seen unofficial music videos -- clips that folks who dig a band make because ... they dig a band. Some work out great like "My Body Is A Cage" or HEALTH's "Heaven," and others are better left to the dustbin. Well, Aaron Koblin, a visual artist/Interpol fan, put together a tech-y video for "Rest My Chemistry" with the help of his production company, Blip Boutique. He wanted to adapt the technology he uses for his art to make a kind of art piece for the song. As the production company noted:

We wanted to do something for this song that was not specifically intended for broadcast, but that was more of an art piece that would live and grow primarily online. We wanted to use a new technology using data mapping to create an abstract video.

The result looks like biological -- or, right, chemical -- fireworks. Or Tron. Interpol was contacted about the project, liked it, and endorsed it. Does that make it official? We're not sure, but it's definitely a striking accompaniment to those starry, Pixie-ish guitar licks and Paul's baritone. - Source

Frank Black to Open for Stone Temple Pilots

Oh so long ago, there was a band from Boston called Pixies. They were very, very good. A guy named Kurt-- who you probably know from another very, very good band called Nirvana-- heard those Pixies, cribbed what he could, added a few more primary influences and plenty of his own touches, and became very famous as a result. - Source

Dandy Warhols Offer Free MP3 Off New Album

It has been a roller coaster of a ride for The Dandy Warhols. They always had a love/hate relationship with their (now former) record label, which is why it is no surprise that their brand new album, Earth To The Dandy Warhols, will be released on their own Beat The World Records - Source

New Stereolab Video - "Three Women"

Last week we posted "Three Women" from Stereolab's forthcoming Chemical Chords, their first proper album in four years. They've gone and created a video for the sunny, horn-y strutter. The visuals fit well with the album art's loopy geometry. The images don't go to far to helping us figure that out the "three women" of the song title, but they should go well with your lava lamp, shag rug and de Chirico (or, in name, Picasso) prints. Turn on, tune in, and etc.
