Be honest now. Raise your hand if you feed rocks to children in the park on your free time.
You there in the back, don't be shy.

The all mighty sovereign of animal flesh has been serving it up your way for decades and it's safe to say its old marketing know-how has suddenly taken a turn for the...I don't know...slithery? The jingles are still pure gold, through and through.

Remember Stratego? Scrabble? A good game of Whist? Well...step aside old lady! Kids don't give a hoot about brain power. They want something that beeps and flashes and pumps REAL food at them. It's time to get young!

Look. Three things never stop growing on your face: nose, ears and fangs. Some talented writer put those three things together with an extra dosage of bad haircuts, cool jackets and Al Lewis. That writer's name is Michael Heath. Remember him? Me neither.

Technically, I'm a child of the 80s. But...come on man! I had nothing to do with stuff like this. I was too busy pondering the likelihood that Robert Stack was an extraterrestrial and that at any moment, regardless of how careful I was, my arm would be bitten off by a sewer-dwelling clown. Meanwhile a whole generation of youngsters were being plagued by the likes of The Motels. Dios mio, man...

In promoting their new album, Valtari, Sigur Ros has put a call out to film directors—make us some bizarre music videos, couldyaplease? And the result: The Valtari Mystery Film Experiment, a series of 12 conceptual music videos, unleashed every couple of weeks this summer following the album's release date on May 23rd.
Here's director Ragnar Kjartansson's vision of the album's opener, Ég anda. The film's respiratory theme seemed odd until I found the title's English translation: I breathe. Nothing like a breath of fresh air, huh? Check it out below—and for more information swing on by the Sigur Ros website.

Here's a semi-new preview of Jonny Greenwood's score to the upcoming film The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson's new project about a WWII veteran struggling to reconnect with society, instead finding himself welcomed into a new religion called The Cause.
The film—which is bound to be all kinds of unsettling—stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams. It's out September 21st. Listen to a portion of the score below.

Animal Collective has apparently turned around and run the other direction since their 2009 hit Merriweather Post Pavilion. Here's the official video for "Today's Supernatural" from AnCo's new record Centipede Hz, due out on September 4th.
I've always considered the band to be one enveloped in frequencies—from the metallic grating of Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished to the warm hum of Feels to the dripping wavelengths of MPP. And now, with Centipede, the band has packed up their sound and jumped into the sun! Take in the new frequencies at Animal Collective Radio. How splendid!
