Classic Nick Cave from 1994. Creepy Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled, and the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle…

But if you do, at least they’ll dance around in your blood and fuck with your corpse for awhile. At least that’s what seems to be the theme of their new video for “Inside the Fire” which opens with a suicide prevention PSA by frontman David Draiman, but then moves directly to a scene of some broad hanging herself, complete with sound effects. He then takes a minute to kick it with the corpse for awhile, while the rest of his band dances around in the blood, before Draiman himself gives becoming an hero a good college try, being saved at the last second by magically transporting himself into a looney bin. Kind of a fucked up concept but at they’re trying, I guess. I interviewed the band a few years ago and when guitarist Dan Donegan mentioned that the band was seeing “four and five-year old kids singing the lyrics to their songs at the shows” I asked him if he was ever worried that some of their subject matter, such as a video with people killing themselves, might be a little bit much for fans of that age to comprehend and he, needless to say, a little nonchalant:

“Like I said, everybody may have a different point of view, they may get the wrong message. We can’t really do anything about that”

Ha! And our parents thought it was bad when we listened to too much Dr. Dre and started calling each other “niggas” and our classmates “bitches.” Let’s see how kids raised on a steady diet of Disturbed end up during their teen years.

News media has been invited to view footage that purportedly shows a four-foot tall alien tomorrow in Denver, Colorado by a man named Jeff Peckman, who is also looking to set up a local Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission to prepare Denver for what forthcoming alien contact:

An instructor at the Colorado Film School in Denver scrutinized the video "very carefully" and determined it was authentic, Peckman said.

Peckman, 54, said the video was among the reasons he was "compelled" to launch the proposed ballot initiative, which has generated news as far as South Africa.

"It shows an extraterrestrial’s head popping up outside of a window at night, looking in the window, that’s visible through an infrared camera," he said. The alien is about 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking, Peckman said earlier this month.

In a statement, Peckman said "other related credible evidence" proving aliens exist will be shown at Friday’s news conference, too.

Hmmm. Remember the last time this happened?

Just when you thought Coheed and Cambria couldn’t appeal more to nerdy teens and grown men living in their parent’s basement, comes this:

In an unprecedented move, FEARnet, the world’s premier destination for horror film enthusiasts, is set to become the exclusive host of the director’s cut of the infamous Coheed and Cambria video for their current single, “Feathers,” today, May 21. The Hitchcockian black and white video, is a dark comedy, directed by Marc Klasfeld (Gnarls Barkley, Foo Fighters, Bloodhound Gang) and focuses on a “perfect” 1950s American family who have a very naughty secret. “Feathers” stars Rena Riffel, known for her roles in “Mulholland Drive” and “Dante’s Cove,” as the cheerful stay-at-home mom ala “Ozzie and Harriet,” but this mom has more than a conniving grin. Reminiscent of the works of David Lynch and John Waters, what appears normal on the surface is not quite so when you take a closer look. Klasfeld’s cut contains mildly graphic scenes that were not in the MTV version of the video.

Check out the making of the video below, if you’re so inclined:

From Score Press’ Release:

TIME MACHINE is making a name for themselves these days… one party at a time. The trio of emcees Biscuit and Jet Set Jay, and DJ / Producer Mekalek is playing all the hot weeklies from Dim Mak Tuesdays and PYT in LA, to Roxy Cottontail’s Heartbeat in NY, and winning over fans with their seamless set of high-energy party rapping and tongue-in-cheek synchronized dance routines.

However, the east-coast bred, LA-based squad knows that every night has its last call, and that much of life is what happens before doors open the next evening. And so, on their new album, LIFE IS EXPENSIVE, the crew balances the rolling good times with a shrewd awareness of the cost of living… both literal and figurative.

After pursuing a car in a drug related attempted shooting from the North side of the city, 12 Philadelphia police officers eventually dragged three men out of the vehicle and beat the hell out of them. Unfortunately for the police, it was all caught on tape. Here comes the frenzy…
