MTV’s got a pretty rad new site up that makes finding non crappy-ripped-from-that-VHS-tape-circa-1987-quality (coughcoughyoutube) music videos easy - and kind of fun (love the search by label and director feature.)
So, in honor of the channel that once killed the radio star (yes, I AM looking at youBoston,) please press play and enjoy. Then share and embed and digg and twitter, and all that other stuff.
Still delivers the goods (oh what, you don’t get a little shiver starting around 2:25? yeah, right.)
Ms Stern may have fallen a bit short of the world record for longest album title but it’s probably no contest that This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That will be in way heavier rotation on the trusty KLH here than Fiona’s goodbutnotquitegreat When The Pawn… LP ever was.
Before losing a few percent of hearing capacity at Knitting Factory last year with Safetybear, the vibrational match that is In Advance of the Broken Arm had been magically melting my speakers for about 6 months straight. Can not wait for UPS to show up with 180 grams of vinyly-goodness sequel.
Two Tass Times faves, No Age and Yelle, are currently vying for a Woodie Award over at mtvu.com. Please proceed with your civic duty and cast a vote for either of them to ensure that quality music prevails for the sake of all humanity. Obama will win too, if you do. For reals. We promise.

Tass Times’ very own, and unambiguously charming, Tinto Puerco shall be joining the obliquely infamous Franklin Snarl, Esq. to celebrate their 1-year of togetherhood pseudonomically, and otherwise, at Bowery Ballroom’s presentation of the eternally entertaining Wedding Present this October. And so, for your pre-vicarious viewing pleasure, we hereby present a solid example of the unparalleled shredmastery…
I’m still feeling the fascination from this song. It is, as other posters will say, “the perfect pop song”. And then the conversation turned. And many fantasies were learned. On that, and future, days.

If I remember correctly, some former members of the Human League made a baby, moved to Australia or something and started a band called Babel. Though I can’t prove it…..
Oh wait, thanks to the Goog, it was actually the Thompson Twins that started a new band called Babble which had a pretty good album back in the day. At least that’s how I remember it anyway.
Somehow I lump these two groups together. Two very good 80’s bands with similar-enough styles.
Also there is another band called Babel. Which is some good chillout electronic stuff.
Keep feeling fasci-nayy-shu-un!

According to their Myspace page, “Nortec Collective emerged from the burgeoning Tijuana electronic scene, performing a style of music that they invented called Nortec - a fusion of Norteño (”from the North”) and Techno, documenting the collision between the style and culture of electronica music, characterized by hard dance beats, and samples from traditional forms of Mexican music.”
Well, ¡cada día se aprende algo nuevo!
