This is so humorous to me. Love this song, love this video.

LCD Soundsystem “Home” – Houston Funwunce Edition

Sep 21, 2010 by Eggs

A couple months back, a post was sent out on our local internet message board and throughout Facebook requesting as many young hip kids as possible to gather together and shoot a video for LCD Soundsystem‘s song “Home” from their latest effort This Is Happening. Well, with a bit of acting added to all of the partying, and a Robot that eventually ends up in an drug-addled orgy scene in a hotel room, the results are now being presented for everyone to see. Created by the Funwunce Supergroup, more specifically Rick Darge and Mark Armes, they bring a new and rather odd perspective to the nearly eight minute dance tune. Check out the video…

So many familiar faces in this video! It’s weird to see someone you know do (fake?) blow off of a robot on video and another one grinding on him in a bikini.

Free Press Summer Fest 2011 Blind Pre-Sale

Sep 10, 2010 by Eggs

To go to a music festival is one thing, but to attend one in your own backyard is like nothing else. The 2010 edition of Houston’s Free Press Summer Fest was unlike any other music festival I’ve attended, mainly because right afterward I was able to take a dive into my own swimming pool and clean the sweat off my body from the dance parties known as The Flaming Lips and Girl Talk. Because of the amazing weekend, I will never miss another one – truly, no matter what happens, I’ll be there. To ensure that that’s the case for you all as well, Pegstar and FPH have announced a blind pre-sale that is out of this world. If you want to attend next year’s festival, no matter what the line-up is, it will only cost you a measly $15. If you want to improve your status at the festy, Fancy Pants passes are only $32.50. That’s incredibly cheap, regardless of what bands will be playing next year. If you’re worried about the quality of music scheduled this ensuing year, just take a gander at last year’s line-up. I’d recommend the Fancy Pants while supplies last, because the AC was very nice mid-afternoon.

To purchase your blind pre-sale tickets check out this site, and while your doing that, see how many times you can spot me in the video above (note: it’s more than five, less than twenty).

Ghoulsfest 2010

Aug 30, 2010 by Eggs

A few weeks ago, a brand new festival was announced for our fair city of Houston. Taking place on October 30th in Houston’s Tom Bass Park, the first ever Ghoulsfest is sure to be a good time. Promising “the most diverse in a one day event,” the festival is set to feature headlining sets from legendary hardcore band Bad Brains, indie-rockers We Are Scientists and pop-soul singer Macy Gray. Also featured during this all day, outdoor event are DJ sets from both Hot Chip, Fischerspooner and Peanut Butter Wolf, as well as a host of Texas’ best including Daniel Johnston, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and Girl In A Coma. As always, a strong contingent of Houston artist are being represented in form of Fat Tony, Roky Moon & Bolt, Tax The Wolf and several others.

There also seems to be more additions on the way, with one major rumor about an additional headliner – that being Big Boi of Outkast fame. It sure seems to be true, and has been reported by reputable news sources, but really who knows?! Hopefully for Houston’s sake, it is.

Check out the full line-up for the inaugural Ghoulsfest after the jump.
