# Videodrome #46 – This week’s best videos
Shoutout to Pendu's Ekstatic Vision for hooking us up with a few of
these rarities. I saw **Salem** and **Gatekeeper** play a show for him
in early '10 and it was sick as hell. Promoters need to understand that
these are bands that you can't just stick on any old stage. They need
confined space, darkness, fog, and plenty of bass. That's part of the
package, man. You wouldn't eat a hamburger without a bun, because then
you'd just have meatloaf. And who wants to listen to Meatloaf? Crummy
people, I bet. Here's some videos.
**1. Death Grips -- The Fever (Aye, Aye)**
Fucking destroyers. Death Grips are one of the most killer live shows
around.
**2. Sewn Leather -- Live At Drop Dead Festival**
Probably the most bad-ass video you'll see in this plane of existence or
the next. A full hour-long performance by Sewn Leather at last year's
[Drop Dead Festival][1]{: target="_blank"}. He breaks his nose around
the ten minute mark. Ever wonder what Trve Pvnk looks like? This is the
real shit. If you're in Berlin, be sure to catch him April 14th with
**Modern Witch** at [PURGE][2]{: target="_blank"}!
**3. Julia Holter -- Moni Mon Amie**
Laurie Anderson better step back. *Ekstasis* is one of the best
experimental pop albums I've heard in....well, forever maybe. I'm
immortal, by the way. Fucked up but true. Pay it forward.
**4. Nardwuar vs. Grimes**
Our favorite pop weirdo Claire Boucher gets interviewed at SXSW and
talks about **Dandi Wind**. ?
**5. Pony Time -- Lori + Judy**
Directed by **[Actual Pain][3]{: target="_blank"}**'s Emily Denton!
**6. Cyst Impaled -- HACKTHEPLANET**
I was having a long conversation with Darlene from *Roseanne* (in
character, natch) and she made a good point about [The Rise of Tumblr
Culture & The Post-Physical Reality][4]{: target="_blank"}.
**7. Sigur Rós -- Ekki múkk**
I haven't listened to these guys in a minute. Still doing their thing, I
see. This is super chill and really lovely. Am I the only one who didn't
really like *The Life Aquatic*, even despite the inclusion of the great
'Staralfur' at a key moment? I don't know. I just miss comedic Bill
Murray. That Ghostbusters sequel is guaranteed box office poison without
him.
**8. Blouse -- Ghost Dream**
This is a psychedelic masterpiece of rendered neon objects bukkaked all
over your shit. You ever feel like a video is just kind of sneaking out
of your computer at night and creeping up next to your ear and going
'take drugs take drugs take drugs'? You probably shouldn't leave this on
in a baby's room.
**9. Valis**
Chicago is seriously boning for that weirdo industrial electro. I'm on
this one hard. You need to get on [these guys][5]{: target="_blank"} too
if you aren't already.
OKAY BYE!
