it seems like most peoples inital reaction to jan and wayne as a couple was that they were gay. while they aren't, i can see why people would think that as jan kinda came off as a femenine man in the first few sketches.

however i'm curious, how much would jan change, if at all if she were simply a gay man? don't get me wrong, they're already iconic as is but they'd be equally iconic as a gay couple. i also wonder if there dynamic would change or stay the same.

ik i've done a lot of rambling just now but i've got some more things i want to express on here about jan and wayne, so long as @janenthusiast doesn't mind 😅

HEALTH Bring the Noise to Brooklyn Steel

HEALTH – Brooklyn Steel – March 15, 2024

HEALTH are a band you just have to see live. Yes, they make and record heart-pumping, synth-heavy noise that on any commute, treadmill or hot-girl walk can transport you to dark-wave metal heaven. But in the flesh? If you were at Steel on Friday, you get it. 

The esteemed triad, a Los Angeles band, released their first self-titled album in 2007. They’ve been in the game for a while, collaborating with the likes of Crystal Castles, Lamb of God and 100 Gecs, and putting out some seriously good remix albums. Were you to try to genre-stamp HEALTH, I suppose you’d go for industrial. But the band, especially live, ping-pongs comfortably from dub-y hardcore to emo rock (see lead singer Jake Duzsik’s dreamlike, drawn-out vocals) to hard techno. That said, the crowd looked rather uniform: It was the rare concertgoer who was not bedecked in all black. Let’s hear it for the Goths.

On Friday, HEALTH played a satisfyingly diverse set, including “Crack Metal” (Rat Wars, 2023), a cover of Deftones’ “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)” — released this year — and “We Are Water,” off 2009’s Get Color. (Another notable collab, that music video was directed by Eric Warheim.) Drummer BJ Miller was exceptional. His pulsating drum pattern moved the band ever-forward, and his fills were technical delights. John Famiglietti, the bassist and “software player,” is the band’s performance guy, tending to his synth in a split, raising his hands to the sky and head-banging his long locks.

As a wise man (Famiglietti) once said (in an Instagram Reel), “HEALTH has the best fans and the best vibes in the biz.” While I can’t be the arbiter on that one, the energy was pretty fucking good. It’s impossible to not move at their shows and it’s impossible to not have fun. Before their last song, Duzsik made clear they wouldn’t be doing a performative encore. “This is it,” he said, before launching into “Crusher” (Disco3, 2017). The song’s end was a harsh, loud pounder, a perfect sign-off. —Rachel Brody | @RachelCBrody

Master of None - Season 2

I was Really Into the first season of Master of None. Aziz Ansari & Alan Yang & co-creators & stars of the show, featured on Netflix.  I’ve been looking forward to the second season for so long, I kind of forgot about it!  When I got my alert from Netflix that it would be available on Friday, I instantly knew what my Saturday plans would be. I binged the whole season & I was not disappointed; in…

i don’t know why “it’s free real estate” became a meme but the other parts of the gif that came from eric warheim’s mind being blown didn’t become a meme

ah, now that i remember the mind being blown gif did become a meme

but i wish the part where he says “he asked me why i was looking at his sleeping son through the window” became a meme.

Tim Heidecker : What The Brokenhearted Do...

Tim Heidecker : What The Brokenhearted Do…

It took me a long time to find an “in” with Tim Heidecker. In-particular, the comedy he created with Eric Warheim. Watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Jobon Adult Swim was both absolute hilarity and mild-to-extreme unease. Their comedy was this weird mix of 80s cable access video effects and mild hallucinatory fever dream. Crude, odd, and clever all rolled into one. The jokes never seemed…

The 20 best Dancing music Movies of all time

From pioneers like Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers to modern day YouTube-breakers like Important Lazer and M.I.A., electronic audio boasts plenty of visionaries willing to pour a great deal of love (and funding) to bringing their songs  to life.   Here, we have counted down 20 more of the very best dance videos ever — did your favorite make the clip?

#20 Major Lazer –‘Pon De Floor’

Back in ’09 Big Lazer constituted of just Diplo and Switch, also Pon De Floor has been the single that introduced them into the world. In those days, Caribbean sounds   took center stage in the pair’s music — that was way before Diplo could begin calling on pop’s fine for toplines — therefore it made sense that the movie to their breakthrough hit was an ode into Jamaica’s dance style-of-the-moment: daggering.

The next calendar year, as a competitive fondness for the movement left a spate of broken penises in its aftermath, the Jamaican government would crack down on daggering by exposing all videos using “blatantly sexual content” out of television. The Pon De Floor clip stands as a bright, brash and odd reminder of that quite wonderful moment ever. (Fun fact: it was led by Eric Warheim of Tim & Eric celebrity.) [Katie Cunningham]

#19 The xx –‘Islands’

The xx’s self-titled debut album introduced us into a group that has been unshowy in each way. In the restraint of these songs to the extreme shyness of their early live shows, these Londoners weren’t going to provide us bombastic music videos.

It’s unsurprising, then, that the clip for Islands stands out of this list for its striking simplicity. The xx members attribute at center stage, however the focus is squarely on the dancers who move them around in an unbroken loop. The repeating sequence feels perfectly suited to the dreamy depression of the vocals, demonstrating you only require a single room and a wise conceit to create a captivating video.

There’s an additional bonus here also: viewing Jamie xx, who might still be the band’s shyest member despite his impressive solo victory, attempting to look invisible at the close of the couch. We visit you, Jamie. [Jack Tregoning]

#18 Avalanches –‘Frontier Psychiatrist’

What an unenviable job it must have been to attempt to build a visual variant of what you hear from an Avalanches song. The Melbourne group — who built their iconic debut album on samples, pinched from countless disparate sources — have been already collages inside themselves. How can you even start to place that right into a music video?

For Frontier Psychatrist American directors Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire (who would go on to do those Old Spice advertisements) approached their job with the identical spirit of playfulness the Avalanches sewed to the song, assembling a variety behave filled with oddballs and right-fitting misfits that bring each little piece of the puzzle to everyday life. See it, remember why you loved it and try not to grin. [Dave Ruby Howe]

#17 Chemical Brothers –‘Elektrobank’

Spike Jonze — among those masters of ’90s audio movie with his crazy, cartoonish style — played it right for once for this improbably moving clip, essentially a brief film starring Sofia Coppola, fellow manager (Lost in Translation) and Jonze’s potential ex-wife.

Coppola plays with a gymnast who copes with private turmoil at a huge contest. The graceful performance (comprising a pro gymnast dual) is a lovely contrast to the Chemicals’ pulverising defeats and squelching sound, featuring The Prodigy’s Keith Murray. Much like Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice, what makes the clip memorable is its sincerity — no understanding satirical winks; it lets the beauty of the gymnastics function what they are. And also the melodrama is performed to the hilt; it might be an ’80s afterschool special.   [Jim Poe]

#16 Important Lazer & DJ Snake –‘Lean On’

1,535,399,281: that’s how many YouTube perspectives the movie for Lean On had last time we checked. That’s 1.5 billion eyes on Major Lazer’s handiwork, along with a figure equivalent to over 20-percent of the planet’s inhabitants.   Those numbers alone would probably make Lean On a reference in this record, but the viewcount isn’t all that’s important   about Diplo’s most prosperous minute  so far.

Read More

In addition to being a great deal of fun, Lean On is significant because it demonstrated that dance fans   want to watch their own artists in music  videos — could it have been such a runaway victory if Diplo, Jillionaire, Walshy Fire, DJ Snake and MØ weren’t at the movie, cutting shapes in their mix of sportswear and Bollywood finery? Or in an even larger question,  would   Lean On have become the funniest tune of the year with this movie? [Katie Cunningham]

 #15 Justice –‘Anxiety’

There couldn’t have been a much better candidate to translate the frenzied, competitive seriousness of Justice’s Anxiety to movie than incendiary French manager Roman Gavras.

Read More

Conceived when the French electro duo were at the height of their powers in 2008 as “a clip unairable on television for a course unairable on the radio” Gavras’ no-holds-barred depiction of a day in the life span of wayward French youths triggering forecasts of racial profiling and fetishising violence in the aftermath of the 2005 Paris riots. Wayward is a barely fitting description though, the themes of Anxiety stem the outlying suburbs/banlieues of Paris enacting casual ultra-violence and civil destruction where they go, all backed by the menacing whir of Justice’s creation.

Speaking to Flux on the controversy which the audio video created upon its release, Gavras appeared to relish his status as a provocateur — two decades ahead of the ginger genocide of M.I.A’s Born Free clip. “For a couple of months, I was among the most hated men in France, but it was fun. It was astonishing free promo…that you can only get that much media if you have intercourse with kids.” [Dave Ruby Howe]

#14 Huge Strike –‘Teardrop’

London filmmaker Walter Stern made his name working with The Prodigy in the 90s, when he helmed their inflammatory videos for Firestarter and Breathe. These credentials created Stern a somewhat unexpected option, subsequently, to choose one of Massive Attack’s most delicate songs.

The Bristol collective recruited Stern to deliver his arresting visual style for their 1998 single Teardrop, which Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja described as a “moment of light relief” in their brooding third album Mezzanine. It was Stern’s idea to coincide with the song’s dreamy atmosphere with shots inside a womb, as an individual fetus lip-synchs and also Elizabeth Fraser’s vocals.

The concept sounds unnerving on paper, but the extreme closeups create a strangely meditative mood that’s fantastic for Teardrop. In addition, it helps that the unborn baby is so obviously an animatronic version made from silicon rather than, you know, the true thing. The movie won a series of awards, also entered a life of permanent Rage spinning and also gave Stern a much-needed reprieve from filming mad Keith Flint. [Jack Tregoning]

#13 The Prodigy –‘Firestarter’

Even though most of dance music’s greatest stars seem painfully embarrassing on camera, The Prodigy were constructed for videos. The theatrical personas of both Maxim and Keith Flint were created for electrical onscreen performances, with perhaps the most populous of all occurring within the scummy ‘gator-infested flat of Breathe.

While other videos prompted more warmth for The Prodigy, there’s something starkly powerful concerning the Firestarter clip. Director Walter Stern shot the shameful action within a deserted London Underground tunnel, with Keith because the central star. The frontman’s unhinged shtick was at its most persuasive in the mid-90s, and he actually dialed it up here, holding the focus with his hectic charisma. Firestarter is really so much that the Keith Flint Show, in reality, that the involvement of Liam Howlett, Leeroy Thornhill and Maxim is limited to running at the shadows and giving quizzical looks.

The movie did figure out how to wake up controversy in the UK for giving children nightmares, with some TV channels carrying it off day rotation. Without doubt The Prodigy also discouraged a couple of people from adventuring through abandoned railway tunnels through the night. Nobody would like to fulfill a dance Keith Flint in the dark. [Jack Tregoning]

#12 Duck Sauce –‘Big Bad Wolf’

“It’s no Windowlicker,” the manager behind Big Bad Wolf defended when Rolling Stone proceeded in on 2011’s most head-turning movie. “This was disturbing.”

Duck Sauce’s most memorable clip might not be Aphex Twin-level weird, but it sure will push the envelope. In order to produce their movie tour de force, collaborators A-Trak and Armand Van Helden spent two days in their own hands and knees at green display jumpsuits, heads in the crotches of different guys. Lots of impressive post-production later and they came away with a classic boy-meets-girl story, only with some — err —unconventional sexual acts.

For the very best assessment of why Big Bad Wolf wants to go down with the greats, render it Kanye West: “You took a danger as an artist to piss from your mouth,” he allegedly told A-Trak over email. [Katie Cunningham]

#11 M.I.A. –‘Bad Girls’

When M.I.A. connected up with manager Romain Gavras to make a movie for her 2010 song Born Free, the collaborators created an incendiary short film. Over nine intense minutes, we watch a violent raid of an apartment block, with the officers targeting only residents with red hair. It was a provocative political statement, using redheads as a stand-in for oppressed and vilified groups, and both M.I.A. and Gavras recognized the consequent controversy.

Read More

After the singer and filmmaker worked in 2012 on Bad Girls, they chose a much more celebratory tone. Mesmerised by YouTube videos of “Saudis drifting on two wheels” in the desert, they moved to Morocco to give it a try. The end result is bright, daring and bad-ass. On its release, Bad Girls sparked debate regarding its subversion of Arab stereotypes, while also delivering the visceral pleasure of M.I.A. cruising out the window of a car that’s practically airborne. Not a lot of pop videos combine style and material similar to this one. [Jack Tregoning]
