New Black Lips album 200 Million Thousand, which Pitchfork's Jason Crock awards a 7.3 today, veers off into echoey oddness just when you might've expected the Atlanta garage-rockers to take their critical acclaim and start cruising toward Main Street. As the Byrds-tinged "Short Fuse" shows, though, Black Lips still have a way with catchy songs that bring a sardonic 21st-century perspective to sonic touchstones from previous eras (something tells me the new Star Trek movie isn't going to include anything like this song's cheesy sci-fi sound effect). The song's intense-- and intensely fun-- animated video also looks to the past without losing sight of the This Very Second While You Are Reading This Post, Including These Specific Words of This Post. Yes, These Words, Too. Says a VBS.TV commenter with a Pabst Blue Ribbon can for an avatar and the screen name "baberhamlincoln": "my dome is blown." Party time, excellent.Video:> Black Lips: "Short Fuse"[from 200 Million Thousand; due 02/24/09 on Vice]

There’s something about this time of year that just makes some loud, boozy garage rock sound perfect. I guess other people think that too, considering some of the releases of late. Deerhunter’s wonderfully chaotic new album is out very soon, Thee Oh Sees recently dropped one of their best records yet, and now Adult Swim [...]

Outlaw-country gods and longtime buddies Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson recorded a veritable shit-ton of songs together, but their most famous is probably the lightweight 1975 shuffle “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.” Lately, Willie Nelson has been flipping the chorus around in concert, changi...
