This has to be one of the most visually stunning videos I’ve seen in a long time.

Witch House
It’s cool, underground and admittedly some of it is a bit pants but I’m listening to a lot of dark doomy tunes that have been pigeonholed into the “genre” Witch House. It’s a blend of Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle, that sort of thing with NIN and modern house as imagined by some demonic sprite brought up on the scares caused by Italian horror movies. Once again Warren Ellis shows me the way with music and he has a bunch of examples on his site http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=9743.
I found a mix tape on Sound Cloud that I thought was worth sharing. -

Ace Frehley in Outer Space
Ace Frehley has finally released a track from his first album in godknowshowlong. The forthcoming album, Anomaly is due in September.The track, Outer Space has a pretty hard edge, is rocking and fresh sounding (unlike some others we ain’t going to mention). You can get it from iTunes. For some reason they are making it hard for you, so if you have a link to the wrong iTunes store it doesn’t redirect. So, I have helpfully added the UK and US store links below.
Any other country and you are on your own I’m afraid.
You can always check out news of the new Ace Frehley album on his website http://www.acefrehley.com/. It is pretty exciting to think that there will finally be new stuff from the Space Ace himself.

KISS – MODERN DAY DELILAH
Back in the day I championed KISS. They were (in my view) nothing short of awesome. These days (in my view) they have become a KISS tribute band and I refer to them as the Tribute Band Formerly Known As Kiss ( or TBFKAK, – pronounced TBF cack – for short). Here sees them pulling out all of the stops and releasing a track to radio that sounds as if they raided some archive or other and all they could find was something that they would not have made one of their late 1980s efforts. The album cover is a reworking of their Rock N Roll Over sleeve (same artist apparently). In this age of reworking of old movies and zero originality I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m disappointed that a band that excited me so much as a child has become so boring.
Will I buy this? As there is no Walmart in the area probably not, I guess I’ll skip it.
Check it out for yourself if you want, you’ll hate it. The full track, Modern Day Delilah, is available to stream on Kissonline.
MODERN DAY DELILAH
August 20, 2009Okay, KISS Army… the 11-year wait is over! Here’s the first radio track from SONIC BOOM. KISS’ “Modern Day Delilah” hits radio stations everywhere today. Enjoy!
I am looking forward to the new Ace Frehley album though.

New Radiohead song
Radiohead have released a new track free of charge courtesy of their DEAD AIR SPACE website. It is pretty much what you’d expect from Radiohead but it is free. I like free.

These Are My Twisted Words
So here’s a new song, called ‘These Are My Twisted Words’.We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished.
We’re pretty proud of it.There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it.

Apocalyptica: Worlds Collide – PopMatters Review
Worlds Collide
I’ve been finishing a lot of homework lately. This Apocalyptica album had been lying around for months. If I had written the review immediately after receipt it would have been a lot different. The album grew on me after a while. I was very disappointed when I first heard it. The resulting review was something that was somewhere between the two. I couldn’t make up my mind whether I loved it or was bored by it. What was certain was that I did not like it as much as their debut
.
When Apocalyptica appeared on the music scene in 1996 with Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, they were busting the lid off a new can. Their unique blend of heavy metal and cellos was something really remarkable and daring. What was hard to fathom was their target audience. Those that liked classical music would have shunned the recording as sacrilege, and fans of Metallica were a little bemused. Their debut highlighted all of the similarities between classical music and the brand of metal made popular by Metallica. The idea was simple, unconventional, and brilliant. Just take four cellos and some classical arrangements of Metallica tunes, record them, and release to the general public.

kiss became a much better band with eric carr and other guitarists after frehley and chris left the band. their substance abuse took its toll. kiss rules and modern day delilah sounds fantastic.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I kind of agree about KISS reaching their peak in the 80s. Vinnie Vincent was a spectacular guitarist, Bruce Kulick was good too but too much of a hired hand. Eric Carr was a thumping good drummer.
Nostalgia killed the band for me. The line up was solid and then they did the first reunion tour with Peter and Ace. They became a parody of themselves and this is a constant source of irritation for me.
Modern Day Delilah sounds like an outtake of Hot in the Shade which was a really ordinary album found in bargain bins everywhere.
