Never Never Love
Pop Levi, that genuine maverick, arises with a new return to form, the avant-pop masterpiece “Never Never Love”. Recorded entirely in Hollywood at Quincy Jones’ old studio, Westlake, where both Thriller & Off The Wall were laid down, Poppy pours out an album about the mad spectrum of love. Curiously produced, lush yet rudimentary. Wonderfully narrated, shamelessly nude. Flamboyant, self-confident, completely his own man and so uninterested in the back and forth of fashion that everything of his is an instant classic, Pop Levi is in the building, but fully off his rocker, and we hop it stays that way. Who knows what brush will paint the next canvas of Pop's storied output? Surely Pop does, and of course it's outside the box. The album is unearthed on wax and plastic on August 26. Heed Never Never Love in digital form by clicking.
Pop Levi's 37-minute mini-epic debuts for the world this weekend at Festival du nouveau cinéma in Montréal this Saturday, October 11, 10PM @ L'Agora (175 ave President-Kennedy). This exploration of primitive modernity is shot in art-decomentary style solely on point-and-shoot cameras and cell phones, and features unreleased music by Pop Levi. Directed by Lucky Beaches. Also featuring Auntie Mum, who directed a centrepiece of the movie, an "Everything & Finally" music film.

25.09.08The Death Set ^^^ Rooftop Switchblades
Burst a ball. May 15, The Death Set were welcomed near the end of the spring road by their Brooklyn family with an afternoon rooftop show for as many kids as could precariously crowd-swim the skies thereon. Ninjasonik, Bikes in the Kitchen, Newmore Switchblades!! Second of all, Pitchfork TV was there to capture it all in multi-angle full-frenzy view, in this part 1 of 2, so you can see it too. Click this link for Worldwide size, and let it roll over after each jam. Part 2 runs tomorrow.
Fast forward to fall 2008, and The Death Set are still all over the map. Check out the dates they've lined up with Dan Deacon's Baltimore Round Robin madness, and opening up for Girl Talk across the nation.
From The Bug's eye view of London Zoo, one rooftop with no concept one flashlight and three early morning hours becomes a hyper-real and very chilling story of the tools of survival in the London jungle below, as told by the lone and stoned mouths of Flowdan and Killa P. Shot by Anne-Marie Bergeron (Urler.tv), this video is seen best from the bed in your hearse, with a shot in your face like dart in a board.
