Video: Thee Oh Sees "Meat Step Lively"

Thee Oh Sees are ridiculously prolific, but that's cool because their recipe is simple: Punk-y, garage-y, kick out the jams rock n roll. They do it better than most. If you like the Black Lips, this is similar, but with a hint less psychedelia, and a pinch more rage. Coincidentally (or not), the Black Lips and Thee Oh Sees will be in Miami this fall for the Bruise Cruise. This video is for a song ("Meat Step Lively") off their new album Warm Slime, which is their 2nd album in the last year or so.

Black Lips Release "Two Million Thousand"

Atlanta psychedelic punk rockers The Black Lips dropped their sixth album Two Million Thousand yesterday. If you're familiar with their Byrds-meets-Blitz stylings than this is just a gentle reminder to go buy the new album, because it's a steady continuation of everything you already love about these guys.

If you don't know about these guys, then make a note and go check them out.

Their last album, Good, Bad, Not Ugly (Vice Records), is a modern classic, and I don't throw that term around lightly. It's walks the line between detail-oriented neo-garage-psych ("I Saw a Ghost") and humorous irreverance ("How Do You Tell a Child That Someone Has Died").

Here's a pretty choice cut off the new album:
