This is what I call hardcore Russian hip-hop—I think; the energy here is so abundant that it cannot be measured.

Twinkranes - “Witch Hunt”
Seriously, Spektrumtheatresnakes is one of the best debuts of the year.
Initially I thought this was a music video for a bizarre Japanese song called “My Boyfriend is the President,” but then I found out it’s the introduction video for a Japanese erotic computer game called “My Boyfriend is the President.” It is surprisingly innocuous given its source.
I don’t speak Japanese, but I’m pretty sure my observations from the trailer for this Wii cat game are right on.
- The cat indoctrinates or reads the mind of the player.
- The cat plays the piano.
- The cat is self-employed technology consultant or an executive at a technology firm.
- The cat takes trips with its owner into space.
- The cat chases after ghosts in a sports car.
- The cat tackles burglars.
- The cat is embarrassed by its possibly-in-the-closet owner.
- The cat teams up with friends to lunge at random Japanese men in the name of love.
- The cat has been on the cover of the Japanese equivalent of Time Magazine.
- The cat gets possessed by demons.

Twinkranes - “The Charmer”
This is probably what Neu! would sound like, if they still put out albums in 2009.
"Neighbours described the Vancouver Island man shot to death by police as a kind and caring neo-Nazi who wanted to protect the environment."

Man shot by B.C. police described as ‘kind, caring’ neo-Nazi
I’m still trying to wrap my head around a journalist actually typing this paragraph.
Holy Christ is that Jesse Camp?Guess who.
Or someone in preparation for the forthcoming Jesse Camp biopic I wasn’t aware existed. If that is the case, I hope the writer uses this footage what appears to be him talking about LSD and pancakes for their research.
(Also, Jesse Camp is thirty years old in three days - woah.)
