Immortal Technique - 4th Branch

Ignore the conspiracy theory items, some amazing lyrical gems here - putting a harsh spotlight on the unhealthy collusion between the US media and its government.

Great night out at the world premiere of Iranian indierock movie Persian Cats in Brixton last night

Not sure about the curry tortilla finger food at the afterparty upstairs, but the DJ did his thing (love those Iranian rap tunes!), quite a few arty/music world types but no snobbery to be seen for once.

Part Chimp live

This is pretty much what it was like last Saturday at the crypt under St Giles... except 3 times louder. I think this live was more like an 'unplugged'/acoustic version, so I guess at least you can hear the chords and some of the singing. On the night the singing was a nice visual touch, hopelessly lost in an ear-splitting wall of sound: just the right conditions for a mindless mosh pit upfront.

Hands down the maddest video I've seen this year

Check the promo vid for the OK Go's single This Too Shall Pass from their new album. Setup by the mad and self-styled "high voltage debauchists" over at Synn Labs. You have two ways of watching this video: mad and madder. For madder, go fullscreen. You have been warned.

Do what you love. Stop doing what you don't. Right. Now.

I didn't think much of Led Zeppelin... until this

Jimmy Page just blows me away here in their "Dazed and Confused": as always hit the full screen button for best effect!

More from AC/DC, now the soundtrack for IronMan2
