Crystal Castles
The electro 8-bit shouty hoody boppers return with a new album soon (also called Crystal Castles infuriatingly) and new material has popped up on blogs like the abrasive Doe Deer and the dreamy electro of Celestica.

Death Metal Parrot
The almost obligatory cute animal clip of the week. This time around a parrot rocks out to some death metal. Truly uncaged.
