VIDEO Tre Luce: 'You Can Bust' video waaaay TSFW (Too Sexy For Work)
Posted by Rodney Carmichael on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 3:42 PM
You might need a bib to catch the drool.
After giving us food for thought on old Atlanta vs. gentrified Atlanta with last week's debut of the Artemus Jenkins-directed video "Return," Atlanta rapper Tre Luce shows his versatility with the most tastefully sensual visual I've seen in a long time.
Directed by Lacey Duke (also behind Janelle Monáe's "Tightrope Wondamix"), the orgasmic metaphors in this video offer proof that female directors convey overt sexuality with so much more imagination than the bruhs.
If you haven't sampled the rest of Tre Luce's debut LP Return of the A, peep these choice cuts: "Machinery," "Show Me Love" feat. Scar, "Speak My Mind," and Tre's Captain Sav-a-Chick redux "I Got Her."

VIDEO Lyonnais unveils 'A Sign From On High / Modern Calvary'
Posted by Chad Radford on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 11:26 AM
A sun-baked landscape that’s both vast and majestic sets the scene for Lyonnais’ “A Sign From On High / Modern Calvary” video, which found its way onto the Internet over the weekend.
It’s one of the more epic cuts from the group’s debut album, Want For Wish For Nowhere (Hoss Records), which, as a whole, builds on juxtapositions of sometimes abrasive, sometimes serene drone pop and experimental post-punk atmospherics. “A Sign From On High / Modern Calvary” draws things out a bit with a looming minor-key resonance that feeds one of Lyonnais’ most dramatic and ethereal numbers so far.
There are also a lot of references folded into picture here, culminating in several not-so-subtle nods to the Sisters of Mercy’s “Dominion/Mother Russia” video, and specifically to Anton Corbijn’s videography with Joy Division, Front 242, Echo & the Bunnymen etc. — all rendered in stunning HD color. Scenes from the video were shot on locations around the world, including Atlanta, London, and Morocco; some of which may look familiar as they also appear in such films as Lawrence of Arabia, The Last Temptation of Christ, and Orson Welles’ Othello. It takes that whole post-modern chic thing that Lyonnais has going on to a whole new dimension.
Lyonnais plays Space 2 on Wed., May 23rd with Dylan Ettinger, Featureless Ghost, and Anticipation. Free (donations accepted). 9 p.m.

Music news / VIDEO Hudsons' 'Ratchet Girls Anthem' drags up age-old debate over black men in dresses
Posted by Rodney Carmichael on Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 5:04 PM
Talk about a self-made phenomenon. Atlanta comedy duo/brothers Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson have taken their hilarious, homemade "musical comedy" videos from the bedroom web cam to the club with the new and improved release of "Ratchet Girls Anthem." Since posting the video yesterday, it's catapulted their total YouTube viewership to well over 100 million views.
But everybody's not laughing. Besides garnering comparisons to Martin Lawrence and Jamie Fox's classic characters Shenehneh and Wanda, they've become Exhibit Z in the age-old debate over black comedians and actors in drag. The question being, how much of it is rooted in the long-theorized conspiracy to emasculate black men?
