    • Neurobeat 3: Must be the Moon

      Wednesday, 01 Apr 2009 - 05:05 UTC

      Neurobeat is a music series on Nothing’s Shocking that comes out late on Tuesday nights. Every week a new song is featured to complement my mood or experiences of the previous week. If you’re wondering why in the hell I’m doing this, please read the original Neurobeat for my reasons.

      As promised, here is a feature on the third member of the incestuous 3-band love triangle that was discussed in last week’s edition. The band is !!!, which is pronounced “Chk Chk Chk”, or something like that. !!! is partially based in New York City, but also has roots out west as well.

      The band’s name was inspired by the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, in which the subtitles listed the clicks of the bushman’s language as “!!!”. Actually the band’s name can be pronounced by simply repeating any monosyllabic utterance three times. Their last album was Myth Takes in 2007 and it seems like they are still around, touring. I only found !!! after crawling teh interwebz for more information on Out Hud and LCD Soundsystem.

      I couldn’t find a video for the song I wanted to feature because it is actually a remix by Emperor Machine, so you only get an audio clip. It is called Must be the Moon

      (cont.)

      Not having a video is no fun, so here is the original version of the song, complete with a very strange, moderately creepy video:


      I kind of imagine that the video loosely depicts how most parties develop at the Gee household…
