More Good Music You Should Know About: Innerpartysystem's American Trash

Here at Fair Use Law we like to share with you the greatest music videos floating just under the radar. So when a chance comes to feature a band for a second time thanks to a catchy song and an inventive video premise, we jump on that chance. Innerpartysystem's second EP, Never Be Content, was just released and with it the first single's music video -- American Trash. Keep watching as things progressively get more awesome as the seconds tick by:

Episode 424 - "Welcome To The Hometown Buffet Of My Armageddon"

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Episode 242 of the Fair Use Law Podcast. The reunited Triceratops Tribunal huddle up in the secret dungeon of podcasting to discuss a variety of topics including the real person who's WINNING in this Charlie Sheen mess, a thorough review of all geek-centric TV shows on broadcast TV today, the worst thing you could ever see while lasertagging, and Natalie Portman becoming this generation's Murphy Brown. All this and more Netflix movie recommendations made fresh to order just for you.

This week on the podcast, we continued our WINNING streak of recommending new Netflix Instant films for you to peruse. This week's selection was the super low budget but ultra high quality indie love story-cum-alien invasion movie, Monsters:



This week also marked the joyous re-reunion of my DVD of Cloverfield and my person. To celebrate I give you a video that only I might get, but if you are crazy enough to figure out what it is, you will love me for it. I give you "It's a Lion!"



Hulk Hogan angered the WWE this week by announcing that his good friend the "Mouth from the South" Jimmy Hart was returning to Wrestlemania to manage Jerry the King Lawler before the WWE itself could. Does Jimmy Hart managing Lawler sound odd to you? It might because you remember the #1 smash hit of the 80s: Wimpbusters!



And finally this week we discuss the recent Oscar win of Trent Reznor and his musical heterosexual life partner Atticus Ross. While I hate posting videos from You Tube that are just music with a slideshow, this video for the band Error's Homicide shows various pics of the CD itself. Marvel at how it's both a mini-CD and a regular sized CD at the same time, thereby making it the most powerful CD of all:

Good Music You Should Know About - Innerpartysystem (again)

It's always my pleasure to share with you new music videos from bands that might somehow find themselves off your radar. One such video is the new visuals added to the Innerpartysystem single "American Trash," bringing with it a motif not unlike Orgy's Stitches but with a bit of a 2011 touch:

Episode 423 - "I Awoke In Some Kind Of Depeche Mood"

Welcome to the octagon that is Fair Use Law episode 423! This week the triceratops tribunal receive manna from heaven in the form of Charlie Sheen's escapades which is just begging for a recap. We also discuss the unfortunate circumstances of reviewing Grindhouse movies, the shock rock of new wave, Alex Jones singing our favorite childhood anthems, and what movies you can willingly one star on Netflix. All this and the weirdest hentai subtitle translation of all time!

We start things off with a bit of a music video oddity. In the early 80s, Alice Cooper was too drunk to remember what his image was. So with a little help from some friendly neighborhood synthesizers, he released one of the greatest underappreciated synthpop CDs, Flush the Fashion, with its single "Clones (We're All)," which has since been covered by the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, Penal Colony, Bile, and others:



Also discussed and recommended this week was the 1995 cyberpunk thriller "Strange Days," directed by Katheryn Bigelow and written by her ex-husband James Cameron. It's recently been added to Netflix Instant, so there's no reason to avoid it:



And, if you learn anything from episode 423, let it be that Honeycomb Big, yeah yeah yeah, as big as a GIANT:

Episode 420 - "Why Would ACME Make Such A Product?"

Welcome back my friends to the podcast that is buried under 3 feet of pure ice. This week on Fair Use Law, the recently thawed out Triceratops Tribunal discuss the coming Super Bowl and it's effective male repulsion, the horrible invention that is Pajama Jeans, the sad realization that the live action Smurf movie is definitely happening, a flashback to an ironic flag football injury, and help a listener with a Steampunk concern. All this and Glenn Beck vs. a Stegosaurus on episode 420!

How are you going to celebrate this Porn Sunday? The XXX Church has a few ideas of things you probably shouldn't be doing but will totally be doing anyways:



When you are done with all your Porn Sunday "activities," what's the best way to lounge around the house and recoup? Pajama Jeans, of course! They are as fashionably as real jeans and as low class and tacky as pajama pants.



With the Black Eyed Peas as Halftime entertainment for the big game, you have to wonder just who they turned down to settle on such a pick. If they are truly desperate for someone next year, may I recommend Ray Stevens, of the Streak fame. Not only are all his songs as universally awful as "Time Of My Life (Dirty Bit)," they are all vaguely racist against Muslims and full of pigheaded crazy-conservative conspiracy theories and doublespeak. Put him onstage with Toby Keith and we have a show America can be proud of:



Want to avoid Porn Sunday and/or football all together? Why not spend the Lord's Day the way God intended: by gawking over Bai Ling's incredibly weird nipples. There's no better place to do so in than with the Cyberpunk Direct-To-DVD "classic" Gene Generation:



If you are a University with access to an animation studio and Tetsuo the Iron Man director Shinya Tsukamoto, who wouldn't attempt to make a short viral clip to help promote your campus? I'm sure the follow clip will tell you all you need to know about the Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, Italy:



And lastly, a very rare and a very backstage glimpse into the makings of a Wrestlemania. This year's big rasslin' event will take place in the Georgia Dome, and they just posted the following video on YouTube showing the WWE's pyrotechnic artists running some tests fireworks off to see what they could get away with on the field. Warning: it could get loud:

Good Music You Should Know About - Society Burning

There are a few things we love here at Fair Use Law: video games, excellent youtube videos that pay tribute to nostalgia, and industrial music. It's pretty rare when we can post a music video that features all three tastes tasting great together. I present to you Society Burning's new music video, Nausea ad Neauseam, off their first CD in years, Internal Combustion:

Episode 416 - "Rec 2? Damn Near Killed 'Em!"

Happy Snowflake Day, Fair Users, and welcome to the 16th episode of Fair Use Law case file #4! This week we've got the four-square Triceratops Tribunal in the studio for a special Christmas/end of the year wrap-up edition of the podcast. Topics discussed are the ultimate hatred for New Years party glasses, females complaining about painful sex, accidentally showing your friend pornography, and the horrors of mixing a little kid, Attention Deficit Disorder, a sharp pencil, and a poor teacher's eye. All this and we discuss our favorite movies, TV shows, and CDs of 2010 for your approval!

This week on the podcast I brought the knowledge with the obscure trivia of one hit wonder (by design) KLF side project the Timelords and their manufactured hit tribute to Doctor Who, Doctorin' The Tardis. Here they are on Top of the Pops, miming a performance that includes Gary Glitter samples and Daleks. What more do you want for nothing?



"KLF?" you might be asking, "Why does that band name sound so familiar?" Well, you are probably confusing them with KMFDM like most people do. If that's not it, though, perhaps you remember their few 90s dance techno hits in the US, like 3 AM Eternal:



What happens when Mel Gibso... wait, I mean a man Mel Gibson is playing crosses over the mental event horizon and can no longer communicate freely with the ones he loves? Well, if he was in the upcoming Jodie Foster directed movie the Beaver, he'd talk with a Beaver hand puppet and wouldn't be instantly institutionalized like a real person would be if he attempted something this insane:



Also this week we wrapped up the year 2010 with our favorite movie, video game, and music picks. My pick this year for best CD without a doubt, #1 with a bullet, was Everything Goes Cold - Vs. General Failure. A great mix of perfectly produced and mixed industrial rock with insane samples and some tongue-in-cheek lyrics, it's the perfect CD to listen to while speeding through traffic. Need more convincing? Here they are at the legendary DNA Lounge performing their epic song FAIL:
