An excellent promotional video for “We are the massacre” by World’s End Girlfriend.
I’ve been listening to a lot of World’s End Girlfriend (a.k.a. Katsuhiko Maeda) lately and this video perfectly complements the beautiful track from his 4th album, “The Lie Lay Land” (2005).

There’s surprisingly little of interest/substance out there but here’s a start:

“Nothing will delight us more than to see your life and spirit enhanced with our music.” - World’s End Girlfriend interview (autresdirections.net)
A short interview from the time of the release of “The Lie Lay Land”. - “Scorpius Circus” live (youtube.com)
Not his most original work but worth watching to see him perform live with a full-size band.

Just in case you forgot exactly what the “War On Terror” is fighting to preserve.
The “Amateur Sketch” alone must be worth its weight in (Leprachaun) gold.

The release of a new Bonnie “Prince” Billy (a.k.a. Will Oldham) album is always something to be happy about and the new promo ad (the first of three) for “The Letting Go” couldn’t be any better:
“Sounds like something that would come out on September 11th”

Over the last 25 years I have probably seen Whitehouse play live at least a couple of dozen times. The last few years, post-Sotos, have seen them achieve new levels of intensity and sheer joyous belligerence. I believe that, right now, they are at their artistic and creative peak. Now more than ever, Whitehouse can be relied on to deliver the goods.
For me, this short fragment of “A cunt like you”, recorded live in Vienna in 2003 (Live Action 99), totally captures the exuberance and spirit of the new, live Whitehouse experience.
