London’s The Black Ghosts are what’s right with music today. We are excited to be collaborating with The Black Ghosts and IAMSOUND Records to bring to you, a series of music videos featuring The Black Ghosts music, made by talented filmmakers. Get your stream on!

Over the next two months, Missingtoof and our bigger bro, Big Stereo, will be debuting new videos from The Black Ghosts every Monday (alternating between our site and theirs). This will be building up to The Black Ghosts debut self-titled release on July 8th! I know I’m excited. Will the record be this generation’s “The Sounds of Silence” with a bassline? Perhaps! I’m very optimistic.

We typically avoid using press-release information verbatim, but the sentence explaining the video above can’t be improved on: “An ordinary day in the life of a gay couple of thieves with relationship problems.” The video is directed by young Brazilian film maker, Paulinho Caruso.

The next video, for the single, ‘Anyway You Choose To Give It’, will be premiered next Monday, May 12th, on Big Stereo (it alternates, get it?).

The Teenagers are back in a major way, with a new video for ‘Starlett Johannson’ featuring the object of adoration herself—Scarlett Johannson (or so the rumor-mill goes). The video coincides with the single release on Merok Records and the announcement of their first US tour (Toronto too!).

Y’all remember them Blamma! Blamma! cats? Remember how they did amazing things to songs from Blood Red Shoes, Headland and Maximo Park (kinda) and it changed our chests irreversibly—forever? Well, now they’ve done an official promo remix for The Teenz! OMG! <333

MP3: The Teenagers - Starlett Johansson (Blamma! Blamma! “Scared of Spiders” Mix)

Also, we’ve got a new and rather unique pop-rock remix (cover?) by Connan and The Mockasins:

MP3: The Teenagers - Starlett Johansson (Connan and The Mockasins Remix)

More! ‘Cuz we never get enough. The tracks that started the Teenagers craze, ‘Homecoming’ (released on Kitsune) and ‘Fuck Nicole’, as remixed by Parisians Gentlemen Drivers, Brooklyn Trouble & Bass‘r Passions, & Parisian Klub des Loosers‘r Detect:

MP3: The Teenagers - Homecoming (Gentlemen Drivers Rave Remix)

MP3: The Teenagers - Homecoming (Passions Remix)

MP3: The Teenagers - Fuck Nicole (Detect Remix)

And, to prove The Teenagers can throw down a remix—here’s their take on London’s Simian Mobile Disco, reworked so brilliantly. We posted it before, but, oh so good, it’s a repeater:

MP3: Simian Mobile Disco - It’s the Beat (The Teenagers Remix)

We’re Teenz fanboys, as you can tell, so you’ll know we’ll be at as many of these tour dates as possible—including their very first American show in L.A. I’ll be in the front weeping like they’re the freaking Beatles.

• 1/22 Los Angeles, CA - Echo
• 1/23 Los Angeles, CA - Spaceland
• 1/24 Ritch, San Francisco, CA - Pop Scene
• 1/26 Chicago, IL - Sonotheque
• 1/27 Toronto, Canada - The Social

• 2/02 New York, NY - Studio B

The advice I have for you is presale, presale, presale! Check your local box office.

Visit The Teenagers on MySpace. Also, visit their label Merok on MySpace or MerokRecords.com to buy the Starlett Johannson single (Merok Records don’t last!).

Oh, and our Teenz archive runs so deep—dive in. (Deep!)

Deeeeep!

Trash Fashion is at it again. Jet Storm of Trash Fashion did a remix of their ‘Mommy & Daddy’ track and it’s so ruff, so smooth. Remember the Rhythm Dr. version we tossed up here a while back? Well, once this new one gets into it, it’s like that version on 3 Red Bull and vodkas and 6 bumps of coke. Thank Trash Fashion for having the insight to combine hardcore punk vocals and day-glo raver aesthetics and make it palatable for the pointy-shoe’d scenester lot.

MP3: Trash Fashion - Mommy & Daddy (Jet Storm’s Ear Cleaner Mix)

The video you see above is the the original track, which is hype to begin with. Directed by YouthClub!.

If you want to be down with Trash Fashion you don’t want to wear plastic bags for a t-shirts and wash your hair with old newspapers and banana peels—nah! You want to holler at TF on MySpace or hit up the official Trash-Fashion.com to purchase the new ‘Mommy & Daddy EP’ and see their slew of European tour dates.

Perhaps you could be Trash Fashion-ish in some Jeremy Scott (or Jeremy for Ksubi), some Alex + Chloe and some glittery high-tops, interestingly more expensive than trash, by a lot.

P.S. It’s Thursday, and we told you what that means, the new Bangers & Cash track is out on Spank Rock’s MySpace. It’s called ‘B.O.O.T.A.Y.’ and features Santogold and Betty Black (rapping!). Need we say more?

Errybody is in Daft Punk mania! Next up for euphoric release is Los Angeles then Berkeley. I and the rest of the determined are meeting up on the floor of the Sports Arena and Coliseum tonight to go apeshit in similar fashion to the lego re-enactment of the last time they played in America at 2006’s Coachella. It looked exactly like the video above—I was there.

I know Mike B of Mike B vs Dickie G is gonna be the show tonight. He’s got massive stacks of wax and he shared this gem this week. A forgotten 1994 B-Side from the first single on UMM (also Soma Quality) that sounds like it was made yesterday. Daft Punk, you talented bastards:
