Can anyone let me know where this clip is from, or who the anonymous go-go dancer(s) might be? The song is by the proto-punk garage heroes of Tacoma, Washington, The Sonics.

Most Recently SansaClipped: Dirty Mittens
Dirty Mittens perform “Time Forgiver,” from the beautiful Portland-based music-video series The Penny Jam (from which you should expect to see more). Shot on location at SE’s Old Portland Hardware & Architectural.
Most Recently SansaClipped: Glorium
“Copilot, Keep Me Awake,” from the album Eclipse (originally recorded in 1995, released this year)
No YouTube videos that I could find, but you can check the track out here (and slip ’em a buck if you like it).
Mary Woronov
My favorite of the Warhol Screen Tests, featuring the inimitable, inscrutable Mary Woronov.
No disrespect intended towards Dean and Britta, but I prefer to hit the mute button on their “new score” to the films and enjoy them as is. My bet is you will too. You can always treat their CD as a “tribute” instead of a soundtrack, and buy it later (and Amazon is hosting a free mp3 from the project!)

Hello Again
I’ve been watching some of the fascinating Warhol Screen Tests–and between films, I’ve been surfing around for other Warhol shorts. I had totally forgotten this mess, Andy’s video for the by-1984-past-their-prime Cars. Enjoy this uncensored version while it’s available; the “official,” painfully phony and “ironic” censored version is available here, if you’re interested enough to do a quick compare/contrast.

Lashing out at fans
Japanese pop sensation Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has a new video out called “Tsukematsukeru”; the song is about false eyelashes (at least according to the blogosphere), and, sure enough, KPP wears three sets of ’em in the video.
And what if you find yourself, like, really into the triple-stacked eyelash look? Well, fortunately for you KPP just happens to be selling false eyelashes, in convenient 3-paks. Ain’t product integration grand?
…and if you’re brain isn’t throbbing quite enough after “Tsukematsukeru” and you’re craving a tiny bit more of a migraine, this video, for KPP’s megahit “PONPONPON,” should help you achieve maximum freakout:
Good for your heart
I just added the following song to my Trash Aesthetics syllabus (for the week we’d be covering MAD, EC Comics, EERIE, and other “Bad Mags“). I don’t know about you, but my heart feels a lot better already!
“What is the truth about vampires?”
Well, I’m not sure you’re going to learn that, exactly — or anything, really — from this trailer for Jean Rollin’s La Vampire Nue/The Nude Vampire (1970). But you may find your mind blown. I have to find the soundtrack pronto and start annoying my whole family!
