Last week I posted the new video for “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse, which proved to be nothing short of an awesome train wreck of hilarious proportions.
For those of you that still watch Saturday Night Live (seriously, it’s still pretty funny!), you caught last night’s parody of the “Miracles” video. For the rest of you, you can thank me for not letting this slip by you.
May I present to you, the best music video of 2010.
“There’s Magic everywhere in this bitch!”
Somewhere, thousands of Juggalos are getting down to this shit and chugging Faygo.
NEW MUSIC MONDAYS
FRONTIER RUCKUS - Mount Marcy
Frontier Ruckus is hardly the type of music you’d expect to emerge from the Detroit area, a region better known for the acts like Eminem, Insane Clown Posse, and The Stooges. However, as Michigan continues to bear the brunt of much of the current economic downfall, it almost starts to make sense that this is where Frontier Ruckus calls home. The music is emotive, full of lush imagery, and while it sounds more like Appalachia than the Motor City, it reeks of authenticity, desperation, and hope.
Above all the banjos, guitars, horns, and yelping harmonies, lies Matthew Milia’s wavering vocal. Untrained and raw, it’s utterly endearing, with a tone and confidence reminiscent of Conor Oberst or Bob Dylan. Yet the most fantastic part of about Frontier Ruckus is that they’re so engaging, constantly turning the listener’s attention to hidden melodies, mood shifts, smart lyrics, and all sorts of other audible twists and turns.
Frontier Ruckus is currently on tour supporting their album, The Orion Songbook, and will release their new record, Deadmalls and Nightfalls, this summer.
