Moby Feat. Cold Specks – A Case For Shame (Video)

Moby’s ‘A Case For Shame’ is the first track to be released from his new album Innocents, which comes out October 1st and is available to pre-order now. From Moby:

The collaboration with Cold Specks is a directorial debut from Moby and was shot by him at his home in Los Angeles. It features the masked characters from the album cover, Cold Specks and Moby himself under water.

“the video has a specific meaning for me, but i’m hesitant to say what that is, as it might have a very specific meaning to you, and it’s completely open to anyone’s subjective interpretation. just because i made it doesn’t mean that my interpretation of it is the right one. i’d love to hear what you think of it and what your interpretation is.

oh, and it goes without saying, but it’s certainly not a big, commercial video… it’s an experimental video, inspired by some of my early heroes of experimental film, like jack smith (who also inspired fellini and andy warhol, so i guess at the very least i’m in good company in citing jack smith as an inspiration, even if i’m clearly not fellini or andy warhol…)”

Uptown XO – Finding My Way (Video)

Diamond District emcee Uptown XO releases the video version of his first single “Finding My Way” from the album “Colour de Grey”. A.B. The Pro produces, adding a percussive funk loop to XO’s introspective lyrical mood. XO explores all he’s been through – from childhood evictions and lost memories, to the battle for his soul: “Lost erything in life and had to start all over / I had to cope with the pain, now I can’t stay sober.” As always a picturesque tour of Washington DC from Uptown XO.
