Not too long ago we said farewell to The Creepy Touch and promised that this wasn’t really the end but the start of something new. Well that something new is now here! The Vidiot returns with a brand new weekly Bloglin webisodes of Kill With Video.
What is Kill With Video? Well it’s easier to just watch than explain, but the long and short of it is a wide array video clip mash-ups and music that will briefly transport you into an altered reality. Think of it as video one-hitters meant to brighten the banality midway through your Wednesday.
Episode one is called Pizza Krazy, and it’s just that! Ok enough out of me… Sit back, relax, light ‘em up (if you got ‘em) and enjoy! We’ll be back every Wednesday with new episodes of Kill With Power. If you hate this, please blame the Vidiot… and Rokhausen while you’re at it.

I spent CMJ week of 2009 running around New York doing shows with Suckers. The New York Times caught their set at Bowery Poetry Club on video as part of their Urban Eye video series. There’s a short interview with Quinn and Pan along with a few flashes of live visual magic.

Pitchfork caught their set at The Delancey and said “Suckers neither suck nor get fooled. They’re a savvy Brooklyn band who favor big moments and soaring chant-along choruses, and their reputation as a spirited live act drew an impressive mix of festival-going industry types and hometown fans.”
Meanwhile, MTV caught the set at The Studio At Webster Hall. While they did not capture any video from the show, they nonetheless concluded it was the best show “since Tanlines the previous month” in part because people were having sex in the audience, and also because a guy jumped onstage to punch Quinn in the face. Those things were exciting, but I think it was the best show because Webster Hall afforded me the chance to perform the best live visuals of CMJ using two projectors in their fantastic space.

These visuals were not live, but a mix I put together for the show since I could not be there in person. My mixes are almost as good as the real thing though. Almost.
The Imposition 2: No Fun Productions was part of a series of events put together by Impose Magazine for the 2009 CMJ festival in New York City. Pale Blue Sky,/a>, Noveller, Slasher Risk and Oneohtrix Point Never performed.
