Canadian freaklord Chad Vangaalen has become something of Sub Pop’s resident animator. After busting out tons of incredibly

surreal

clips for his

own

songs, the label starting having him produce similar videos for other label bands like Metz,

The Head and The Heart, J Mascis and Love as Laughter. But his newest clip for Shabazz Palace’s “Forerunner Foray” might take the cake for one reason: it has Magic Johnson riding a pizza through space. Watch it as soon as you possibly can above.

In other “really awesome Shabazz news,” Jack White just announced that he listened to Lese Majesty so much last year and dug it so hard that he’s having the duo over to his mad scientist studio at Third Man Records to record a live record straight to acetate. Here’s the release from Third Man Records:

Very few records from last year got us as excited about the current state and hopeful for the future state of music as Shabazz Palaces’ Lese Majesty. Easily the most oft-spun record on the Third Man office turntable in the second half of 2014, it was imperative that we bless the beginning of 2015 with a live direct-to-acetate recording from these psychedelic warriors from the Pacific Northwest. Shabazz Palaces’ obstinately original oeuvre emanates from a fully formed higher conscious, they plant their flag in the outermost realms of the hip hop global soundscape where vibrations throb into beat-heavy explorations, chrome covered constellations of higher reveries each offering it’s own sonic boom. We couldn’t be more excited to host Shabazz Palaces in our Blue Room transcribing their astral suites direct-to-acetate for a live audience, on Saturday January 17th we all blast off together.

Black Constellation’s universe continues to expand into the cosmos at an unyieldingly epic rate. In case you missed it yesterday, make sure to check out THEESatisfaction’s new music video too.
