Soundgarden’s King Animal marks the group’s return a full 15 years after their initial breakup and, in the video for the album cut “Been Away Too Long,” the alt-rockers rage again with neck-breaking authority. The clip’s story is intriguing, too: a young girl in a straitjacket rises from bones and runs from mysterious men and attack dogs but gets trapped in isolated, snowy buildings. She eludes capture, though she may not be human.
King Animal will be out November 13th. CHECK IT OUT!

New video, released by The Killers! The Vegas rockers debuted the song live back in July in Asheville, N.C., and the footage in this tour video was shot by director Giorgio Testi during recent dates overseas in Europe.
It captures Brandon Flowers and Company performing under some fancy light shows in front of massive festival-sized crowds, hanging out backstage and generally having a good time being on the road. Plenty of smiles to go around here for everybody. The Killers are currently across the pond on a fall 2012 U.K. tour, which runs through a Nov. 16-17 stand at London’s O2 Arena. WATCH

I heard the clip from Jack White’s new song “Blues on Two Trees” and promptly hated it. Ten minutes later I couldn’t get the flippin’ tune out of my head.
Jack White busting a rhyme? That’s right, the former White Stripes singer raps on a recording for the first time ever on ‘Blues on Two Trees,’ the B-side to his forthcoming single ‘I’m Shakin’.’ Two Trees’ kicks off as a standard blues-infused garage-rock tune, but before long, it takes a turn for the strange, with White eventually rapping at the mic. “Three trees lying on the side of the road / One tree barks, ‘Where the hell do we go?” he rhymes at one point, offering up a typically eccentric take.
Give it a try, share my joy/misery!

Can you identify with this poor dad? Have you “lost your touch”? Thankfully, there’s now help for you. Jimmy Kimmel Live and Travis Barker have recently teamed up to star in a spoof PSA titled “Helping Parents To Rock.”
It’s quite generous for a star of this caliber to donate his valuable time to help educate, promote, and share such a private “problem” with us “little folk”. You see, it doesn’t matter where you are in your journey in life, people are all the same. SEE PSA. Thank you, Jimmy and Travis.

YouTube is full of “This is totally real, guys” ghost videos, and if you don’t spend at least one night around Halloween browsing through a bunch of them, you’re not truly getting into the spirit of the holiday. Let’s check some out, shall we?
**Disclaimer: Science has found zero empirical evidence for the existence of ghosts, aliens, demons or any other supernatural creatures, and these videos will surely not fool an expert in video fakery. Unless he or she watches them alone, late at night, in the dark. Then they become very convincing.
Let’s cut to the scariest one out there, the Hand Demon. The terror begins in the bedroom with lighting provided by flashlight. Described like a Tool video, bizarre, pale-grey arms begin growing down from the ceiling. First it’s just a few, but soon it’s a dozen or more:
Several spindly baby arms reach up from under the door and flex against the doorjamb like tiny soot-covered Hulkamaniacs:
This is not how one goes about breaking down a door.
More hands start grasping out of the wall, even coming straight through one of his posters, because phantom chimney-sweep forearms care nothing for personal belongings:
The fact that this is CGI is as obvious. Very well made CGI. Totally totally fake. But…try going to bed tonight without imagining a dozen tiny black baby arms reaching under the gap beneath your closet door. That’s what horror is all about — you watch these at work, during the day and your rational brain writes it off as some film student’s demo reel. Watch it again, at night, alone and you will believe in ceiling hands.

The second album by The xx, “COEXIST”, was released last month. The second single from “COEXIST”, is titled “Chained”. The video was shot in slow motion, underwater, and beautiful and colorful graphics.
“Spending two days underwater wasn’t quite as easy as we thought,” the xx say of their Young Replicant-directed video for ‘Chained,’ “We love how it turned out, hope you enjoy too.”
The xx will be performing at the Congress Theater to a sold out crowd this Saturday, October 20.

Dead humans during the zombie apocalypse are useless, especially to a hungry hoard of zombies. As they scare a poor woman to death, these thoughtful zombies resurrect her. To kill her. Here’s a public service announcement to learn and perform CPR, whatever your final intentions might be…

My Dad would have loved to see this if he were still around. His favorite saying? “Another twenty bucks? Let me go out back and s..t some more money.” We now have gold-pooping bacteria…it consumes a toxic metal to produce pure gold.
Before you grab your lab coat and rush out to nab some of the bacteria, stop. It is about as rare as the precious metal itself. And if you’re thinking you can duplicate the reaction in your basement using your gold jewelry, think again. The bacteria is grown on large concentrations of gold chloride — the toxic metal in question — also known as liquid gold.
Michigan State University announced on Oct. 1 that Associate Professor of electronic art and intermedia Adam Brown and his colleague, Assistant Professor of microbiology and molecular genetics Kazem Kashefi had found that the metal-tolerant bacteria could grow in the highly toxic environment. The process, according to Kashefi, is called “microbial alchemy,” and it’s on display in an art installation called “The Great Work of the Metal Lover.”
Slate has produced a video explaining how the super-strong bacteria Cupriavidus metallidurans goes about its precious dirty business:
