Preoccupations Release "Anxiety" Video (Formerly Viet Cong)

Preoccupations used to be Viet Cong. It is a great band that used to have a terrible name.

Now they are a great band with what is probably a safe name. They just released their first video for their first single off of their new album. It is called "Anxiety" and it is really good.

Check it out here!

This Band Name Has Gone to Heaven (Viet Cong)

This is round 2 of the controversy around the band formerly known as "Viet Cong" recently changing their name to "Preoccupation" as the result of criticism they received last Fall.

My question for the critics of the name change, why is this so different than Pearl Jam pulling out of their concerts in North Carolina?

Pirate Transmission #2 - "Bad Teeth Island"

This is Pirate Transmission #2 - Bad Teeth Island

Every Thursday I post a new playlist. You can listen to it on Spotify, or reconstruct it using the information broken out below the embedded playlist.

You can also learn more about each band by clicking on the band name (or artist name) in the post.
