Thanks to LA Record, I was turned on to the Polyamorous Affair’s video for “White Hot Magic.” [Caution: The version above has some dirty words in it.] Like the duo’s Manimal Vinyl debut, “Bolshevik Disco,” it’s the product of the vivid and slightly warped imagination of Eddie Chacon (he of 1992’s “Would I Lie to You?) and his wife Sissy Saint-Marie. How make seemingly cheesy electro-pop interesting, and even cool? Dress it up like it’s house music for a Soviet Bloc party. Fun times.
