#89: HBHTV Episode 1
Bringing you the hottest music videos streaming directly to your eyes and ears
Currently listening to: Introit / Prophecy At 1420 MHz by Boards of Canada
Hello, friend.
You’re watching HBHTV, the television channel that brings you the hottest music videos streaming directly to your eyes and ears.
It’s Friday, May 8th, 2026, and we kicked today’s show off with Boards of Canada continuing their long-awaited return with their new single, Prophecy at 1420 MHz.
Now, let’s switch up the vibes. This is Charli xcx with Rock Music. Not, like, actual rock music, really—it’s still electronic and poppy—but, like, I see what she means.
Up next, it’s JPEGMAFIA’s intriguing new single, War Over Land.
Very excited to see how Peggy’s new album EXPERIMENTAL RAP shakes out. Next, we’re getting braindance-y with Max Cooper’s new visual feast of a music video for The Shape of Memory.
You are now entering a moment in fashion and music history. Here are Lady Gaga and Doechii absolutely serving on RUNWAY.
Absolutely insane costume design work there. And a banger of a track to boot.
Now, let’s lean back to something more chill—this is Action Bronson’s smooth new single TRICERATOPS (featuring Lil Yachty & Paul Wall) from his new album Planet Frog that came out today.
Unexpected trio there (damn, I haven’t thought of Paul Wall since like… Grillz? But that’s on me) but I’m here for it. I’m also here for this hip-thrusting, booty-shaking Harry Styles video for Dance No More.
Okay, HBHTV viewers, now it’s time to go a little harder. Here’s Lauren Sanderson teaming up with Fred Durst (yup!) on COME SAY SUM.
And with that, I’m officially feeling nostalgic. Which means it’s time for our throwback portion of the episode!
Allow me to reintroduce you to Flyleaf’s I’m So Sick—it’s still so sick.
Now let’s go back even further and remember the fun and weird styles of 1980s music videos like this one—it’s Duran Duran with Is There Something I Should Know?
Alright, friend, I hope you’ve enjoyed that little jaunt down memory lane. We’re just about ready to wrap up this episode, so let’s send you off with one last new, blue-tinged video from Chanel Beads. Thank you for tuning into HBHTV.
The Living Music List
Hello again, friend. I hope you enjoyed today’s episode of HBHTV. For continued listening, I’ve got some recommendations of recently released albums and EPs down below.
Happy listening.
Blank Slate, Open Space by Alaskan Tapes & Blu Miles (EP / ambient jazz) [We All Speak In Poems]
Intimate ambient piano and saxophone (with other instruments like guitar and clarinet occasionally coming through). Quiet, gentle, and contemplative.
RadgePacketRemorse by Andrew Wood (album / experimental, field recordings) [1.44mb]
A lightly haunting lofi collage of unidentifiable field recordings, synths, and noise, all presented in the uniquely compressed format of a floppy disk. More on this album over on the label’s Substack.
Yutori by Buildings and Food (album / Kankyō ongaku, electronic) [Independent]
Minimalist synth ambient with a bit of a lofi feel, made in the spirit of 20th century Japanese environmental music by artist Jen K. Wilson, whom I interviewed almost exactly 1 year ago.
Loud Bloom by Olof Dreijer (album / dance) [dh2]
Vibrant, hypnotic house music that dances away from conventions, created by a member of iconic Swedish electronic pop group The Knife and released on The 1975 drummer/producer George Daniel’s dh2 imprint.
Where This Ends by Polyvinyl (EP / indie rock) [Independent]
New Wave-inspired indie rock that sounds 40 years old in the best way, with a singer who has an absolutely classic female rock voice. Single Bad Dreams could have been in a John Hughes movie.
Lobos trio by LOBOS TRIO (album / free jazz) [Camembert Électrique]
This debut release from an Argentinian trio is satisfyingly plunky, percussive, and playful.
Music List Reminders: Bandcamp links provided first when available—if an album is not on Bandcamp, then YouTube, Soundcloud, or other preview links are provided. List format: Title by Artist (release type / approximate genre or subgenres) [Label].
That’s all for this week’s issue. Thank you for reading. Until next time.
Your friend,
Melted Form
