You won’t find the video of The Prodigy‘s “Smack My Bitch Up” on YouTube because it’s been banned, but the comeback band of the moment recently posted this amazing first-hand style footage from their show last month at Brixton Academy. Watch Keith Flint psych himself up in the dressing room by repeatedly screaming the F-word, but it all pays off as he goes straight into the packed crowd to lock heads with his fans as the band opens with the aforementioned classic. Some of the footage recalls the infamous scene in Spinal Tap where the band can’t find the stage, but this clip is nonetheless awesome.

BSTV: The Crystal Method
The Crystal Method‘s Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland sat down with Big Shot backstage at Webster Hall in New York City and discussed their forthcoming album, Divided By Night. The album features a host of cameos, including Matisyahu (who appears on the first single, “Drown In The Now”), Justin Warfield, Emily Haines, Meiko, and others. We’ve heard a few tracks from Divided, and they’re killer. But let’s allow the boys to tell you more about what’s in store in this exclusive video.
BSTV: Moby
Big Shot met up with good-friend-of-the-magazine Moby (who readers will recall served as the guest editor for our first anniversary issue) in Soho earlier this week, and we found out that he’s been holed up in his studio, making music as if his life depended on it and DJing quite a bit (that part we already knew). Moby, who penned a lil’ story in Issue 25 (more on that at a later date), is readying the release of his new DJ mix, Last Night Remixed, which features the acclaimed electronic music pioneer mixing up remixes of tracks from his most recent album, Last Night. In this exclusive clip, Moby explains why the time was right to do a mix CD.
BSTV: Tricky
Tricky‘s Knowle West Boy is one of the year’s better albums. In a revealing interview with Big Shot (which appeared in Issue 23), Tricky spoke about the importance of his fans and why ego is such a dangerous thing.
