Phenomenal Video Saturday: Glissando

This week’s PVS is a band I’m particularly fond of, Glissando, performing an abridged version of its magisterial “Floods” at a London Chapel. The song is slow and brooding — all we have is a pair of gorgeous voices, a slow piano and a guitar for coloring — but it’s very lovely all the […]

Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”

Jónsi recently licensed his song “Go Do” off his stellar solo debut, Go (our review here), for use in a new commercial (Dulux Walls Ad) for the Let’s Colour Project. The Let’s Colour Project is a worldwide initiative for local communities to paint schools, streets, homes, and squares. My words will probably get in […]

Phenomenal Video Saturday: DeVotchKa

Welcome, minions, to Phenomenal Video Saturday. I’m using the video I have this week to make a point. A very important one, too.

See, there’s a school of thought out there of people who saw Little Miss Sunshine, a fine film, and latched onto DeVotchKa‘s “How it Ends,” the song that begins the movie. […]

Stream an hour long Mumford & Sons Concert

Considering this is such a long video, I hesitated to post it. But then I listened, transfixed, to the first song of the set, “Sigh No More.” It continues to baffle me how the band can conjure up so much raw intensity with only a kick drum and tambourine in terms of percussion.

Anyway, […]

Phenomenal Video Saturday: There Will Be Fireworks

I’ve written about There Will Be Fireworks before, and how much of a fan I am of the band’s Explosions In The Sky meets every Scottish band ever sound, though it gives me sadface that they only have one, self-titled album.

But holy tantalizing previews of new songs, Batman, it’s a tantalizing preview of […]

Dog and wolf sing a heartbreaking duet

Full disclosure: this duet is not heartbreaking. Nor is it a wolf and a dog singing it.

It’s just freaking awesome. I don’t need to say any more.

Phenomenal Video Saturday: Thom Yorke

Man, you’d think after so many Phenomenal Video Saturdays I’d just run out of videos to share. But I’m an intrepid researcher, you see. Don’t fear.

However, we’re going back to Radiohead territory this week; actually, more like Thom Yorke solo territory. This is a terrific performance of the hypnotizing “Cymbal Rush” from his […]
