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 album… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Thom Yorke

[MP3] of Montreal: “Coquet Coquette”
New of Montreal. should I start every sentence with a lowercase first letter to get you in the spirit of things? i Think i will. “Coquet Coquette” is fairly typical of Montreal to be honest, but the instrumental end to the song is spooky and eerie and [insert like-minded synonym]. the Song is a bit… Continue reading [MP3] of Montreal: “Coquet Coquette”
[MP3] Hammer No More the Fingers: “Shutterbug”
Do you ever listen to a song that is something you totally don’t normally like, and then inexplicably like it anyway? Yeah, me neither. What’s up with that? Poseurs, right?

The song,… Continue reading [MP3] Hammer No More the Fingers: “Shutterbug”

When they strike gold, they are utterly amazing (See: “Elevator Love Letter”, “Your Ex-Lover is Dead”, “Look Up”, “Ageless Beauty”), but oftentimes they limit themselves to songs that mosey along without much affect, relying simply on Amy… Continue reading Stars’ The Five Ghosts is full of consistent, illusory pop, but will it be remembered?
