Throughout all the weeks that have ever existed, there have been some pretty important weeks. Remember that one week where there was a war? And that other week when LOST premiered. Those weeks were monumental, you know? Well, in the annals of weeks, this past one will go down as utterly revolutionary because William Shatner… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Phenomenal Video Saturday: 65daysofstatic
This week’s PVS video is one I’ve actually known about for a while (because I’m great, basically), and just never got the opportunity to post it here. So it’s a special one! This is the English post-rock band (don’t run away!) 65daysofstatic performing their ree-diculous song “Radio Protector” from the album One Time for All… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: 65daysofstatic
[Abby’s Road] It’s about the sound, not the words
It never fails: whenever I overhear mumblings of folks yammering away about Jim Morrison and his fantastic poetry (snore) I have to stop myself in my tracks. I. Hate. The. Doors. That said, since we all know Doors fans aren’t made, they’re born, I never bother trying to tell them, anywhere, at any time about… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] It’s about the sound, not the words
[MP3] Broken Social Scene: “World Sick”
Um…is this really happening? I think so. Broken Social Scene just made a free track available from their forthcoming album, Forgiveness Rock Record, which drops May 4 on Arts & Crafts. And wow, it’s a freaking awesome song. As if I couldn’t be any more excited for the new album. The choruses have so much… Continue reading [MP3] Broken Social Scene: “World Sick”
Getting Dirty with Chrissy and Julia
It feels like just last week that I was writing about Detroit bedroom project Coyote Clean Up. And now Chrissy from CCU is teaming up with Maryland artist Julia LaDense for their new project Chrissy and Julia. Can we go wrong here? Well I guess we could, but no we can’t! The combination of Chrissy’s sweeping… Continue reading Getting Dirty with Chrissy and Julia
Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video
Now THAT’S how you make weird music videos. Liars have just released the video for their single “Scissor” off upcoming album Sisterworld, and it’s just what we (at least I) wanted: a guy floating in a raft battling rocks that attack him from the depths of the ocean. Perfect! Does this video mean anything? Maybe.… Continue reading Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video
[MP3] White Hinterland: “No Logic”
Gorilla vs. Bear just premiered “No Logic,” an awesome new track from White Hinterland’s upcoming LP, Kairos. The song has that underwater, slow, drifting in a Caribbean island harbor feel. You know what I mean. We’ve ALL been there before. Along with previously released single “Icarus” I’m getting pretty excited to hear the full album.… Continue reading [MP3] White Hinterland: “No Logic”
Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams
[youtube width=”540″ height=”360″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPLy4-OgAw[/youtube] Huh? Ok, I like weird music videos as much as the next guy, but Shearwater’s video for “Hidden Lakes” gives off too much of a “This video MEANS something. We are 100 percent serious” vibe. The straw hat, HUGE eyelashes, eating something weird off the ground… it all just screams “metaphooorrrrrr….” But… Continue reading Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams
[MP3] The Morning Benders: “Excuses”
The Morning Benders are prepping the release of their new album Big Echo and released the single, “Excuses,” on their website last night. If you’re anything like me and LOVE that 60s pop sound, you’ll be very happy with the new single. I tell ya, the 2010s are looking a lot like the 1960s/70s. Psychedelia,… Continue reading [MP3] The Morning Benders: “Excuses”
Pill Wonder get retro for “Wishing Whale” video
Seattle band Pill Wonder has been making some wonderful music on wonderful label Underwater Peoples, and now they’ve made a wonderful video for song “Wishing Whale.” They basically took a bunch of retro 60/70s video clips and spliced them together with that mirror effect people are liking these days. The song will be on their… Continue reading Pill Wonder get retro for “Wishing Whale” video
