New Peter Bjorn & John Video “Nothing To Worry About”

So PB&J finally made a video for their latest single “Nothing To Worry About” off their upcoming album, Living Thing, and it’s… well yeah. Dancing gangs? In Asia? Ok guys, that works.

M.I.A., Radiohead go crazy with Grammy performances

M.I.A. and Radiohead are both slotted to perform at this years’ Grammy Awards, but these aren’t your mother’s performances. M.I.A is playing the show nine months pregnant, actually on her due date (coolest birth ever?). Meanwhile Radiohead is planning on playing with the University of Southern California marching band. What, like the Grammys is the… Continue reading M.I.A., Radiohead go crazy with Grammy performances

Heartless Bastards make new “Best Album of 2009” with The Mountain

Heartless Bastards released The Mountain this week and it’s pretty much the bees knees. Combining equal elements of folk, garage rock and awesome, the band created a well-crafted album that might be a serious contender for our Best Album of 2009 award.

New Austin Lace Video: “Katz”

Here’s a cool video from France’s Austin Lace. The song is “Katz” and it’s from their latest release, The Motherman, on Bang! . The video is all “we like doing a little cut scene at a gas station” and “people with weird big fake heads are cool.” Oh, just watch it. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2Ezn0rAnw8]

New Fleet Foxes Video: “Mykonos”

Here’s the latest video from that band everybody loves to love, Fleet Foxes. It’s actually an incredibly cool video and has my consideration for best video of 2009, right next to the new Animal Collective for album of the year. (Video thanks to Pitchfork).

The Kills debut “Black Balloon” video

“Black Balloon” was on The Kills‘ latest album, Midnight Boom, which came out last year, but it’s also going to be appearing on the Black Balloon EP, coming out sometime in March/April.

Remember when Green Day wore masks?

I recently dug up a copy of my Network CD from back in 2003. If you don’t know, The Network (aka Network!), was a six piece new-wave band consisting of Green Day and some friends wearing masks and silly costumes. It was like, seriously weird. Each band member had a pseudonym and a background story.… Continue reading Remember when Green Day wore masks?
