U.K.’s Friendly Fires just released a new video for “Skeleton Boy” off their September debut LP, Friendly Fires. I like the trick photography in the video. How do they make his whole body disappear?! If this is any sort of indication, 2009 is gonna be awesome. Mp3 too. Friendly Fires – “Skeleton Boy” (MP3) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyA8zfouG4Y]

New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
Fol Chen just released the video for “No Wedding Cake” and it’s a little odd. It has something to do with crabs and whales and mythical creatures?? And watch for the creepy owl. I get a little Stephen King vibe from it. “No Wedding Cake” will appear on the band’s next album, Part I: John Shade,… Continue reading New Fol Chen video full of ocean whimsy
New Of Montreal video: “An Eluardian Instance”
It’s a few days old now, but I can’t get over how much I love the new Of Montreal video for “An Eluardian Instance.” I watch it and sigh, wishing I could live my life full of beaches, kites and ridiculous sunglasses. If you don’t have the song yet, go out and buy their latest… Continue reading New Of Montreal video: “An Eluardian Instance”
Weezer remixes “Pork and Beans” video and YouTube implodes
Because Weezer didn’t include enough YouTube memes in their first video for “Pork and Beans” they decided to “remix” it and throw in about a million more. Too much. WAY too much. I don’t get a lot of these, and I don’t really want to. I think the YouTube viral video era is coming to… Continue reading Weezer remixes “Pork and Beans” video and YouTube implodes
New Alela Diane video: “White As Diamonds”
Folksy artist Alela Diane released “White As Diamonds,” the single from her forthcoming album, To Be Still (out Feb. 17 on Rough Trade), last month, and now we have a great visual to go along with the beautiful song. The video is all cool and touching and deep and stuff. (BTW, I totally called the whole… Continue reading New Alela Diane video: “White As Diamonds”
Franz Ferdinand tries to be all Reservoir Dogs
Franz Ferdinand just released their video for their new single “Ulysses.” With their simple suits and skinny black ties I’m reminded of a certain Quentin Tarantino movie… Only in Scotland and much less badass (think jumping on beds and climbing trees in lieu of bleeding to death and cutting off ears). The band’s new album… Continue reading Franz Ferdinand tries to be all Reservoir Dogs
New Lonely Island Video: “We Like Sportz”
Well this came out a week ago, but somehow I completely missed it. The Dudes of The Lonely Island made “We Like Sportz” as a sequel to their older hit sensation “Just 2 Guyz.” It’s another of the songs sure to be featured on their upcoming release we talked about like forever ago (a month).… Continue reading New Lonely Island Video: “We Like Sportz”

12 Days of Christmas Music: Weird Collaborations
Day 5 of our Christmas music series goes to those bizarre collaborations that have happened this year. Seriously, I want to see the meeting where these people get together and say “You know what would be swell? Us making a Christmas song together!” “A Christmas Duel” The first track I came across was the duet… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: Weird Collaborations
New Bloc Party: “One Month Off”
Bloc Party is releasing a new track on January 26, but they’ve already made a video for it and it’s pretty intense. Made in that sort of classic cutesy/creepy stop motion popularized in old Christmas movies, it takes us around the world of fairy tales and blows it to hell. I’m still not sure what… Continue reading New Bloc Party: “One Month Off”
