It’s all singing rafts and light-up hermit crab shells for Texas’ The Octopus Project. But come on, did you really doubt they would make a cute indie video for their cute indie song? Let’s be real. This is an Austin band. The city’s slogan is “Keep Austin Weird” but it should be changed to “Keep… Continue reading The Octopus Project keep it artsy in “Wet Gold” video

Video for Wheat’s “Changes Is”
I don’t have much to say about this video, except that I like it. A lot. It’s a mix of retro/play around on your digital camera/have a lot of fun/modern art all together in one. Oh and I love the “party”. Impossible not to smile. [youtube width=”560″ height=”344″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySihjcHkZQ[/youtube] “Changes Is” is off of Wheat’s new album… Continue reading Video for Wheat’s “Changes Is”
Confide covers “Such Great Heights” chug chug chug
This video’s been making the internet rounds lately based largely on the fact that it’s freaking fantastic. Underoath copiers extraordinaire Confide (don’t click that) apparently thought it would be totally hardcore to record a cover of The Postal Service‘s “Such Great Heights,” and here’s the video. Hilarity ensues. Or not. I really don’t know, I’m… Continue reading Confide covers “Such Great Heights” chug chug chug
Dirty Projectors go into the woods for “Stillness is the Move”
Have you ever wanted to see Dave Longstreth inexplicably rotate while playing guitar? Have you ever wanted to pet a llama at the top of a cliff? Have you ever wanted to see the girls of Dirty Projectors dressed kinda like druids with parachute pants? Have you ever wanted HOLY SHIT IS THAT A WOLF?… Continue reading Dirty Projectors go into the woods for “Stillness is the Move”

Silversun Pickups hit #1 on the Billboard charts
Well, that’s impressive. Silversun Pickups‘ single “Panic Switch” has risen to the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard charts, which makes them the first independent artist since 1998 to receive the honors, and the only the third in the history of forever (the other two were songs by Everlast and The Offspring in the ’90’s).… Continue reading Silversun Pickups hit #1 on the Billboard charts
The new Animal Collective video hurts my mind with metaphor
Does it represent birth? Death? The fleeting moments in life we all share and should appreciate better? Ummm… like, maybe how we should… help the environment or something?? I really don’t understand, but a video like this is pretty much expected from Baltimore oddballs Animal Collective. Sorry guys, you may have made The Best Album of… Continue reading The new Animal Collective video hurts my mind with metaphor
[Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
There have been a lot of videos lately that show extraordinary artistic presence and some that, despite being a giant creepfest, attempt to do something really different. Ear Pwr’s new video for “Future Eyes” is neither of these things, and that’s precisely why I like it. It’s just two kids and their friends having fun… Continue reading [Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
Grizzly Bear’s video for “Two Weeks” is creepy…
The Best Song of 2009, “Two Weeks” by the unstoppable Grizzly Bear, finally got the video treatment and it’s really creepy… 🙁 I’m going to pretend this didn’t happen… Why is there light shooting out of their mouths? What’s with the sparks and fire? WHY DOES THAT ONE GUY BLINK SO STRANGELY?? I’m sure there’s… Continue reading Grizzly Bear’s video for “Two Weeks” is creepy…
