This week’s PVS was recommended to me by the incomparable Lee Levin (the one who writes for the site. THIS SITE!). It’s a very well-shot* video of KR favorites Wakey!Wakey! piling into a Brooklyn loft and covering Yeasayer’s “Ambling Alp.” The coolest thing about the video, besides the violin part that pretty much ties the… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Wakey!Wakey! does Yeasayer

KR Presents: Two new mp3s from Color of Clouds!
On Monday you may have noticed I posted a little info about Color of Clouds’ record release for Satellite of Love (April 6) and accompanying show at Pianos in NYC (on April 8). Well now we’ve got an extra special treat for ya. We’re providing you with two of the new new tracks (not the remastered… Continue reading KR Presents: Two new mp3s from Color of Clouds!
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Bon Iver does Okkervil River*
Don’t you just love when this happens? Back in, like, the dinosaur times (2008), Okkervil River released The Stand-Ins, and as a companion piece of sorts, had other bands cover the album’s songs. So they got Zykos for “On Tour with Zykos” and Ola Podrida for “Calling and Not Calling my Ex,” among others. Will… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Bon Iver does Okkervil River*
Letting Up Despite Great Faults releases charming teaser for new music video
Our friends Letting Up Despite Great Faults recently released a teaser to their much ballyhooed (…by us) upcoming music video for “Our Younger Noise”. It’s charming, enthralling, and VERY cute. Remember how I talked about their sound being perfect for films? And then I proceeded to describe my own made-up scene? Looks like my wish… Continue reading Letting Up Despite Great Faults releases charming teaser for new music video
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Yeah, it’s video game music
Not only video game music, mind you, but Final Fantasy music. This song is called “To Zanarkand,” and it opens up Final Fantasy X. Before you laugh condescendingly and leave, give it a listen. Ever since I first played the game (and, by extension, heard the song) about 9 or so years ago, “To Zanarkand”… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Yeah, it’s video game music
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
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Josh Ritter
In honor of Josh Ritter’s soon-to-be new album, So Runs the World Away, this week’s PVS is shoving some Ritter right up in your face. Ow, your face! Haha, just kidding. This is the good kind of face-shoving. This performance is of “To the Dogs or Whoever,” from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, on… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Josh Ritter
New demo from Matt Kanelos
Matt Kanelos and his band The Smooth Maria (emphasis on “Mar” as in MARia) have been up to big things lately, including a feature spot on ABC’s Private Practice (with the song “What You’re Supposed To Do”). I actually received quite a few happy remarks from friends (including my sister!) after they heard the song… Continue reading New demo from Matt Kanelos
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sunny Day Real Estate
Old news, you guys: Sunny Day Real Estate played some shows a while back! I probably heard it was going down when the band announced it months ago, but I had never really been a fan of the band, so I didn’t care too much. Now, I’m not going to say that this video you’re… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sunny Day Real Estate
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sigur Rós
So I was trolling along YouTube this morning, just filling my normal quota of adorable animals being tickled*, when I came across Sigur Rós playing “Gobbledigook” live. Don’t ask how I ended up there, busybody. I have my reasons. I always knew that performances of “Gobbledigook” were super fun affairs, with a billion (give or… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sigur Rós
