Being the news-craving, mile-a-minute journalist I am, I just need to be on the cutting edge of everything going on in the world. So I know that there’s, like, an oil spill or whatever, and a bomb in Times Square, or something, and OMGZ THE NATIONAL ON LETTERMAN! I don’t know about you guys, but… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: The National. On Letterman. Thursday.

Josh Ritter seems to have a lot of fun on tour
…As evidenced by this video we just got in our e-mail. It’s a clip of Ritter and his band plowing through “To the Dogs or Whoever” after making a (presumably) dramatic entrance to the new introductory track “Curtains.” And also, for all our DC brethren, the video was taken at the district’s 9:30 club, which… Continue reading Josh Ritter seems to have a lot of fun on tour
Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Mountain Goats
For this week’s Phenomenal Video Saturday I scoured the depths of YouTube (read: I remembered seeing this video a few months back. Don’t tell anyone) and came across this particularly invigorating clip of The Mountain Goats tearing through the angry “No Children.” I’ve personally never seen John Darnielle and co. live, but after watching this… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Mountain Goats
Trailer leaks for new J.J. Abrams/Spielberg movie “Super 8”
We all know that J.J. Abrams just LOVVVVES secret movie trailers and we all know that a new collaboration between him and Steven Spielberg is bound to get a lot of blood pumping. But after a lot of people were so let down by the actual movie Cloverfield turned out to be (myself not included),… Continue reading Trailer leaks for new J.J. Abrams/Spielberg movie “Super 8”
Jeff Mangum makes another rare appearance; plays songs
For the uninitiated, Jeff Mangum was the force behind indie tastemaker Neutral Milk Hotel, a band that hasn’t released an album since a little before the turn of the century. Learn more about Mangum in Woefully Uninformed Weekly. Yesterday Mangum performed a few songs, including “Oh Comely” and “Two Headed Boy Pt. 2” at a… Continue reading Jeff Mangum makes another rare appearance; plays songs
Phenomenal Video Saturday: mewithoutYou
Now, I’ve posted about mewithoutYou once so very long ago, so I guess now it all comes full circle or something, because almost an entire year later I’m posting an awesome live video from that SAME BAND! It’s so crazy, right? This is an in-store performance of the song “O, Porcupine” from the band’s 2006… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: mewithoutYou
[MP3 + Video] Justin Vernon covers Tom Petty
Thanks to Joe from Each Note Secure, we have video of Justin Vernon covering Tom Petty’s “Crawling Back To You” at Cincinnati’s MusicNOW 2010 festival. It’s a stirring rendition, complete with an (small) orchestral backing and Vernon’s quivering voice. But his vocals actually take a back seat, as the violin and electric guitar are front… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Justin Vernon covers Tom Petty
[MP3] Band of Horses: “Compliments”
New music from Band of Horses! It’s the first single off the upcoming Infinite Arms…and it has random nature visuals (?) to accompany it. Also, thoughts about the new song? I’m not really a fan. It sounds over-produced and not the slightest bit unique. Is it just me? Feel free to disagree. It has a… Continue reading [MP3] Band of Horses: “Compliments”
Phenomenal Video Saturday: eaststrikewest
This week’s PVS is going to be a bit different than past iterations. DON’T FREAK OUT! It’s not that much different, promise. It’s, like, instead of a live video, it’s a produced music video. But it’s a pretty cool video, I think, that goes well with the song. The song in question is “Stumble” from… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: eaststrikewest
Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Antlers
We’re back with a good ol’ The Antlers track, because who doesn’t love The Antlers? The answer is no one doesn’t love The Antlers. The Antlers. This is a performance of “Kettering,” from Hospice, on Spinner Interface. It’s just amazing to watch Peter Silberman and listen to how he jumps up and down with that… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: The Antlers
