Up-and-coming band Ruse of Fools just released a video for their single “The Flood,” and whoa, some guy on their YouTube channel said it was the best video he’s seen in the past 10 years. When I saw that, I chuckled and said — and excuse my language — “that is highly unlikely.” Well then… Continue reading Ruse of Fools make the best video of the last 10 years (not my words)

Hey look it’s the trailer for the new Clint Eastwood movie or whatever
So Clint Eastwood has a movie coming out called Invictus, and it’s so Oscar Baitey that it makes Crash look like Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It stars Morgan Freeman and a blond Matt Damon, and the first official trailer was released today. I like Oscar-type movies, the snob I am, but after watching this…seriously? What… Continue reading Hey look it’s the trailer for the new Clint Eastwood movie or whatever
Ólafur Arnalds creates some lovely, if unmoving, tunes on Found Songs
It makes sense that Ólafur Arnalds‘ newest, Found Songs, doesn’t pack quite the same punch as Eulogy for Evolution does. In April, Arnalds composed and recorded a song daily for seven days, releasing each one to the web immediately. As a result, we have ourselves some Ólafur lite — while this isn’t the worst thing… Continue reading Ólafur Arnalds creates some lovely, if unmoving, tunes on Found Songs
LOST Babies!
I’m assuming there’s a whole legion of about four people out there who still watch LOST, and have stuck with it through five seasons. I’m one of them, so for the three people out there who care, this one’s for you! So basically it’s LOST Babies, and while it’s mostly what you would expect from… Continue reading LOST Babies!
Modest Mouse unleashes video for “The Whale Song”
I guess I’m a day late on this, but the awesomeness here completely outweighs the lack of punctuality. It’s a new Modest Mouse video! It’s for “The Whale Song,” and looks like exactly what I’d expect from a Modest Mouse video. There’s sub-primitive Iron Man technology, Isaac Brock playing the guitar while sort of floating,… Continue reading Modest Mouse unleashes video for “The Whale Song”
[Video] Sufjan plays awesome new song live
The artist: The incomparable Sufjan Stevens. The song: “Too Much Love” (according to the title of the video). It’s a 7-minute epic played by Sufjan at a show in Ithaca Wednesday that features brass, synth, guitar, piano and a whole lot of talent. The quality of the video is pretty outstanding for YouTube. And the… Continue reading [Video] Sufjan plays awesome new song live
And this is why I respect the hell out of Muse
Hey, I may not have liked The Resistance, and that might make me a terrible person, but whatever dude. I still have always respected and even liked (gasp!) Muse, especially earlier in the band’s tenure. Apparently, the band was told to play to a backing track for a recent performance on Italian TV. Well, Muse… Continue reading And this is why I respect the hell out of Muse
Phenomenal Video Saturday (on Monday): iLiKETRAiNS, again
Yeah, so I’m late by a couple days. You mean to tell me you’ve never been late for anything? No? Well, okay, sorry for jumping to conclusions like that. It won’t happen again. (Check out last week’s PVS here.) Anyway, this video will continue my obsessive love for everything iLiKETRAiNS, who – surprise! – are… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday (on Monday): iLiKETRAiNS, again
Sea Wolf makes artsy video explaining new song “Wicked Blood”
It’s a video titled “White Water, White Bloom Vol. 1” (named after their upcoming album) and it’s only 58 seconds long. But oh is it chock-full of artistic merit (a wobbly record spinning alone atop a grassy hill, paintings of dogs hung on trees). And it explains a little bit about the band’s new track,… Continue reading Sea Wolf makes artsy video explaining new song “Wicked Blood”
