And what a performance it was.… Continue reading Seafoam and the Psychedelic Chain Gang’s performance at The Highline Ballroom

New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”

So “Tonight” was just a bonus track from Lykke Li’s debut Youth Novels, but I guess it gets a video anyway (where’s the video for “Little Bit,” huh?). Stereogum premiered the video earlier today, and appropriately drew a connection to Sinead O’Connor (minus the whole picture of the pope thing). It’s pretty basic, and compared to her awesome last videos,… Continue reading New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”

New(?) Ting Tings Video: “That’s Not My Name”

Even though “That’s Not My Name” came on the Ting Ting’s debut We Started Nothing earlier this year, and even though they already made a video for said single, they for some reason made a new, flashier clip. Unlike apparently every “music aficionado” on the planet, I happen to love the Ting Tings and this song was… Continue reading New(?) Ting Tings Video: “That’s Not My Name”
