Well, I held back on this for a bit so there wouldn’t be much bias in posting, but now it’s time for show and tell. Consider it a special Sunday night post. Black Light Dinner Party, whom I’ve previously written about in a mysterious way, recently released their new song “We Are Golden.” And with that… Continue reading Black Light Dinner Party: “We Are Golden”

Daphne Lee Martin breaks the video mold with “Belly”
It’s probably easy for a director to come up with a video for a song like Daphne Lee Martin’s “Belly.” Put the band in, I don’t know, some period clothing? Have them walk slow motion through, what, a saloon? Maybe cut in some shots of them in a field of wildflowers, Daphne picking one and… Continue reading Daphne Lee Martin breaks the video mold with “Belly”
[Video + MP3] Black Light Dinner Party: “Older Together”
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/21676854[/vimeo] Music videos I love have been popping up with more frequency this past week or so, including Germany Germany’s “Take Me Home,” and now Black Light Dinner Party’s “Older Together.” I’m only familiar with Black Light Dinner Party because it’s a project of a good Knox Road friend, whose identity I can’t share with… Continue reading [Video + MP3] Black Light Dinner Party: “Older Together”
Radical Faceâs new video for âDoorwaysâ
Hear ye! Hear Ye! Radical Face (Ben Cooper) has released the video for âDoorwaysâ from the recently released Touch the Sky EP. Conjuring up images of Peter Pan and, to get a bit personal (as always), my sister and I playing in the wooded area across the street from my childhood home, Cooper and collaborator… Continue reading Radical Faceâs new video for âDoorwaysâ
Arcade Fire make a personalized, interactive video for âWe Used To Waitâ
Well this is something new and different. The Arcade Fire have always been into pushing the themes of their albums and the suburban angst from their latest, The Suburbs, is no more clear than in their new video for “We Used To Wait.” The music video website asks you to first enter the address of… Continue reading Arcade Fire make a personalized, interactive video for âWe Used To Waitâ
MGMTâs video for âCongratulationsâ tells us where stars are born
I think I’m getting used to MGMT videos now. Are they weird, odd, against the grain? Yes. But does that make them bad or unwatchable? Never! I’m sure they represent things that are very deep and meaningful! And visually they’re always interesting and unique! In this one we have our familiar heros traveling through some… Continue reading MGMTâs video for âCongratulationsâ tells us where stars are born
Harlem go acoustic on “Tila and I” in streets of Amsterdam
Harlem released their great LP, Hippies, a few months ago, toured extensively and now can be found playing a wonderful acoustic version of “Tila and I” on the streets of Amsterdam. Great! Amsterdam Acoustics made the video, which features a very tired-looking Harlem playing a much softer, sweeter version of the song. It’s an interesting… Continue reading Harlem go acoustic on “Tila and I” in streets of Amsterdam
MGMT constructs possibly evil machine in nutzo video for “It’s Working”
I talked a lot about the art of the music video after MGMT premiered their last video for “Flash Delirium.” Well now the boys are back with another video for “It’s Working” from their love-it-or-hate-it sophomore album, Congratulations (for the record, I loved it). The new video is more of the same confusing possible metaphors… Continue reading MGMT constructs possibly evil machine in nutzo video for “It’s Working”
Veronica Falls make too-cool-for-school video for “Beachy Head”
British group Veronica Falls has made a extra-cool, grey-toned, art-house music video for their single “Beachy Head.” Aside from the obviously fun name, the track is great. It’s real head-sticker (if you will). The video is just the coolest of cool. I’m jealous I’m not this cool… Please help me be cool, Veronica Falls? Veronica… Continue reading Veronica Falls make too-cool-for-school video for “Beachy Head”
Dum Dum Girls release silly funtimes video for “Bhang Bhang, I’m A Burnout”
Lo-fi girl group Dum Dum Girls recently released a pretty good debut record, and now have their second video from it for the single “Bhang Bhang, I’m A Burnout.” I called the song a “cute pop track” in my review of I Will Be, and I not only stand by that initial assessment, but also… Continue reading Dum Dum Girls release silly funtimes video for “Bhang Bhang, I’m A Burnout”
