A lot of the material we’ve heard from the new Raveonettes album, In And Out Of Control, is pretty bleak. It’s all about sadness and rape (??) and stuff, all in the style of old 50s pop tunes revamped for the 21st century. So does the video for their new song, “Last Dance,” match that… Continue reading The Raveonettes make adorable video for “Last Dance”

Otis Heat
On Portland trio Otis Heat’s debut album, Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Uh Huh, they have two very distinct sides. On one hand they play the lazy, downtrodden, blues-influenced alternative folk rock that is just tremendous. Very impressive. The rest of the time, they play funky jam-bandy material that just seems, well, lesser. It’s not necessarily… Continue reading Otis Heat
Music Go Music debut video for “Light of Love”
The song has been around since last summer (maybe longer?) but Music Go Music released “Light of Love” on their debut full-length just yesterday. Fittingly, they debuted a new music video to accompany it. It’s pretty much the best disco rock throwback song you’ve heard in a long time. It’s also insanely catchy. The album,… Continue reading Music Go Music debut video for “Light of Love”
[Music Video] The Flaming Lips: “I Can Be A Frog”
Oh, Flaming Lips, you guys could make anything and I’d love it. Is that bad? Maybe. But is this video for their new single “I Can Be A Frog,” off upcoming release, Embryonic, bad? No, no it is not. It is cute. And it is fun. And I like it very much.
[Music Video] Clues: “You Have My Eyes Now”
This video for Clues’ track, “You Have My Eyes Now,” came out yesterday and received a ton of praise, because, well it’s awesome. It features an incredible Tim Heidecker, of Tim and Eric, who should just stick to making music videos. I think it might be what he does best… Clues, comprised of members of… Continue reading [Music Video] Clues: “You Have My Eyes Now”
[Music Video] Sunset Rubdown: “Black Swan”
It’s a music video kind of day! And there’s not a thing wrong with that. Sometimes we just like expressing our thoughts and artistic ideas through a visual format rather than music. Unity and togetherness, everybody. This one is from 2009 heroes Sunset Rubdown doing “Black Swan” from their last album Dragonslayer. And the awesome… Continue reading [Music Video] Sunset Rubdown: “Black Swan”
Some guy makes the Best Music Video of 2009
Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” already has a video. A creepy one. Very much weird. But that didn’t stop Gabe Askew from making his own video for the song! Nope, he’s an artist and he’s making his own damn video thank you very much. And what a video it is! It’s creative, original, aesthetically pleasing and… Continue reading Some guy makes the Best Music Video of 2009
Video for Wheat’s “Changes Is”
I don’t have much to say about this video, except that I like it. A lot. It’s a mix of retro/play around on your digital camera/have a lot of fun/modern art all together in one. Oh and I love the “party”. Impossible not to smile. [youtube width=”560″ height=”344″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySihjcHkZQ[/youtube] “Changes Is” is off of Wheat’s new album… Continue reading Video for Wheat’s “Changes Is”
Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins release video for ‘Autumn Spills’
[myspace width=”550″ height=”360″]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=59399043[/myspace] Charming, colorful, quirky. I love this video (though, I’m partial; I love this song). If you have a REALLY short-term memory, this is the same Sarah RabDAU I just profiled the other day. See that post here. Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins – “Autumn Spills” [MP3] I guess it’s a piano-pop day,… Continue reading Sarah RabDAU and Self-Employed Assassins release video for ‘Autumn Spills’
[Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
There have been a lot of videos lately that show extraordinary artistic presence and some that, despite being a giant creepfest, attempt to do something really different. Ear Pwr’s new video for “Future Eyes” is neither of these things, and that’s precisely why I like it. It’s just two kids and their friends having fun… Continue reading [Video] Ear Pwr: “Future Eyes”
