This week’s PVS video is one I’ve actually known about for a while (because I’m great, basically), and just never got the opportunity to post it here. So it’s a special one! This is the English post-rock band (don’t run away!) 65daysofstatic performing their ree-diculous song “Radio Protector” from the album One Time for All… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: 65daysofstatic

Phenomenal Video Saturday: Josh Ritter
In honor of Josh Ritter’s soon-to-be new album, So Runs the World Away, this week’s PVS is shoving some Ritter right up in your face. Ow, your face! Haha, just kidding. This is the good kind of face-shoving. This performance is of “To the Dogs or Whoever,” from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, on… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Josh Ritter
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sunny Day Real Estate
Old news, you guys: Sunny Day Real Estate played some shows a while back! I probably heard it was going down when the band announced it months ago, but I had never really been a fan of the band, so I didn’t care too much. Now, I’m not going to say that this video you’re… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sunny Day Real Estate
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sigur Rós
So I was trolling along YouTube this morning, just filling my normal quota of adorable animals being tickled*, when I came across Sigur Rós playing “Gobbledigook” live. Don’t ask how I ended up there, busybody. I have my reasons. I always knew that performances of “Gobbledigook” were super fun affairs, with a billion (give or… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Sigur Rós
Phenomenal Video Saturday: The National
Another week, another video I’ve somehow never posted. This is getting ridiculous. I know how much you all live and breathe every word I say (type), you know? What’s that? Shut up, you say? I’m not that important, you say? Well, ha! Tell that to my supportive mother! A little while ago, The National (a… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: The National

Time for another week of Phenomenal Video Saturday, the only blog post guaranteed to cure diabetes!* This week I have for you a video of Shearwater — who are releasing an album pretty soon, by the way — performing “Leviathan, Bound” from their album Rook at Florence Gould Hall in NYC. I wanted to share… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Shearwater
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Cursive!
How have I not ever posted this video before? I am outraged with myself! Outraged! So in early 2009 Cursive made their network television debut on Letterman with “From the Hips,” from their latest album, Mama, I’m Swollen (tee hee). Now I’m going to go on record and say that I, like, totes wuv Cursive,… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Cursive!
Phenomenal Video Saturday: Lennon Aldort goes all Fountain-y
Oh man! Phenomenal Video Saturday is back after many many years of absence (about 4 months of absence), and back with a vengeance. I think. See for yourself. Or don’t. Whatever. This week I have a treat for all those who enjoy Clint Mansell, The Fountain, and living rooms. The manly man in the video… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: Lennon Aldort goes all Fountain-y
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
Phenomenal video Saturday: Bon Iver
And we’re back with Phenomenal Video Saturday, where I scale back my ostensible weirdness and talk about music, without bad jokes! Check out last week’s PVS right over here. Today I have for you all a video you may have actually seen when it first came out at the end of 2008: it’s another performance… Continue reading Phenomenal video Saturday: Bon Iver
