Thanks to Joe from Each Note Secure, we have video of Justin Vernon covering Tom Petty’s “Crawling Back To You” at Cincinnati’s MusicNOW 2010 festival. It’s a stirring rendition, complete with an (small) orchestral backing and Vernon’s quivering voice. But his vocals actually take a back seat, as the violin and electric guitar are front… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Justin Vernon covers Tom Petty

[Video + MP3] Milly Beau covers The Flaming Lips
One of my favorite new artists (as you well know), Milly Beau, recently took to the Gibson Guitar Showcase in NYC to perform stripped down versions of several old and new songs, along with a cover of The Flaming Lips’s “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots”. Below you’ll find a video of the cover, as Doran’s… Continue reading [Video + MP3] Milly Beau covers The Flaming Lips
Lali Puna’s new album, Our Inventions, released today
Lali Puna has released the much-anticipated Our Inventions, their first new material in over five years. The album is significantly less layered than previous material, but still contains the glitchy stuff Lali Puna has become known for. Pick it up from Morr Music, and check out the video for “That Day”, full of animated smiling bears,… Continue reading Lali Puna’s new album, Our Inventions, released today
A bunch of little kids cover Phoenix’s “Lisztomania”
The kids in the chorus at PS22 are used to covering popular songs for popular people. But now they’ve taken on Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and BOY do they ever take it on. “Breathtaking” is the word that comes to mind. These kids sound great! And the song sounds great! And just everything comes together into a… Continue reading A bunch of little kids cover Phoenix’s “Lisztomania”
iPad promo video features Wakey!Wakey!’s “Almost Everything…”
I know I’m a few weeks late, but I only recently stumbled upon the YouTube video so I decided to post this bit of info now. I also didn’t want to let it to go unnoticed because every time I watch the video I think about the music more than the iPad itself. That’s what… Continue reading iPad promo video features Wakey!Wakey!’s “Almost Everything…”
Dancing white people make Neon Indian’s Fallon performance super uncomfortable
[youtube width=”540″ height=”360″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bizXP08HiCo[/youtube] Basically everybody is loving Neon Indian’s debut TV performance on Jimmy Fallon’s show last night, and they played pretty well sans the awkward people dancing in the background of EVERY SHOT. I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable. Maybe it’s just upsetting because I’m the kind of person who can’t help but think about… Continue reading Dancing white people make Neon Indian’s Fallon performance super uncomfortable
[MP3 + Video] Bear Hands: “What A Drag”
Summer seems like so long ago now doesn’t it? Remember Bear Hands, the guys we were pleasantly surprised with musically at the Siren Festival? Well, they’ve just released a video and free mp3 for their single “What A Drag” which has been floating around for quite some time but is now officially out with a… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Bear Hands: “What A Drag”
Kevin Devine releases super literal video for “Another Bag of Bones”
“Another Bag of Bones” is easily one of my top three favorites on Kevin Devine’s Brother’s Blood, mostly for its lyricism — each verse is a carefully constructed burst of images, and each image comes across essentially as a list. That’s why it’s kind of disappointing that the video for the song is all “let’s… Continue reading Kevin Devine releases super literal video for “Another Bag of Bones”
[MP3 + Video] Angus & Julia Stone: “And The Boys”
What’s that? New music from Australian sibling sensations Angus & Julia Stone?? With Angus’s new side project, Lady Of The Sunshine, receiving its fair share of press lately, he seems quite willing to let Julia take the reigns on “And The Boys”, the new single from their forthcoming (March 2010) sophomore LP, Down The Way.… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Angus & Julia Stone: “And The Boys”
[MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”
Fredrik offered up a new mp3 today along with an accompanying video over at Stereogum, and they’re both awesome. The video is all sorts of eerie, as was said previously about Fredrik’s “Locked in the Basement” track, so their forthcoming album, Trilogi, appears to be getting darker by the day. I’ve said plenty about Fredrik… Continue reading [MP3] Fredrik: “Vinterbarn”
