Tibi PuiuAussie three piece [tag]Liars[/tag] have just released their new video for “Plaster Casts of Everything’,part of their self-titled upcoming album. The video itself is rather strange, directed by indie experinced video maker Patrick Daughters; it depicts frontman Angus Andrew apparently gone berserk, speeding on a dirty road, with his face looking very disturbing, overlappsed 2-3 times symmetrically with the body of a woman (I think it’s [tag]Karen O[/tag], please tell me if I’m wrong). Half…

New Black Lips video: ‘Katrina’
Here’s a strange one from Atlanta flower punks [tag]Black Lips[/tag], named Katrina, a lover’s call to his lady friend ( err a hurricane i guess) . The single is extracted from their upcoming album “Good Bad Not Evil”, due to be released on September 11. The video is extremely catchy, with a lot of closeups (actually mustache closeups, yuck), and background set changes in color. Oh and is the drummer banging with fish or with…

Mastodon video: ‘Sleeping Giant’
Fresh from their Pitchfork performance, [tag]Mastodon[/tag] delights us once more with a awesome video for their track “Sleeping Giant”, from 2006’s metal masterpiece “Blood Mountain”. The video is great, to say the least, director Roboshobo perfectly glimpsing the tracks meaning and lyrics. The video is set in a Sci-fi world, most likely in a space science laboratory. A blind humanoid, of apparent great intellectual capabilities, maybe divine, is set intro a chamber by two priests…
New Maxïmo Park video: ‘Girls Who Play Guitars’
Here’s a great song and video from one of my favorite band [tag]Maximo Park[/tag], called “Girls Who Play Guitars”. It’s got everything that screams brit pop about it, and the lyrics are fun to sing along with. The video was directed by Leslie Ali, a good choice i might add as the video goes well with the song, leading to loads of fun. In the begging the band play in a all white outfit, in…
‘Dick In A Box’ nominated for a Emmy
A few months ago, in December, as part of the SNL’s Digital Short comedian, a music video was aired staring Andy Samberg and pop star Justin Timberlake, called “Dick In A Box”. The video was satirical to boy bands, Andy and JT both looking like 2 boyband wannabes, with a hilarious Backstreet Boys look and with a neo-soul croon sound. Anyway 7 months later it seems they’ve been nominated for a Emmy for Outstanding Original…
New Blonde Redhead video: ‘The Dress’
I’ve always had the deepest respect for one of my favorite Indie bands [tag]Blonde Redhead[/tag], delighting people with their music and work for 10 years now. Their last release “23” simply blew my mind, its such a great record with great songs. One of these great songs is “The Dress”, a very pretty and passionate song, but also delightfully uncanny, thanks to Makino’s masterful whisper. The video was directed by Mike Mills, a man with…
