The White House was host last month to a great selection of fine musicians like Jack White, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld, Emmylou Harris, all of which performed as a tribute to Paul McCartney. Although it’s been a while since this happened it’s only been until today that video footage of the event has finally surfaced. Check out some incredible performances by Jack White and Dave Grohl performing “Mother Nature’s Son” and “My Michelle”,…
Although written by the prolific James Shelton in the 1950’s, “Lilac Wine” was catapulted to modern day classic status not before 1994 when Jeff Buckley covered it, capturing all its splendor. Now, it’s a bit hard to tell if the Cinematic Orchestra version is a Jeff Buckley (likely) or a James Shelton cover, but even though the performance might not be stellar, the video is. Developed by one of my favorite creative agencies, Blind, this…
Recorded during the making of the recently released bluesy sensation “Brothers”, the video for The Black Keys’ “The Afraid To Love You” surprises a glimpse of the magic that unfolds in the studio as Auerbach and Carney let it rip. Check out this black and white beau below. “Brothers” is out now via Nonesuch Records.
This just came in our inbox and boy do we love it! My name is Ori Toor and i just graduated from the shenkar school of design, majoring in illustration and animation. My final project is a stream of consciousness video for the song “Lion in a Coma” by Animal Collective, made frame by frame in flash. No script, no planning ahead.

What the heck just happened? No, seriously, WHAT happened, Maya? As if it wasn’t enough M.I.A.’s new album is totally disappointing, with respect to general musical standards (If I were to compare “Maya” to her previous other two records… well, you get the idea), last night’s Letterman performance topped anything one could call pathetic. I’m still pretty shocked! Honestly, I’m not even sure if it was bad BAD or intentionally bad – you never fucking…
This is undoubtedly the best music video I’ve been granted to see all year long. Lush, incredible special effects and fantastic cinematography – it all comes together with FlyLo’s (feat. Thundercat) incredible ‘MmmHmm’ resulting into an almost religious experience. MmmHmm is off Flying Lotus’ recently released third full length effort, the highly recommended Cosmogramma.
Finally, someone thought it would be only decent to grant my favorite track off Merriweather Post Pavilion, “Guys Eyes”, its own music video. When talking Animal Collective, it’s either extravagantly complex or in your face simple, and it’s that exact subtle mix between avantgard and AC’s straight forward, no bullshit approach to music that makes us love and cherish this band – this particular video falls on the more grounded part of the AC. The…
Folks, I give you Talk Music! If up ’till now you happen to be unfamiliar with Dan Smith’s sound, better know as Listener, then be happy and rejoice for you have now come across one of the few artists in the scene today that can actually think with both heart and brains. His new album called “Wooden Heart” is out today, July 6th, and I urge anyone who’s keen on dwelling into a mind reinvigorating…
Damon Albarn and his Gorillaz had some big shoes to fill this weekend at the famous Glastonbury Festival, where they played as headliners, replacing U2 who had to cancel their summer tour after Bono’s injury. Add that to the fact that last year Damon Albarn headlined the festival, when he played a legendary gig with Blur, and you’ve got really high expectations on your hands. Gorillaz where up to it, however, and delivered an uplifting…
