Being both a huge Josh Homme and Arctic Monkeys fan, it’s impossible for me not to love this neo-psychedelia bomb. Adventurous and murky, “Crying Lightning” is a brilliant move forward by the monkeys. Oh, yes, this is gonna be a terribly interesting album – the third in the Arctic Monkeys catalog. Not too interesting of a video for Crying Lightning , though. Just the band, with increasing hair issues (somebody should tell Alex Turner the…
I know this is as old as the internet, but I just came across it again, while I was into a Tool listening sessions on YouTube, after not seeing it for a very long time. The power, the passion and feeling with which this talented piano player, Adam Monroe, managed to turn Lateralus into a whole new song is simply incredible and definitely worth sharing with anyone, be it you’re seeing it for the first…
The black bodysuit man has now become a motive in its right word for of Montreal, since he’s been making cameos in almost all of their shows. Actually the man in the suit is Kevin Barnes’ brother, David, who from time to time likes to alternate the suit with a satyr-like wardrobe. Seems like David isn’t limiting himself to shows either, as he’s the featured star in of Montreal’s latest video for “Mingusings,”one of my…
After last week’s cover of All For The Best, Thom Yorke is back once more, this time with a splendid new song. During his stint at the Suffolk-based Latitude festival Thom premiered the acoustic darling “The Present Tense,” which simply shined among the rest of the Eraser, Radiohead gems. In other related and hilariously sad news, Thom Yorke is reported to have shown interest in contributing to the soundtrack for the upcoming Twilight sequel. “Fortunately,…
Weird Al’s new Divya Srinivasan directed video for “Skipper Dan” doesn’t quite fall in his regular line of visuals or songs for that matter. I mean, the song isn’t parodying anyone particularly, apart from the evident hipster theater grad stereotype, and is actually kinda depressing. The lyrics are anyway, since the song’s really catchy. Check out the story of Dan, the once promising Broadway actor, now only a discontented Disneyland tour guide, right bellow.
Photo by Amanda M Hatfield Here’s another incredible concert I missed out this year. Monday night, Wilco simply electrified the whole Coney Island’s Keyspan Park stage with their dazzling performance, going from hit to hit. Jeff Tweedy was simply amazing, particularly, laying some of the finest and cleanest vocals/guitar solos I’ve seen in a live show (thank God for YouTube) all year long. What made the night even more memorable though were the guest appearances…
Props to You Ain’t No Picasso for blogging about this incredible video, featuring a gang of good friends grooving off to Phoenix’s catchy “Lisztomania.” If you find the moves familiar, then your guess is probably right, since this is a tribute to a… tribute. Anyway, wonderful feel good vibe these beautiful gals and gents are emanating. Have a good one!
Beth Ditto really never ceases to amaze me with her apparent ever replenishing energy. Be it in the studio, on the stage or in a music video, she’s literally everywhere. As it’s the case with most of The Gossip’s video productions, there’s not really much to talk about the music video for the band’s latest single “Heavy Cross,” simply because it’s a tad difficult to understand it. Beth changes like 5 outfits, while the band…
Yeah! Girls, think twice before asking of a man like Jack White to treat you like his mother. First, it’s plain weird, I mean what woman would want to babysit a full, grown-man (don’t answer this. We’re guilty enough as it is). Secondly, because he might bust a cap in your ass, as the new video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” off The Dead Weather’s upcoming debut plainly shows. Quite the automatic showdown between…
Guess it was really just a matter of time until someone thought of shooting a music video solely with an iPhone. I mean, if you can make music on your iPhone, why not shoot a music video too? Makes sense. Showdown Productions LLC, an Ohio based small time production company, just recently finished production on a music video for “Play” by BJSR, using only the new video-capable iPhone 3GS and an improvised camera stabilizer for…
