“Common let’s get hiiiiiiiiigh,” goes Franz Ferdiand’s Alex Kapranos as their latest single, Ulysses, unfolds. As fun as the actual track may be, the video is definitely a spectacle for both ears and eyes, featuring the band sharply dressed, jumping around indoors, streets and a desert (?? space cookies??). Off the band’s latest upcoming studio effort, “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand”, out January 27th.
Think of The Village, only a lot more disturbing and less lame, and you can make an idea of Bodies of Water’s new awesome video for “Under the Pines,” off their last year summer release, “A Certain Feeling.” The video’s plot is quite interesting, although ringing of clichés, but that’s what makes it so fun, because it’s so intentionally predictable, I guess. A man going hunting in the woods, shoots a dog. While gutting it,…
With only a few weeks before the new Bruce Springsteen album, “Working on a Dream,” comes out, spirits are getting pretty restless. Anxious, if you will. The whole tension has been building up since the first video, Lucky Day, popped out – a motivation anthem, packed with hope and messages of change. Bruce’s latest video, however, for the “Life Itself” is quite different, although the setting is kinda the same – Bruce and the guys,…
This year’s “Narrow Stairs”, by Death Cab for Cutie, was beautiful, melancholic, soothing; well damn right awesome. Actually, it’s kinda the album that got me into DCFC and turned me into a fan, so naturally I now always get exited when I get to see the band play. Wednesday, the band graced the Late Late Show with their presence, where they played a very solid performance of “Cath,” off Narrow Stairs, after a proper and,…
It seems Scott’s really Happy In Galoshes. I mean, who can blame him, right? I’d be happy too, if I could get to ride around the mexican desert, next to a hot brunette and, as one can see in his latest video “Missing Cleveland”, get to play astronaut with a blond lady friend. I’m not gonna touch on how the track sounds, ’cause frankly there’s not too much to talk about. Moments like these make…
Yes, I know this has been all over the Internet this past summer, but I’ve just found out about it a few minutes ago and thought it would be awesome to post it. I’m talking about Radiohead (half of it actually – Thom and Johnny) and their cover of Portishead’s “The Rip,” off this year’s awesome comeback album, “Third”. The song’s acoustic nature and the video’s casual setting (try to ignore the MAC) makes the…
Communism, comets, moving dead zombie meat, nostalgic old school animations and so on. You know, the usual Manchurian candidate stuff that Metallica have oh so often used it as a motif – like on their latest video for “All Nightmare Long.” Now if the song was on something like the Red Alert soundtrack, the video would’ve fit quite good, but, apparently, in the current setting, there’s nothing really to tie the video to the song….
Little Joy’s latest self titled debut made quite the buzz in the indie rock scene, upon it’s recent release, gaining quite a lot of positive buzz. Maybe that’s, also, partly because it’s Fabrizio Morreti’s side project, and the swarms that make up The Strokes fan base floked to listen to it. An awesome, feel good album, nonetheless. The lead single, “No One’s Better Sake,” makes up for a great party starter – too bad summer’s…
The Boss is ready to put out another solid release, as his 16th studio album, “Working on a Dream,” is set to get out at the beginning of the new year. I really enjoyed Bruce’s last year album, Magic, and thought it made quite an awesome winter record, because it had that Christmas cheer on so many of the tracks. It had a lot of hope and passion, like most of Bruce Springsteen’s records to…
No, Jay Reatard is far from being a retard. He’s quite brilliant actually, as far as Memphis garage-punk goes. The video bellow is for “See/Saw,” the first A-Side in the Matador Singles ’08 series, and, as incredible as it might sound, this is really Jay’s first ever music video. We trust Matador Records enough to take their word for it. Wild, frantic, energetic. Each and all of these at one place can describe both the…
