Tibi PuiuDon’t let the title track scare you away, it’s really a sweet video for a sweet song from a equally sweet Nellie McKay. Her stand up comedy days came up in handy when making the video for her ’50ish in house jazz extravaganza “Zombie.” The video features scenes with Nellie performing on a stage, teaching people the lost technique of the zombie dance, it’s really simple really: hands forward, positioned at the 90 degrees angle…
New Bruce Springsteen (feat. E Street Band) video: ‘Long Walk Home’
If yesterday dose of The Boss wasn’t enough, then sit back, relax and tune in to [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] and the E Street Band’s second video, from the forthcoming Magic. If in the first video we had the pleasure in seeing E Street side by side with The Boss, in the “Long Way Home” video we barely get a glimpse. Besides a few cameos in a ragged studio and vintage recordings in subways, it’s a all…
New QotSA video: ‘3’s & 7’s’
Death Proof meets [tag]Queens of the Stone Age[/tag] in “3’s & 7’s” or badass sex kittens flaunt their switchblades and wreak havoc in a dangerous desert town. Any video that combines sex, drugs, fast muscle cars, exaggerate amount of violence and gore is ace in my book. Oh and add that to the tremendous cascading riffs this track employs and you’ve got a must see video on your hands.
New Jens Lekman video: ‘Sipping On Sweet Nectar’
Although he would be more at place in the glamorous times of the late ’50s, the eternal romantic [tag]Jens Lekman[/tag] is remarkably catchy and makes extraordinarily beautiful music. His irresistible charm radiates throughout his latest video “Sipping On The Sweet Nectar”, it feels like the whole world revolves around him, under his strict observation from up above. Sparrow like flout whistles, glamorous piano lines and Jens retro vibe and vocals provide a wonderful trip down…
New Les Savy Fav video: ‘Patty Lee’
Old school indie rock band Les Savy Fav are back with a new record this week, in the form of Let’s Stay Friends, so a new video to go with it was a obvious choice. There not much to say about the video for “Patty Lee”, basically there’s a fashionably dressed teenaged girl dancing on the band’s music all alone, that is until she’s joined by the band at the very end. Ouch bearded groovy…
New Interpol video: ‘No I In Threesome’
This is my favorite song from [tag]Interpol[/tag]’s masterpiece “Our Love To Admire”, it’s deep emotions that it inflicts upon listening are extraordinary, so I’m pretty pleased they decided to make a video for this as well and a very good one too, if you think how shady The Heinrich Maneuver was or how boring the live video for Mammoth was. Although the title might suggest a more explicit and sexual video, this isn’t the case;…
New Serj Tankian video: ‘Empy Walls’
As this week is very important politically speaking, I couldn’t avoid posting video with a strong message, from one of the most politically active artists, [tag]Serj Tankian[/tag]. A month ago we premiered The Unthinking Majority, a video meant as a direct critique to the current US administration and war in Iraq, now “Empty Walls” follows the same path and interestingly tries to prove that we’re all just a bunch of kinder garden kids. Twin lego…
New Kanye West (feat. T Pain) video: ‘Good Life’
Although I’d like to stop talking about Kanye and Fiddy, I can’t really turn anywhere without bumping into one or the other. [tag]Kanye West[/tag] just recently unveiled his latest video, for his third single “Good Life”, featuring R & B star T Paine What’s this? Deja-vu? Hell yeah, remember Euro VMA’s 2006?Back then french duo [tag]Justice[tag] won the award off of Kanye, and he just lost it. Now he hired the director who made the…
New Battles video: ‘Tonto’
NYC math rockers Battles released a formidable debut full length album in the form of Mirrored, at the start of this year, a record full of experimental synths, calculated,robot like percussions and guitar chops and beats that would cause shame even to the best MC. It also featured vocals for the first time, as in their previous EPs Battles song were only instrumental, if you can call Tyondai Braxton’s munchkins-like vocals singing. “Tonto”, the second…
New Rogue Wave video: ‘Lake Michigan’
Having undergone a label transition from Sub Pop to Brushfire Records, Bay Area indie rockers Rogue Wave will soon release their third record Asleep at Heaven’s Gate. One of album’s stand out track is ‘Lake Michigan’ a song that’s video premiered earlier today on Spinner, featuring the band no where near Lake Michigan, as some of you might thought, but in a quite the opposite environement, just outside Los Angeles. Playing in middle of nowhere,…
