A few months ago an announcement at [tag]Bjork[/tag]’s website opened a ‘YouTube like’ video contest for the Islandic diva’s track “Innocence” of the recent “Volta” LP. Innocence is to be made as video. An idea is born. The idea is to make the video. The video to Innocence, a song of yet to be released Volta record. Who is to make the video? Another idea is born: It is to be you, my dear! Anyone…
Aussie singer Sia Furler ( you probably all know her as Sia) is back with her first video, in a really long time, from her upcoming third LP “Some People Have Real Problems”. The song itself is kinda bad, but the video is loads of fun (brilliant i might add), in the style director Kris Moyes has accustomed me to. Sia moves from different face expressions and figures, mostly mutilating herself with things like clothespins,…
[tag]White Stripes[/tag] are ready to team up once again with the Malloy Brothers, after the Icky Thump video, on their latest video for “You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You’re Told)”. Their time touring Canada was put to good use, as they managed to film the video between gigs there. The video is very relaxing, highlights include Jack playing guitar in front a of beautiful white house, Meg and Jack strolling…
Daniel Snaith is back with a new video of his upcoming ‘Andorra” LP, some old fans may know him as “Manitoba”, while listeners who just got into Daniel’s music will surely recognize him by his most recent adopted stage name [tag]Caribou[/tag]. Talking about the new album Daniel said: “I find it more exciting to look inside somebody’s imagination,” Dan offered. “That’s how I see this album, as being a window, and those kind of fictional…
Remember the [tag]Dude ‘N Nem[/tag] 1000$ YouTube contest? Well it officially ended; contestants had to film them selfs, while dancing on the “Watch My Feet” beat, and then upload it on YouTube, where it would be reviewed and ultimately, if good enough, included in the official Dude ‘N Nem video. I have to say that the dancing is mind blowing, the moves are purely unbelievable, I’m watching it as i speak and can’t get enough…
If you haven’t had your laughter pill in the morning, your in for a treat. Indie rocker Will Oldham aka Bonnie “Prince” Billieand and comedian Zack Galifianakis star in a alternate video for [tag]Kanye West[/tag]’s single “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as a bunch of farmers. Zack seemingly means every rhyme he spits and adopts a serious look, that I’m sorry, or glad, to say cracks the hell out of me! Amongst other activities one would…
Aussie 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…
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…
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…
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…
