After watching the Matt Daniel’s directed video for Damien Jurado’s “Caskets”, I’ll watch anything he sends over to me. That video should have been on everyones ‘best of’ lists last year and it would have been on ours too, if we would have compiled one. Water under the bridge, as the saying goes.So to my delight, Matt’s new project is for Mt. St. Helen’s Vietnam Band. Quirky name

Jenny Lewis – See Fernando (Alan Tanner)
-
Artist:
We’re pretty sure Jenny Lewis is on your radar. Girls love her. Boys (insert depreciating pun) her. Critics, well, they largely ignore her. Not us! We listened to her latest album Acid Tongue and one of us liked it. Yeah it’s a darker trip from Rabbit Fur Coat but you know that saying about cute on the outside.Here we have a tidy throwback shot to those espionage films of the 60’s. It’s li

The Dead Weather – “Treat Me Like Your Mother” (Jonathan Glazer)
Well, Saturday came and went, and now we can all see The Dead Weather’s newest shot for “Treat Me Like Your Mother”. And when we say “shot” we ain’t joking. On the surface it may not be much, but we’d love to talk to Glazer and get some insight on where this idea stemmed from, what they wanted to convey with this video, why shoot in a field behind a housing track, where he drew inspi

The Faint – Mirror Error (???)

Artist:
-
Track:
The Faint videos always end up pissing our computers off. You gotta hand it to them for sticking with their style, especially when we doubt any of their videos are anyone’s favorites. The fellas are definitely getting a bit crazy with the visuals for the Fasciinatiion album, and “Mirror Error” is no exception. We have a feeling they’ve been doing these types of videos as of late, to compli

Last Day Dream (Chris Milk)
Image Courtesy Jorymon.comWe’re big fans of Chris Milk over here at SRO. We’re also pretty big fans of photography and how the development of the technology is further getting pushed and explored. So don’t be surprised that we’re posting this short by Chris Milk for the 42 Second Dream Film Festival. What’s a “42 Second Dream Film Festival” you ask? We’ll let them describe it to yo

Metric – Gimme Sympathy (Frank Borin)
It’s no secret that we’re fans of Emily Haines in whatever incarnation she takes upon herself, be it Broken Social Scene, Soft Skeleton, or Metric. With Metric’s latest, Fantasies, Haines & company keep the streak alive with another round of solid joints that you can dance to, make-out to, or drift away to. That’s the inner beauty, among many, to Metric’s music. While Haines is specific

Animal Collective – My Girls (Chad Von Nau & Jon Vermilyea)
If you’ve yet to listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion by now, it’s a wonder you’re even at this site. You’re probably here by mistake, and maybe you should leave. Animal Collective’s latest is arguably the year’s top album thus far and things don’t look to be changing. Known for their abrasive visual imagery from past videos like “Peacebone” and “Who Could Win A Rabbit“, it w

Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move (Matthew Lessner)
Believe it or not, you are about to watch a rap video. I know it's the Dirty Projectors. I know the song is "Stillness Is The Move". I know they play a kind of alt indie rock. But I'm telling you kids, shit is a rap/hip-hop video. It's still a damn good video whether you believe me or not.For the sake of your time and mine, I'm gonna run through this shit, so keep up.

Track:Death of Autotune
I like this video because Kanye West was part of the song’s producing duo and that’s funny.I like this video because Harvey Keitel is in it.I like this video because Jay-Z plays one-on-one with King James and shows off his lefty jumper.I like this video because things get blown up.I like this video because it’s good.This video has style and reminds me why I cry when I have to take most other

KATE MICUCCI - Walking In Los Angeles (Raul B. Fernandez)
Surprised to see a video posted on our site? Me too! However Raul B. Fernandez carries around an Awesome Stick and threatened to use it on me. At first I thought, that would be cool, but it only makes him more awesome. I was going to say a few words about how thoughtful and smart this next video is, but he shut me up and told me to just put this: The concept for the video was first inspired by ...

It’s April And Here’s Some New Music
Hey there readers. I hope you noticed SRO’s new facelift. We figured it was time for a new coat of paint, plus we were tired of our website breaking all the time. I promise we are working on becoming a real website again so stay tuned. For now, we still have wooden legs and drop monthly mixes and music videos every now and again.

Track:LA Nocturn
Who knew that I would be the one to break the SRO silence war, but I lost and won at the same time. You have to break the silence when one of your boys sends you a video that needs to be seen. Maybe you remember Eli Stonberg from a great many Video Round Up’s, but today he’s bringing his game to his very own post with one of our favorite people Daedelus. I could go on and on but Eli said he w

Sloan - Witch’s Wand (Scott Cudmore & Michael LeBlanc)
-
Artist:
This starts out as a cinematic, well dressed, serious romp through the snow. We aren’t quite sure where it’s going, but the pretty faces and intriguing setting keep us watching. What also adds interest, is that this is all backdrop for the power-pop stylings of Sloan, which should give us a hint at what’s to come. I won’t ruin it for you, you’ll have to watch it for yourself, but the ser
