In a bold yet expected move, MTV has is finally trying to reclaim the title of the place to go for your music video fix. Although armageddon hasn't arrived just yet because this music video revolution is not on the TV in HD, but rather on the net. No longer will we have to suffer [...]
We're operating under the assumption that most, if not all, of you out there are secret fans of Matt & Kim. That, or you've yet to hear about the second-most popular happy couple, (see their Flickr for proof) making music with only a keyboard and drums. Of course it isn't cool to like happy things [...]
Looks like Rivers and his band of merry men have realized that they've hit rock bottom. Looks like it's time to get an old friend back to help their cause. Guess who? [Slashfilm]
Last time we checked in with Val and Matt, we were being thrown into cute overload yet enjoying the hell out it. Lot's of endearing stuffed animals playing music to sweep those blues away. This time around, we are backtracking a bit, and instead of conquering the heartache that stems from the end of a [...]
Lykke Li really needs some new press photos. I've posted on her a dozen times and I think I'm running out of photos. I would love to do a shoot with her, I think she would be a perfect subject and make amazing photos. So energetic, great eyes, fashion and looks. Lykke, hit me up, [...]
We warned you about Passion Pit back in July. Now it’s October and they’ve released a video for the track Sleephead directed by the Wilderness. The video is a lesson in anti-CG, resorting to the early mechanics and fundamental definition of movies: the moving picture. A rudimentary magic lantern or zoetrope is the bases for [...]
This music video is made up of bits and pieces from the film In A Dream which Herzliya Films is also responsible for. It could almost be seen as trailer of sorts, although the explanatory dialogue is now replaced by the rhythmic and beautiful sounds of the Danish band Efterklang. Efterklang - "Cutting Ice [...]
Rivers has lost his GODDAMN MIND. I'm really not sure what else to say about this. Obviously Rivers thinks that troublemakers dress like mexicans in wife-beaters with hair nets, neck tattoos and Dickies, or white boys in their bro-gear. The giant nacho/Weezer logo is a step in the wrong direction and throwing in shots of [...]
I guess not too many people cared about our two year Mix anniversary last month because I didn't receive a comment or a message to the effect. Sad times. You're lucky my skin is thick and the participation of our reader/listeners isn't what fuels my motivation. Get the October Mix now. (This is the tricked out feed [...]
You should probably go see RocknRolla when it comes out worldwide on October 10th. A couple months back we were nice and gave you the heads up on it. We're here to tell you that we were right to clue you kids in.
In case you haven’t checked out the latest issue of Wired, they snuck in a little article (also available online) about music videos coming back into relevance thanks to the internet and the work of some talented directors. The article was penned by Jake Swearingen who picked the brains of directors like Keith Schofield and [...]
I really miss BSS. It’s been years since I crushed hard on You Forgot It In People and I’m still not over it. I hope I never do. I also probably miss them because it’s been 3 years since they’ve put out a proper release, instead busying themselves with supporting the continual off-shooting side projects [...]
I was introduced to Low Vs. Diamond as the band Colored Shadows on a 2 song CD single that was handed to me outside the Troubadour in West LA sometime in 2006. My cohort James later told me it was the best free CD he had ever gotten…and he was quite right. ‘Life After Love’ [...]
I've always liked Max Tundra. His album Mastered By Guy At The Exchange snuck in under the hype-radar back in 2002 (not really sure that hype had a radar back then). His brand of quirky synth pop reminded me of a more wordy and less structured BS2000. His sound is definitely polarizing and while I [...]
Don't know if you grew up at the same time I did, but when I was a kid, these videos played ALL THE TIME on MTV. I remember staying at my grandparents house the summer of 94′ when the 'Black Hole Sun' video came out, and since being at your grandparents means all you do [...]
An amazing thing happened the other day, I actually laughed at something Pitchfork wrote. This one also has dancing cops and TVOTR members' heads morphing into woodland critters', but I think we'll know a real "Golden Age" when science give us a version of this video with better audio quality. It's a very subtle dig on [...]
Hey remember The Sea and Cake? Yeah we do too and are happy that they are still making music. They had an album out last year called Everybody and are looking to make more of a comeback with Car Alarm due later this month. 'Weekend' is the new single off that album and Tim Sutton [...]
Writers note: In the future please include the director’s names with the video. Just trying to give credit where credit is due.4th Place: Fuck Dress - Suburban Nietzsche Freak (Dir: ???)I tried to write something about the video but this guy Adam is a word-magician “It has dancing priests and Radiohead in it….” Done!3rd Place: [...]
--- - |- The new Contantines album Kensington Heights landed a few months back without even a splash in the blog collective's bucket of hype. It's probably because it's their third album and that makes them past their prime according to today's internet standards. Personally I've enjoyed each of their releases over the years and while this current [...]- The Constantines
