01.11.12The Vickers Debut New Video For “Baby G” Plus Full Album StreamWe love this new video from Italy's The Vickers. The song is catchy, the video is clever and we bet you'll crack a smile. We get a LOT of music sent to us, most of which we don't find very interesting. We liked this immediately; and there's a few more coming this week. Maybe bands and labels are starting to get our musical aesthetic - which is pretty hard to pin down (proof HERE.) A full album stream of The Vickers' Fine For Now is available after the jump.

01.08.12Happy Birthday, David Bowie!David Bowie is THE ultimate icon. He didn't split from a famous band to to further his name, no one discovered him, the guy just landed here. Hurray for talented alien life! Happy Birthday, Starman. This video was finally unearthed in late December. It was recorded on a Wednesday, and aired on a Thursday in January 1973 and not seen again until now. Amazing stuff.

01.03.12Scissor Sisters Return With “Shady Love” – It’s Seriously CrayWhile we wait to see what Scissor Sisters have hiding up their hemline (their new album explodes in February,) here's a crazy video I can't make any sense of. That's not to say it's bad - this track is bangin' and completely different from their usual ABBA meets Elton John jams. This is quite a step up from your usual Elementary School talent show! Co-written by Harlem's It Girl, Azealia Banks and produced by Alex Ridha of Boyz Noise. Gurl, this track is kooky times.

11.07.11Mahogany – Nite Time In Silk CityWhile we wait for Mahogany's new Electric Prisms EP, here's a preview of a new song and a much more sparse lineup than we've seen in the past. Andrew Prinz has really bloomed as a front man, and his confidence is on display here. And that Jaclyn Slimm is kind of a knockout as well! We hope you enjoy "Nite Time In Silk City!" Maybe not the best quality, but it sure gives me some goosebumps!

10.04.11Erik Blood Scores “THE CENTER OF GRAVITY”Erik Blood - "Tantas Coisas" / "So Many Things" - Official Video from Brian O'Shea on Vimeo. Here's a lovely video from the upcoming Brazilian film The Center of Gravity featuring a score by Erik Blood. How does one get hooked up with scoring a film? From a friend of a friend who's got a brother who knows the director (or at least I think that's how it went!). In short, social networking. It's the result of putting yourself out there, and getting word of mouth. Steven Richter, the director of The Center of Gravity loved what he heard from Erik's ...

09.07.11New Light Asylum – End Of DaysThey're one of the bands we can't stop talking about, even with less than 20 minutes of music released. We're taken with Shannon and Bruno; it's really they're fault we are smitten. Another super fan, Kile (aka grossymmetric) seems a little obsessed, and lucky for us in a good way! Check out the Light Asylum sanctioned video for a live performance of "End of Days," a new song they've been playing out this year. It's a driving number with a relentless beat which is hopefully going to be a single that the band has hinted at releasing before their early ...

05.11.10Gimmie Gimmie Back My Glasses!I just heard this on a Lenscrafters commercial. I had to put on the record just to double triple check that it was actually the Hunx and his Punx version. The comments section on youtube for this are funny. Some heard it on the commercial and thought it was "gay"; yes they were being rude and offensive (and they are gay.) Others thought it was a sell-out. Well guess what? If you were in a band who toured for years and put out a bunch of 7"'s all while keeping your day jobs - you'd be chuffed, that's what! I think ...

01.20.10Serena-Maneesh Sign With 4ADSerena-Maneesh have joined the roster of perhaps the most influential independent label ever. The now 30+ year old 4AD has seen its share of ups and downs, and 2010 looks like a definite upswing. Besides the release of Serena-Maneesh's S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor on March 22nd, 4AD is solidly represented at this year's Coachella by Camera Obscura, The Big Pink and Deerhunter. 2010 will aslo see new releases from the intriguing Efterklang and the always entertaining Tindersticks, as well as another string of remasters. MP3 link and live video after the jump Continue Reading...

04.04.09Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart Music VideoI designed and directed this 8 minute video for Death Cab for Cutie's I Will Possess Your Heart about a year ago. Since then, it's gotten over 200,000 views on youtube. Unfortunately Warner Music decided to remove or mute the sound on all DCFC youtube videos, including official ones posted by the band. I thought fans might enjoy seeing the video with sound via this original version. Also check out my Death Cab For Cutie photosets on Flickr. Lots more pix of Ben & crew to drool over: The video was created using animoto.com The plugin takes about 10 seconds to load, so ...
