Because it's a Submarine kind of day and we don't get much Arctic Monkeys music up on this site -- here's Alex Turner with Piledriver Waltz. I suggest renting the film too, it's definitely a pick-me-upper on a cloudy summer day.
At last something new! Well, new-ish. Although the video might be a year old, it's been more than six months since my last post. I thought I'd throw in something by the Shout Out Louds to hark my return, especially since the first lines in this song rings true to what...
If you were a kid growing up in Britain, you would probably remember a little old animated film called "The Snowman" -- a touching holiday story that's basically an existentialist version of 'Frosty the Snowman'. The Maccabees grew up with it and loved it so much that...
Here is a lovely video from the fine young gentlemen of earcandynewyork.com, taking the art of autotune to its finest, to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. If you haven't checked their site out yet, take a moment to download a couple of their podcasts here which...
As anyone who grew up in the eighties can attest - Christmas was better in the 80's. In fact, everything was better in the eighties - especially if you were kid. Back then, your day was complete just getting the latest Game and Watch and finding that Ziggy pencil top...
Warning - The video above contains graphic scenes of book mutilation. Otherwise, it's cute overload for all you craftsters out there. Although I would never, ever slaughter book like that -- The Woodlands' In The Dark On Monday would be a damn good song to hack a book...
Nothing fills me with much joy than to see Sufjan don wings again in a live performance. He performed live last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon playing "Too Much", a single off his latest electronica themed release, The Age of Adz. With full-on costume and...
In case you missed it, which I almost did - everybody's favorite piano-pop musician Ben Folds has released an album in collaboration with my personal favorite music-loving author, Nick Hornby. If that name sounds familiar, he's the guy that wrote the book High...
Our Video of the Week comes all the way from Belgium with a devilishly evil track from Ghinzu called 'Cold Love'. I don't why Russian Orthodox priests are mixing a recording while one of them's exorcising the band, and what those gyrating girls behind them all have...
OK Go creates videos that I have the compulsion to share - so here it is. Fresh off of debuting it this morning on Ellen - this is their latest called White Knuckles. It's full of all things lovable, a great song, cute furry animals and IKEA products (I got two of...
Nothing says 'ultimate music video masterpiece' than an opening where a cute redhead is being dragged by the foot by a mysterious packaging peanut monster. Combined with a laidback, lazy day song by psychedelic band Seasons, it certainly ups the quirk level to...
I know, I know, this went viral a few weeks ago - still, it's a video that begs to be posted. What's great about this video, is not that it's particularly hilarious (especially to people who aren't new to Autotune the News) but that it's incredibly catchy. After I got...
Dani from Everyone's Talking sent this in, with the promise of posting my blog to their 50,000 followers. I thought, sure, and started contemplating on why, for the life me, have I not gotten 50,000 followers in the past three years that this blog has been alive. Then...
< p class="has-dropcap">This is the latest from the series of videos from Jarrod Gorbel (The Honorary Title) to promote his newest album called Devil's Made a New Friend. Here, Jarrod and pals - indie fashion designer Rachel Antonoff and Steel Train frontman Jack...
We're still in DIY mode right now, as today's Video of the Week features a behind the scenes look at the making of experimental electropop collective, Breton's Sharing Notes EP. The album has gotten it's digital release this week, but the neat thing about getting the...
I know, I won't even apologize for any lapses in the regularity of my blog posts since it's become a common thing - then again, I always come back do I? And it's always with good stuff. This week we start (again!) with the Video of the Week. This one comes from...
This video goes a year back in 2009 for Oren Lavie's single 'Her Morning Elegance'. Since everything's going stop motion nowadays, I thought I'd show it to you guys if you happened to miss it from last year. It's not as elaborate as Coldplay's 'Strawberry Swing'...
Our video of the week comes from Grovesnor, who's also known as Hot Chip drummer Rob Smoughton. As Grovesnor, he describes himself as a troubadour who looks like a teacher but sings like Usher. Dan, plays out like a nice rom-com from a few years back that you missed...
Just to let you guys know that I am still here, here's a neato video that went viral a few months back. A video for all you art geeks out there - if you don't know if you're an art geek or not, if you can name more than half of these parodied famous artworks along...
I love videos that combine childhood imagination with young love. There's just something so beautifully vulnerable about it. It also helps that Letting Up Despite Great Faults creates such magical songs that make you fall instantly in love. Letting Up Despite Great...
Just because I'm a big fan of The Office and I love Slow Club - here's Gareth, looking far-removed from his dorky self in Slow Club's Giving Up On Love video.
Just because I'm craving for some Kick-Ass - Chloe Moretz, Clark Duke and McLovin in The Soft Pack's new video of Answer to Yourself is our Video of the Week.
You've probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Merton, the funny piano improv guy on Chatroulette. I wanted to put his first video up as Video of the Week the minute I saw it because : one, it's hilarious and two, it's music, and funny music to...
In honor of the release of the new Scott Pilgrim movie trailer, our video of the week is of the song that started it all. It's 1997 all over again with Halifax all-girl band Plumtree and their single Scott Pilgrim. To those who don't know it yet, the popular graphic...
I've always loved La Blogotheque's Take-Away shows. There's always something grand about impromptu live music in places where you don't usually expect to have live music. Of course, when I heard that they got The Rest performing one of my favorite songs, I just had to...
If there's one thing that I like about covers is that when it totally reinvents the original. Like when Steven Tyler reinvented himself to become Janice Dickinson...oh, wait, they're not the same person?Nevertheless, if you loved Pomplamoose's cover of I Don't Want to...
The Video of the Week comes from a duo that originates from the island of Malta & the city of Berlin. It's a music video for a song that's enhanced by strategically placing lyrics over the naked bodies of women in the classic porn film 'Six Swedish Girls in a...
Nothing cheers me up more than people doing the crazy dance while someone sings 'I want to live in an asylum' . Our Video of the Week comes from Belfast trio Not Squares whose lovely single 'Asylum' makes me want to scream 'more cowbell please!'.**Update: Looks like...
As a post-Valentine treat, our video of the week is about a mighty love - a love that's strictly from the bottom and simply from the head...whatever that means. This one is from Indonesian band Zeke and the Popo with 'Mighty Love' - a neat and nicely done video which...
When not busy making media appearances or playing Trock with his band Chameleon Circuit (that's Time Lord rock for you guys), Charlie McDonnell (a.k.a. charlieissocoollike) makes silly videos and silly songs on YouTube. I've seen a lot of ingenious viral videos from...
