Music Video

They Black Keys just released their video for “Gold On The Ceiling.” Not quite as many laughs as previous videos, but it’ll do the trick.

First Aid Kit have their sophomore album, The Lion’s Roar, coming out on January 24th. I listened to the album all weekend and can attest to its incredibleness. Not a real word, but whatever. “Emmylou” is the second video released and watch your toes. It’s a namedropper.

I’ll have a full review of the record out to you as soon as it’s done simmering.

It’s safe to say that Lisa Hannigan’s video for “Safe Travels (Don’t Die) is one of the best videos I’ve seen released this year. It was directed by Cliona O’Flaherty and Chris Judge and painstaking attention was paid to every detail in the aesthetic of this video – the landscapes, wallpaper, props, wardrobe, extreme head size. It’s really awesome. And so is the song.

Rock n’ Roll meets Jack Ass on Deer Tick’s video for “Main Street.” One fart and the band would have gone up in smoke.

Woody recently caught them in Chicago and had this to say:

This video is almost as crazy as their live show. The Chicago show saw beers and cocktails flying, a possible McCauley dong-sighting (we were standing in back but someone said he was playing his guitar with his dong), guys on other guys shoulders, a faux makeout session between McCauley and Ian O’Neill and an encore that had more people on stage than the end of The Last Waltz. They also found time to mix in covers from John Prine, Nirvana, The Mats and a rocking cover of “Leroy Brown.” It was either one of the more surreal shows I have seen or I am getting old.

Buy Deer Tick’s latest, Divine Providence, today on Amazon for $3.99.

James Vincent McMorrow – We Don’t Eat [Music Video]

October 17, 2011

James Vincent McMorrow made a splash with his debut album, Early In The Morning, released in March of last year. Dublin’s answer to Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) just released a video for “We Don’t Eat” which reminded me how great that album is, especially considering it was written and self-produced in an isolated house by [...]
