I’m fairly certain that Titus Andronicus’ new album, “Local Business“, will be the only record I listen to from now until the end of the year. From Pitchfork: Check out the clip, directed by Isaac Ravishankara, below, via Grantland. It features frontman Patrick Stickles singing along to the song while wandering meditatively past parks, trains, suburban [...]
Star Wars, blow, and? Dr. Dog. Who could ask for more? Be The Void is available now on iTunes and you should definitely pick the album up. It’s one of 2012′s best.
1. The Black Keys teamed up with RZA to record “The Baddest Man Alive” as the theme song to RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fist. The grindhouse-style video is above. Look, anytime you get RZA pimp-slapping Dan Auerbach with a fish across the face how can you go wrong? 2. RZA brought [...]
As the Cajun Boy at Uproxx points out, “this isn’t so much a music video as it is a tour retrospective by one of my favorite new bands set to one of their songs.” In some ways, these types of videos are more interesting because you get a sense for the band’s true personality. Also? It’s [...]
I’ve yet to get my hands on the new Menomena record, “Moms“, because it doesn’t come out until Oct. 18, but I’m digging the video for the track, “Plumage.” It features Danny Siem and Justin Harris meeting up in the desert and engaging in a costume change duel. Anyone that had any doubts about the [...]
Here’s the official music video for “Do It Anyway,” the first track from Ben Folds Five’s much anticipated album “The Sound of the Life of the Mind“. The video feature the Fraggles from Jim Henson’s “Fraggle Rock” and also stars Rob Corddry, Anna Kendrick, and Chris Hardwick. This definitely tops Weezer’s video that featured Muppets [...]
I suspect if Lord Huron’s “Time to Run” was released at the beginning of the summer, the song would have ended up as my summer jam. It’s an infectiously upbeat tune, the kind of song you put on repeat while driving to the beach, the kind of song your friends and family get sick of [...]
Dave Bry makes an astute observation: “Remember like six years ago, when My Morning Jacket stopped being My Morning Jacket and changed into something different and Band of Horses started being a better My Morning Jacket than My Morning Jacket themselves? Something like that seems to be happening now with The Hold Steady and Japandroids.” [...]
Last week, I implored you to stream the Gaslight Anthem’s new album “Handwritten” at NPR. Here’s the first video for the album’s title track. It’s fantastic. Just like the album, which you should totally buy.
“Four years ago I interviewed my grandfather at the age of 96 to talk about his life,” said Blitzen Trapper drummer Brian Koch of the inspiration behind the video. “I was struck by how, even though so much had become blurry, confused or completely fallen away from his memory, some things remained.” Just shy of [...]
