09.08.10Telekinesis – Dirty ThingHere's an awesome new video for an awesome new track from Telekinesis off their upcoming EP Parallel Seismic Conspiracies - available digitally now from Merge. There's a great look and feel to this piece - with the projection layout, split screens and flickering shots - it's basically a collection of video techniques. Don't forget to check out Telekinesis live in Cleveland this Sunday, September 12th with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin in what promises to be one of the best live shows of the month! See you at the Grog Shop!

09.01.10Harper Simon – Berkeley GirlIf you think there's something about Harper Simon's voice that sounds all too familiar, it's not just you. Harper's vocals and folk stylings definitely follow closely in the footsteps of his father, Paul Simon. Also similar to his fathers style would be the new music video for "Berkeley Girl" - a piece shot on 8 mm seeping golden light in pure 1970's film fashion. Directed by Benjamin Kutsko from LA-based film collective/production company The Masses (Devendra Banhart, Passion Pit, Beach House, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros), the video stars actress/musician Jena Malone (Into the Wild, Pride & Prejudice, Donny Darko) ...

08.25.10Allison Weiss – Fingers CrossedIt seems to me that the newly NYC relocated Allison Weiss never sleeps. If she isn't planning tours or designing websites she's constantly promoting herself and wetting our whistles with new material - like this silly music video for Was Right All Along standout "Fingers Crossed". Clevelanders can check her out with Bess Rogers Sept. 27 at Wilberts.

08.18.10The Twilight Sad – The Wrong CarAh, there's nothing like a creepy doll video to make your Wednesday better, is there? Although slightly disturbing, the new video from The Twilight Sad set to "The Wrong Car" is cinematic and visually impressive. The dull color tones and dark shadowing are a great accompaniment to the track.

05.12.10Video Watch: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Album TeaserA good amount of record labels and artists have jumped on the "let's make a teaser video about our new album!" wagon - and I have to admit that I like it. Here's one for the new Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, out soon on Polyvinyl. Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from DCFC's Chris Walla!

05.05.10Video Watch: GAYNGS – CryThe newest record from GAYNGS, Relayted, includes a cover of Godley and Creme's "Cry" and the band decided to do something pretty creative for their visual representation of the track. The video above is the original version of the video from Godley and Creme and below is the GAYNGS version - pretty cool, huh? Lookout for Kevin Godley's appearance!

04.28.10Video Watch: P.S. Eliot – Hail MaryAnother great live show moment caught on tape by Dave over at If You Make It, this one is from P.S. Eliot playing "Hail Mary" off of Introverted Romance in our Troubled Minds which you want to buy here, but is unfortunately sold out for now. Had to post this one for the great song, pretty quality audio, and just because P.S. Eliot may be the best band name. Ever.

04.21.10Video Watch: Titus Adronicus and Vivian Girls – Sweater Song (cover)Cover songs make the world go 'round - or, at least make a good live show great. So is true of Titus Andronicus' recent stop in Philadelphia, where Vivian Girls' Cassie Ramone joined them on stage for a tribute to Weezer's "Undone". Patrick and Cassie's duet is great, I'm glad they included the spoken elements of the song as well. Rock.

A steady zoom in through the space-time continuum set to the tune of "Dear God". Beautifully shot, simple and complex, with some great themes at play.
