The Black Keys "Gold On The Ceiling"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 21:41:00 +0000

So I had this all prepared to post last night and even wrote something I think... but then it disappeared from the space time continuam. So even though everybody has already seen it I am posting it anyway because it's really weird and I like it.

BUCKWHEAT GROATS "Million Dollar Menu"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:04:00 +0000

I am not going to say this is good or anything, but I am ALSO not going to say it's bad. The only thing I DO know is that it's effing Friday y'all and I want some G-Dang LUNCH son!

Andrew Bird "Eyeoneye"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Thu, 31 May 2012 16:52:00 +0000

What nice video... very smart use of what I am assuming is computers. I read in Popular Mechanics that within the next 15 years they expect to be able to make an entire feature length film using only computers.

Bears of Manitou "Volcano"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 30 May 2012 22:40:00 +0000

I posted a sound only rendition of this song a couple of weeks ago, but if you are anything like me (obviously you are), you think videos are better than no videos. We are a visual species, it's just science.

Let me give you a little background here. The creator of this video, New Times wizard Melissa Fossum, posted this performance on the New Times music blog (Up On The Sun) yesterday, but it was an abbreviated version. THIS version has more of the thrills, spills and chills you LOVE and also some talking at the beginning, but non of the interview stuff in the middle. So if you like your talking in the middle of videos then head on over there.

Jay Z & Kanye West "No Church In The Wild"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 30 May 2012 18:29:00 +0000

Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday because I was on the run from the mob AND the police... but the evidence framing a congressman was successfully planted thus freeing me up for more important things like posting videos.

El-P "The Full Retard"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 30 May 2012 17:10:00 +0000

This is a very good video for a pretty good song from a really good album. I wouldn't exactly call it "safe for work" due to the "parts" that are not. But as long as you know that going in and take the proper precautions you should be ok... are you alone now? OK click HERE.

A Place To Bury Strangers "You Are The One"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:27:00 +0000

A Place To Bury Strangers are one of my favorite bands. I don't really have a follow up point to that statement aside from being pleased with the fact that they have a new video out with a new album about to come out. That is just good news for people that like A Place To Bury Strangers. Oh and this video is pretty crazy, for a video. That is two "bloody murder" videos in a row, if you are keeping score at home.

Ski Lodge "A Game"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 23 May 2012 20:56:00 +0000

I feel like Ski Lodge is the winter equivalent of Beach House. My new band is going to be called either Forest Cabin or maybe just Vacation Rental. Despite their name, it's a pretty good song n' video.

J. Viewz "Rivers and Homes"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 23 May 2012 16:14:00 +0000

This video might start of soul crushingly boring but right before the 1 min mark it get's much more exciting with the use of drums and special effects.

Hot Chip "Night And Day"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:54:00 +0000

Hot Chip have always had some pretty wonderful videos with a larger than not production value, but this new one looked like it cost a poop ton of cash, am I right? Reggie Watts DOES NOT come cheap... I bet.

Blouse "They Always Fly Away" Live Room 205

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:33:00 +0000

Despite the weird corporate sponsorship wrapped around this video, it's good. Not really the video itself but the song contained within. Way to go Blouse! I hope you got sweet custom Incase cases for your iPhones/iPads & Macbook Pros!* I sure wouldn't mind Incase sending me over some sweet cases as a "thank you" for mentioning them in this post. Nope... wouldn't mind at all.**

* I have those too, hint hint ;-)
**This one is pretty nice and this one and even this one!

Black Lips Notorious B.I.G. Hologram Behind The Scenes

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Fri, 18 May 2012 19:01:00 +0000

In our support of "No Music Friday"here is an almost funny video.

New Hands "Tulips"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:56:00 +0000

Tulips isn't going to sound like you think it's going to sound like. It IS going to sound EXACTLY like you think it's going to sound like... flowers.

It also smells like fresh baked break in here for some reason. A stroke I am having?

&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;a href="http://newhands.bandcamp.com/track/tulips"&amp;gt;Tulips by New Hands&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Death Grips "Hustle Bones"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:47:00 +0000

I bet this video is real good... I mean it looks real good but all of my speakers blew up all at the same time... Coincidence or conspiracy!?!?!?! I think it's the government trying to keep me from listening to Death Grips. They did a good job of it too.

Summer Camp "Life"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Wed, 16 May 2012 22:35:00 +0000

It's already G DANG HOT here and I want to go to summer camp in Canada or the temprate equivalent. I also wouldn't mind seeing Summer Camp whilst there either.

Mayer Hawthorne "Henny & Gingerale"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Mon, 14 May 2012 22:03:00 +0000

What a fun looking party. These people are having such a good time! Hardly a chair in sight and nobody even seems to care! I guess I should serve Henny & Gingerale at my next party... might keep it a little more lively than the drink I usually serve... Robitussin garnished with roofies, on the rocks with a chloroform chaser.

Bears Of Manitou "Volcano" (Damien Rice Cover)

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:28:00 +0000

It's almost stupid how good Bears of Manitou are. It's NOT stupid or anything but it almost is. There is a difference, look it up if you think you are soooo much smarter than me ok! Bears of Manitou are so smart they posted this song to twitter where I follow them, thus allowing me to post it to this highly influential music blog that I am the owner of. Win/Win/Win?

Prof "Myself"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:05:00 +0000

What do we all think about Prof? This is the first I am hearing of him but I think I may be inclined to like him but not totally sure yet? Please help me form my opinions for me in the comments. ALSO if you would like to see my photos of Drake last night click HERE. But only if you want to... no pressure.

Father John Misty "This Is Sally Hatchet"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:31:00 +0000

Fear Fun is the best album of the year I think... so far. It's only May but the bar has been set pretty high. And the videos are top notch too. I do miss the giant beard though. Oh well!

Grimes "Nightmusic"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:47:00 +0000

It's a good thing it's morning, gives you a lot of time to forget this video before you go back to sleep tonight. Not that it's "scary" per se', but I don't know about you but I don't need that guys butt haunting my dreams.

Dent May "Best Friend"

noreply@blogger.com (Shawn Anderson) — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:15:00 +0000

It's very important to know that this video was shot on location in Jackson Mississippi. Why that is important I have no idea. It must be very important because that is the first thing they tell us in the description. Maybe it's so very important to let us know where this video was made because this is the first clue to some sort of elaborate buzz marketing treasure hunt? I wonder what the treasure is? Maybe it's all the drugs Dent and co. took when making this video? Just kidding, all the drugs are gone already*! Get it?**

* They already took all the drugs already.
** Read the above explanation.
