Icelandic Awesomeness

I think I talk about this too much. Spinner lets loose a new video clip from Sigur Rós' upcoming film, Heima. In this clip, the band is performing the song, "Gitardjamm."

Paste Wishes it was as Cool as Radiohead

Well Radiohead started this wildness with their name your own price for their album back at the beginning of the month, and now Paste Magazine wants some of the action. Name your own price for a one year subscription to the music/film/scenester party magazine. So, if you want it, just go to their website, and find one of the many links to subscribe.

Another Installment of Cheerleader! Rock

One of my favorite bands has a new video for their song, "The Wrath of Marice." The Go! Team is an awesome band that makes me feel oh so happy, and occasionally accompanies me while running. I say occasionally because I don't do a lot of running.

Just another day at the office...

Apostle of Hustle's new video for the song, "Cheap Like Sebastian" is here and it is ready for the watching. The song comes from their National Anthem of Nowhere album. It features front man Andrew Whiteman walking through a peculiar office. You might recognize him as part of the band, Broken Social Scene. I rather enjoy the scene of the priest in the strobe light.

Another Video?!

Yes, another new video, and this one brings back memories of my wonderful childhood. As I watch Bloc Party's new video for their song, "Flux," I think back to the days of pajamas, cereal, and the Power Rangers on saturday mornings. Here you go.

The Wonderful Sisters

Tegan and Sarah have a new video for the song, "The Con." It shows one of the two solving her problems like we all do, singing it for our psychiatrists. So please enjoy.
