The Sad Song from Fredo Viola on Vimeo.
This is a lovely, classic video that perfectly fits the song composition. My understanding is that he made it himself using a crappy cell phone camera. What he achieves here is remarkable.
Fredo Viola – The Sad Song
Metric is one of my favorites. Like top five. Check this video for ‘The List’ from their last album. Also check their site.
UPDATE 7/1: I was just swinging through, updating links on a Saturday night (like you do), and noticed that they’ve posted a/the video for Poster of a Girl! It’s taking forever to download so you will have to be your own critic.
Ok Go is getting a great response to their kickass backyard dancing video mentioned below (and pictured above). Watch it. Watch it NOW!
Incidentally, the editors are just about as excited as they can get about the forthcoming album by Ok Go. The forthcoming album which comes out in four short days.
Ok Go – A Million Ways
Remainders Friday: a nail-biting retrospective through my movies folder. Anyhow: few videos rock like The Faint’s Ionesco-esque ‘Agenda Suicide‘ (pictured above).
While we’re on the retro tip: here’s one from way back in 2002: Hare-Brained Scheme by Freezepop.
Note: I can’t emphasize the right-clicking enough. Right-click pretty much anything on the web, ‘save target as…’ and you, like, got it, or whatever.
Great new song & ‘backyard dancing’ video on their website.
Notably, this is the first music video Ok Go (or any other Capitol Records band I’ve seen) has released encoded with QuickTime.
Why’s that important? Well, it means you can make an mp3 out of it.
Update 8/10/2005 You snooze, you lose. You don’t read this blog on time, well, you sort of lose. Or maybe not. ANYWAY: their homepage is different now.
Update 8/17/2005 The QuickTime is back, and IN EVEN HIGHER RESOLUTION. Take advantage and add this track to your library. Now. That’s a direct order.
Watch the new video by Palomar for their upcoming album. It provides an important illustrated history of the band. Also be sure to listen to
Knockout from their last album. Sadly, it cuts off. But then there you are. I’m not saying anything.
Here’s a cool Fischerspooner video from back in the day.
That appears to be the French Kicks in the background above providing air guitar support.
Fischerspooner – The 15th
This may be old news, but the Dresden Dolls rock!
i am not so serious
this passion is a plagiarism
i might join your century
but only on a rare occasion
i was taken out before the
labor pains set in, and now
behold the world’s worst accident
i’m the girl anachronism!
<Listen to the song and/or watch the video.
