Modest Mouse "King Rat"


In anticipation of No One's First and You're Next EP (out yesterday), I've been re-listening to Good News For People Who Love Bad News obsessively, and so I was surprised to see this on my RSS feed:



According to Stereogum, Heath Ledger directed this music video before he died. Which explains why it's freakin' amazing! Proceeds from the video got to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

new Blitzen Trapper EP!

I'm not quite sure what to make of this track from Blitzen Trapper's upcoming EP, to be released on August 25th. And the music video? It has its odd moments, though these are nothing compared to the music video released for Jose Gonzales' "Killing for Love" last year (so creepy!). I'm glad Blitzen Trapper is making new music, but I'm not sure I'll be chilling out with the EP on my drive to Ohio like I did with Wild Mountain Nation. Furr, though, will probably make the cut.

Jenny Lewis is a Bond girl! (but better)

...sort of. Watch and all will be illuminated. Also, does anyone know if that's Laura Burhenn (formerly Georgie James) or Blake Hazard (The Submarines) in the video?

White Rabbits "Percussion Gun"

I'm kind of in love with White Rabbits' new album, It's Frightening (released in May), so I thought I'd share the music video for their first single for the album, "Percussion Gun."

new Regina Spektor!

I've been getting pretty excited about Regina Spektor's upcoming album Far lately. Culture Bully posted the music video for "Laughing With," earlier today. (Update: apparently the reason why the video hasn't made it onto YouTube yet is that her label wants you to buy the video on iTunes, which is just silly.)

Here's a live performance of "Blue Lips."


Far will be released on June 23. So far only two tour dates have been announced, so I'll be on the lookout for more.

Kind of neat, right?

Like Joe, I'm in the middle of finals, which is why the posts have recently been few and far between.
I was outside earlier today, and it was snowing so you could barely see past a block, and the wind was blowing hard. I have a paper to write, an exam to take, and a portfolio to perfect.

Remember the excellent video for "Let's Dance to Joy Division"? Well, I like this new one too...especially how Matthew Murphy talks to his hampster.
