[Watch] – New Video By Martin Solveig – “Hello”
I let this one sit in my inbox for too long. On a recent cull I came across it and the lengthy description that accompanied it. After maybe a paragraph or two I just stopped reading and started watching.
I don’t want to spoil the video for you if you haven’t seen it yet, but not only is the video really really well done it’s also humourous and touching. The song on the other hand is just fucking awesome, I fell in love almost instantly. It’s taken from his upcoming album “Smash” which is out later this year, the song itself won’t be out until September, hitting the radiowaves in August. Unfortunately I don’t have an MP3 of it for you, and it’s rare for me to just post a video but this one deserves it.
[Watch] – Burnt Ones Live In Indianapolis
Last night (Saturday July 10th) saw Burnt Ones release their highly anticipated, sure-to-be critically acclaimed debut album “Black Teeth & Golden Tongues”.
They only released it in Indiana last night, with a national release coming on August 10th via Dodge’s new label Roaring Colonel Records. Below there’s an excellent video of them performing their 7″ single song “Gonna Listen To T-Rex (All Night long)” recorded by Monkey Eats Monkey live in Indianapolis at the end of June. The song almost sounds even better live, Mark’s voice disappearing in reverb and Amy pounding away on her two drums.
If you were lucky enough to go to their album launch gig last night, let me know how it was, even though it’ll make me insanely jealous.

[Watch] – New Video By Brandon Flowers – “Crossfire”
I’m always being held captive by Ninjas and having Charlize Theron rescue me.
What can I say, I’m a lucky guy (or unlucky depending on how you look at it). Apparently it happens to Brandon Flowers a lot too because in this candid clip for his new video you can see him being held hostage by a bunch o’ ninjas and Charlize (we’re on first name terms) bursts in and rescues him. Then it happens again, and again.
She’s like the Santa of ninja rescue operations.

[Watch] – New Video By The Futureheads – “I Can Do That”
Taken from their second release from their latest album “The Chaos”, Sunderland’s The Futureheads use some Roy Lichtenstein inspiration in their video for “I Can Do That”.
The animated video has the band fighting with each other in a pub, knocking bottles of Jack over each other’s heads, using superpowers like flying, x-ray vision, telepathy, and being a ninja, as well as turning into a red version of The Hulk.
Actually, it’s mostly singer Barry who’s doing all of that. Not sure why he turned into such a douche, though. At the end a Matrix-looking Nick Frost shows up all sorts of crazy shit starts happening…..you know what, just watch it.

[Listen/Download] – Frightened Rabbit Cover Lemonheads – “Confetti”
I read about this last week when it was making the blog rounds, but I didn’t actually watch the video until Peenko asked me if I was able to. You see, Peenko lives in Scotland and can’t view the video because of lame copyright/licensing laws. I on the other hand, even though I’m from Scotland, live in the U.S., so I could see the video.
So because he did me a solid, I did him a solid and ripped the audio from the video for him. He posted it yesterday, and today it’s my turn. It’s not exactly Frightened Rabbit because it’s just Scott the lead singer, but it’s close enough.
It’s taken from the below video that’s part of a series of videos by The Onion A.V. Club where they get a giant artist and make them play in a tiny room, “Being John Malkovich” style. Previous luminaries to take part include Ted Leo and his band of pharmaceutical punk rockers, Fruit Bats, Ben Folds, and The Antlers. Give your ear buds some earbud-food.
