Yeasayer: Ambling Alp

more about "Yeasayer “Ambling Alp” on Vimeo", posted with vodpod

A few days ago, I posted the awesome video for Yeasayer’s “Wait For The Summer.” Well, it’s officially been trumped. This video has been blowing up over the holidays, and with good reason. It’s made by Spy Films, the same bros who created the interactive Black Moth Super Rainbow video for “Dark Bubbles.” This album is gonna be massive when it comes out and this video is definitely one of the best of 2009. Time to update yours lists. And for more beautifully cinematic music videos, check out my post on The Present Is Now.



Major Lazer: Keep It Going Louder (Eric Wareheim Version)

This is my favorite song off of Major Lazer’s LP, and although the original video is very cool, I think we were all secretly hoping for another Wareheim video. Well, here it is after all!

Eleven and the Falcons: All The Clocks Around The Town Had Died

We know. It’s been awhile since KillerPOP Records has released any new jams, but would you rather we pump something out every week, or meditate on it a bit so we can put out something substantial every once and awhile? Hopefully, you picked the latter, cus that’s just what we did. Eleven and the Falcons have just dropped their sophomore release on KPR titled All The Clocks Around The Town Had Died. It’s a four-song EP of all cover songs and they run the gamut from smoky and somber to epic a capellas. That’s the album art up top and you can click right here to download the damn thang absolutely FREE! Track list and original versions after the jump.

Yeasayer: Wait For The Summer

I dare you not to love this video by Mixtape Club for Yeasayers’s 2007 song “Wait For The Summer.” I know, it’s from last year. But whatevs.com. It’s so 2009.

They’re the same dudes who did the video for “Me-I” by TV On The Radio. You know, that awesome ,weird, Johnston-esque song of their’s. No? Click the link then you dork.

N.A.S.A. feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith: Spacious Thoughts

This song has been out for awhile on N.A.S.A.’s MySpace, so my surprise and excitement about everything going on in the title of this post has waned a bit, but if you haven’t heard it before, this video is a great medium to experience it. Check out Boing Boing’s article on the video including interviews with the performers.

Shopping Cart: Julian Casablancas

julian2

It has recently come to my attention that the (standard version of) Julian Casablancas’ debut solo album, Phrazes for the Young, is $4.99 on iTunes this week. If that price isn’t enough to convince you, let me just say that this is the best record to come out of the Strokes family since Room on Fire. For the rich folks among us, you might spring for the $9.99 deluxe version, which features 3 more tracks.

Yo Majesty: Freaks Come Out

Getting excited for Halloween? Well, you can take a break from working on your zombie Rush Limbaugh costume and watch a video from friends of KillerPOP, Yo Majesty. They made a special song and video just in time for the least stupid holiday of the year! As a bonus, the song is really good.
