Modest Mouse video competition
Apparently there’s a Modest Mouse video competition for their song “Missed the Boat”.
The song is really good, but this entry is particularly amazing (from wooster collective as all good things are). I love this newish wave of stop motion video (new to me at least). I loves me some low tech that’s at the same [...]
Detroit Cobras!
So we went to check out the Detroit Cobras last night at Southpaw. Here’s the short review. They are way more awesome live than they are recorded - and I really like their records. It’s been the best show I’ve seen in a long time (granted I haven’t been going to many shows, but the [...]

The Highline Festival
So, we went to the Highline Festival last night. There were three bands. Kate Havnevik was eh, kinda Bjorky but lacking any edge or insanity. TV on the Radio was really good except for the overpowering falsetto singing that came in periodically and the fact that the lead singer is made of cartilege (ok that [...]
I like the seksu
So I just realized that there are music videos on YouTube! Ok, I didn’t just discover, but I randomly thought to see if there was a video of a band I kinda like and lo, there was. I like Asobi Seksu, but it’s a little hit or miss for me - I really like probably [...]
For Your Height Only
The madmen at youvert just brought this li’l gem of a video to my attention. A video remix with rap homage to Weng Weng , “Only 2 foot, 9 inches (83 cm) tall, he is listed in the Guinness World Records as the shortest adult actor in a leading role.” They got a world record [...]
Scroobius Pip?
Sounds dirty if you ask me. Came across this one on it’s trip across the intertubes. Dan Le Sac puts down some beats that might be a just a tad on the dance side for me. And the lyrics might be just on the novelty side for me. But, still, it’s catchy and clever. The [...]
The Whitest Boy Alive
Check out this video, hand drawn by Geoff McFetridge. I know him only by the tee shirts I’ve seen but I really like his work and this video is pretty really awesome. I’m not sure exactly what it is about his art that I love, but it’s really great. The song is “The Whitest Boy [...]
Sellaband
So I came across Sellaband a bit ago (on techcrunch). You’ll have to pardon their crazy thank you video when you click that link, just click the “continue to sellaband” link under the video, it’s the only way to stop it.
The site seems like an interesting idea, though. Basically, unsigned musicians sign up with Sellaband [...]

Breakfast Links: Dr. Who Theme, Skywalk and Chris Ware
Check out this documentary on the creation of the Dr. Who Theme song from the early 80’s. This is really cool, that guy shows you how he busts out that signature “ooooo-EEEEE-oooooo” (you see how I disagree with the Wired writer’s transcription? He started with a woooo, but it sounds more like oooo to me, [...]
