Videos of the Week

Once again we converge on a Friday, which means it is time for my weekly roundup of videos that altered the alignment of the planets for me:



The always reliable Scottish band Mogwai keeps releasing phenomenal albums of post-punk instrumentals. While you are never going to get a shocking change in their sound, you will always find something to like. I am really liking the new album, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will.



First official video from the new Hercules and Love Affair album which is taking its sweet time being released. I love this song and the video is hysterical, especially if you, like me, grew up in the 80s and watched all those horrible dance shows like American Bandstand, Dance Fever, and Soul Train.

Discodeine feat. Jarvis Cocker - Synchronize from Here Comes The Flood on Vimeo.


Sleazy and dark video from the DFA label band Discodeine. Jarvis Cocker lends his vocals and world weary stature to the proceedings.



I am still shocked that this kid is only 16. What an amazing voice and a really great songwriter. I am expecting big things from this guy.



Interesting cover of the Beyonce song from Sweden's ceo.



Stuttering and clipped song from one of my favorite albums last year. The video is a chopped up sample of their tour from last year.



Fun video for the synthpop act. Love the costumes.
