Videos Of The Week

There wasn't any new music or new videos that came out this week that have caught my attention, so I decided to revisit some older videos/songs that were rumbling around in my memory:



One of my all-time favorite Interpol songs. They never released it as a single, but it was always the moody opening song on their last tour. It has a simple, haunting opening, and builds to a very emotional climax. It sends shivers down my spine whenever Paul Banks sings "I felt you so much today." This video is from a performance at the London Astoria.



Gorgeous song from Dead Can Dance. Lisa Gerrard's voice is otherworldly. If I was able to choose a song to accompany me to the next life, this song would be it.



Amazing song about a relationship disintegrating from jealousy and infidelity. She hauntingly sings "I love you less, now that I know you." The video is pure simplicity. A stark, black backdrop with various people's faces illuminated. Each person slowly starts crying. It is impossible to watch this video without feeling deep emotions.



Curve are absolutely one of my favorite shoegazer bands. They ferociously attacked their guitars and turned the drum machines up to pummel. Led by Toni Halliday, one of the most gorgeous women in music, they were a phenomenal live act. Pure sex and aggression.



Amazing DJ collective from Australia. Their one release, Since I Left You, is practically perfect in every way possible. This song is a combination of about 100 different samples, each one distinct but creating a marvelous whole. The video is brilliant and completely hysterical.
