Videos of the Week

Here are the latest videos that are sticking with me.



Noise terrorists Fuck Buttons have deeply matured on their new cd Tarot Sport, which was produced by Andrew Weatherall, famed producer of Primal Scream's Screamadelica. This is a live performance of the beautiful song "The Lisbon Maru."



The trailer for the new Almodovar movie Broken Embraces, starring the gorgeous Penelope Cruz. The movie looks very stylish and Hitchcockesque. Really looking forward to it.



Amazing band made up of only drums and bass. For such a small setup, they put out an amazing racket.



One of my favorite new songs off the latest release from Annie. Label woes have kept her out of the spotlight. I am hoping this album makes her more popular in the US. This song feels like a modern update of Georgio Moroder.



From the last Kraftwerk album, which was not one of their best, but for some reason it has always stuck with me. This is the video for the song "Musique Non Stop." I really think the music, which was not considered forward sounding at the time, has weathered well, and does not sound dated at all.



Remix of a new song from Florence + The Machine, a new "It" band from England. Oddly enough, The xx, who remixed the song, basically reinvented the song, making Florence + The Machine mere background. So technically, it is cover of the Florence song, which is itself a cover of a song from Candi Staton.



Melancholy song from Basement Jaxx featuring Lightspeed Champion on vocals. It has a beautiful melody and nice video full of animated polar bears.



Live performance of "Arming Eritrea" from Future of the Left. I have such a crush on the lead singer, who I have enjoyed since his days with McClusky.



And finally, here is an oldie from Siouxsie and the Banshees in honor of Halloween. It has a nice goth flair to it.
