Videos of the Week

Only one new video this week. The rest I put on here for various reasons due to mood. I hope you enjoy.



Karin Dreijer Andersson is one half of Swedish electronic act The Knife. She has released a solo project under the moniker Fever Ray. This is the first video from the release called "If I Had A Heart." The song is ominous and foreboding and is matched perfectly with this eerie and creepy video.



I was never a huge Mazzy Star fan. I always thought their music teetered on the edge of insignificance. This was the only song of theirs that really touched me and it is probably one of my top ten songs of all time. Her voice is just perfect and the haunting guitar echoes the pain she is feeling.



Not the best song Boards of Canada have ever done, but man the video is striking.



One of my favorite bands from the 90s. This song is a great driving song. Wonderful chorus.



I posted this song on my Facebook page as a wonderful springtime song. Well, musically, yes it is. But after listening to the lyrics again, it is actually a pretty depressing song. Ooops. Oh well, just listen to the music.



Massive Attack are definitely in my top five bands of all time, and their cd Blue Lines is firmly ensconced in my all time favorite cds. This is an amazing song that just never seems to age.



Jane's Addiction are going on tour with NIN this spring and summer. I am not sure if they will be able to reproduce the intensity of their live performances from back in the day, I am sure interested in finding out. Here is a old recording of a live performance of the ferocious Three Days.



The rumor mill was churning last week about a proposed Stone Roses reunion. Of course it was a complete sham. Sigh. I saw them at the Midtown Music Festival in Atlanta on their first tour and actual first concert here in America. It was plagued by horrible sound and they walked off the stage about four songs into their set. The band broke up shortly thereafter. They never reached the heights of their first cd which is a complete classic. This is a wonderful song; very druggy and trippy.
