Videos of the Week

Here are some videos that caught my attention this week:


The Fly - Twilight Sad `Made To Disappear` FlyTV In The Courtyard on MUZU.

Acoustic live performance from two members of Scottish band Twilight Sad. This is a new song from their upcoming cd. Where their usual electric performances are full of squalling guitars, this shows how beautiful their music really is. The singer's Scottish brogue is particularly touching.



Grizzly Bear is my favorite band of the moment as attested to by my 10 out of 10 review of their latest cd Veckatimest. Here is a live performance of their single "Two Weeks." It is such a gorgeous song.



Bat for Lashes new video for "Pearl's Dream." Great song but a rather strange video.



Live performance from Robyn on Letterman for the song "Cobrastyle." Interesting, dadaesque performance. Love the bear heads. What is my obsession with bears these days?



David Byrne and Brian Eno released a very low-key cd last year that turned out to be one of the most captivating cd's I heard all year. "Strange Overtones" was in my top ten singles of the year. It is a veru infectious song with a killer melody and chorus. This is a live performance from David Byrne.



Another Grizzly Bear live performance. This is for my favorite song of theirs "Fine For Now." Haunting.



New single from one of fave bands The Church. Gorgeous song.



This is such a sad song and even sadder video. I am really not a downer of a person, but I tend to enjoy music that is on the side of minor chords. The ending of this video is very poignant.



Funky dayglo painted video from flamboyant artiste Patrick Wolf. New single for "Hard Times" from his fantastic new cd The Bachelor.
