Sleigh Bells - "Rill Rill"

Alexis Krauss is the biggest, baddest, bitchin badass out there. Fact.

Newly released video for Sleigh Bell's Rill Rill:


This video is beyond epic. Rill Rill is one of the standout songs from their debut album and this video goes so well with the laidback thumping rythym of the song and the overall 'does it look like i give a fuck?' attitude of the band.


i'm not gonna lie, there were at least three separate times i screamed "AHHH!" out loud in excitement/shock while watching this video for the first time:

1) when she pushes him out of the car lol
2) when she throws the guitar out of the car
3) when she makes the knife pop

honourable mention goes to: the bloody phone.


and to think that Alexis Krauss used to be a primary school teacher makes this video that much better :D

girl walk // all day

Officially my new favourite thing:

Ahoy!

We've set out to combine the amazing talents of improvisational dancer Anne Marsen (and a supporting cast of contemporary dancers) with the epic new Girl Talk album, All Day, creating an album-length music video of grand proportions. We'll continue shooting through the spring of 2011, then plan to screen the piece, in full, in public, as well as make it fully available for free online.

That girl has so much courage- i love it! And what a great idea to make an improvised dance video for Girl Talk's album. And to name it Girl Walk. File under: Brillz

Worth checking out:


one of the coolest parts is the making-of video at the end:


it's cool because of the music, and because i just discovered an awesome new Montreal band. Theyre called Like Elliot Did and the songs they have on their myspace are the perfect soundtrack for a mid-winter morning.

and here's a song i found on the tube:

will do more research!
