The Head & The Heart - "Rivers and Roads"
just stumbled upon, no real knowledge of the band other than the fact that the vocals are beautiful in this video. i love simple video settings that utilize surrounding natural acoustics, it definitely emphasizes a band's veracity.
another beautiful video:

Sleigh Bells - "Rill Rill" (Clique NewTrends Remix)
A great way to start your weekend.
Clique is a Manchester, UK-based remix crew/DJ thing, but more importantly, their remix of Sleigh Bell's "Rill Rill" transforms the laidback noise track into a dance floor friendly disco fest.
Ian, one of the group's members, on the track:

Ian, one of the group's members, on the track:
"We've just finished our remix of Sleigh Bells' Rill Rill, and we'd like you to be one of the first to hear it - we managed to get an exclusive from Derek, to do the first proper discoey remix of the amazing [song]. We stripped it down and built it back up with live guitars, disco glitter and pop magic thrown at it, for extra dancefloor-friendliness. We were listening to a lot of Phoenix, Chic and Balaeric House when we made this!"

Sleigh Bells - "Rill Rill"
Alexis Krauss is the biggest, baddest, bitchin badass out there. Fact.
Newly released video for Sleigh Bell's Rill Rill:
Sleigh Bells - Rill Rill from Jon Watts on Vimeo.
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 lol2) when she throws the guitar out of the car3) when she makes the knife pophonourable 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:
Girl Walk // All Day from jacob krupnick on Vimeo.
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.
File under: reason to move to Brooklyn #635.
The New York Times' 10th Annual Year in Ideas
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!
