Keaton Henson: You
I was randomly browsing around Vimeo, and happened across this video by William Williamson, featuring Sir Derek Jacobi. Wasn’t sure what to make of it, but I dug it and thought I’d share.

The Wallings Jr.: On the Edge of Morning
A recent favorite group that I’ve found via Rdio is The Wallings Jr. Their latest album is entitled Before the War, and there are several songs that I’ve just been listening to, over and over. I take this as a good sign, as bands I fall for tend to move me into an obsessive listening loop for a few weeks.
Interactive Music Video: Like a Rolling Stone, by Bob Dylan
Set up as though you were watching TV, this is a very fun and interesting take on the classic Dylan song. At first, I wasn’t sure what was happening with the fake TV shows I was seeing… but after a few moments, I caught on. A pretty nifty effect (and must have been crazy to coordinate).
Kutiman: Thru Tokyo
I found out this weekend that Kutiman has a new video, entitled Thru Tokyo. Created for PBS Digital Studios, this video delights both eyes and ears.
Music Video With Over 4,000 Photos – The Paper Kites: Young
It’s funny how, despite all the differences in hair styles and clothes, I find myself locking eyes with everyone almost immediately. It’s almost a magnetic feeling, where you feel drawn to everyone’s eyes so that you can better “see” everyone as they flash by. I’d recommend listening/watching the video all the way through, if you can. Although it’s tough to resist stopping and starting throughout, as it’s pretty amazing just how many people were involved in this thing.
Ben Pearce: What I Might Do
While at work yesterday, I started browsing around the portfolio of an agency that had done a video for my work place. I happened across this random video by Ben Pearce, consisting of a wide mix of individuals (old ladies, drag queens, east London hipsters) simply dancing to the song.
The Fearless “Well of Death” Riders in Allahabad, India
For their song Wor, Django Django decided to focus the music video entirely on the Well of Death riders in Allahabad, India.
Iiro Rantala New Trio: Shit Catapult
Not sure what I was expecting when I saw the title of this, but I was mesmerized from the get go. At times frenetic, at other time jazzy smooth… this was a fun video to experience. The trio is composed of Finnish jazz pianist Iiro Rantala, guitarist Marzi Nyman, and beat boxer Felix Zenger. Now how’s that for an interesting lineup?
Willis Earl Beal: Evening’s Kiss
Towards the end he gets very emotional, and verges on breaking down and crying. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about it – at times, it’s super uncomfortable to watch; at other times, I’m in awe of how he fights against his emotions, and gathers himself to finish the song.
Gregory Alan Isakov: Saint Valentine
Another one of the songs I’ve been looping lately, from Gregory Alan Isakov’s album The Weatherman. I’m finding myself following a similar pattern as when I first got into The Low Anthem and began to seemingly post up nearly every song on the album here.
Gregory Alan Isakov: Amsterdam
Recently Liz and I travelled to southern Illinois for a family wedding, and this album is something that kept us company for the long drive up and down I-55. In particular, it’s what I listened to on a brief loop while Liz took a late afternoon nap on our way back to Chicago.
Caravan Palace: Star Scat
There are no lyrics per se, or at least as far as I can make out (it’s scat, after all). It’s tough to describe the sound of this one song in particular – although the image that sometimes pops in my head is an incredibly stoned Popeye the Sailor Man, singing as the effects of a nitrous balloon are slowly wearing off. I know, it’s weird. And this song definitely differs from others that I’ve posted on here. But I kind of love it.
Gregory Alan Isakov: Suitcase Full of Sparks
I’ve been listening a lot to the latest album from Gregory Alan Isakov, entitled The Weatherman. In particular, one song that’s gotten into my “perpetual loop” schedule is Suitcase Full of Stars.
Leftover Cuties: One Heart
One of the things I like about using Rdio is going through the new releases each week. Oftentimes, I’ll go through most albums methodically… but I can usually tell within a few seconds whether the album/artist is something I’d like or not. But when I find something I like, it’s always a delightful surprise – especially if the band name or the album cover isn’t what I expected it to be.
Houndmouth: Ludlow
I’ve been listening to From the Hills Below the City, by Houndmouth for the last few weeks, and still not tired of it. These guys were on Letterman last night, and thought I’d share another of their songs.
