Memory Tapes – Yes I Know
Memory Tapes’ Seek Magic is one of my favorite albums of the last few years and joyfully, they have a second album called Player Piano coming out soon (July 5th). Below is the bizarre yet beautiful music video for “Yes … Continue reading
Pogo – Fan Videos
YouTube’s goldpikpikcarrots has done a great job of taking some of the Pogo tracks that don’t already have videos and creating his own very faithfully to what Pogo himself would have done. First up is “Hundred Acre Flurry”, a song … Continue reading
Florrie – Experimenting With Rugs
New Florrie! She has a new EP coming out next week, which is very exciting. This isn’t my favorite video of hers, but the song is still great and that’s all that really matters. It looks like she’s been working … Continue reading
Katy Perry – Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
Whether or not you like Katy Perry’s music, you’ve got to admit that this video for her new single “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” is pretty epic. It’s an 8 minute mini-movie in the style of a screwball 80’s teen comedy … Continue reading

Shitty Viddy Friday
Ever since Rebecca Black came into the public’s consciousness Fridays have never been the same. As shitty as that song is–and oh, is it shitty–it’s also extremely catchy, which is the reason why it blew up into the internet phenomena … Continue reading
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Trouble / Household Goods
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs have an amazing new single coming out called “Trouble” from an upcoming, still untitled full-length album. Along with having one of the coolest band names in music they also have a fantastic sound. Think Gaga-esq art … Continue reading
Alex Winston – Sister Wife
Alex Winston must be missing Big Love after the series finale, because how else to explain “Sister Wife”? This is one of my favorite songs this year, mainly because of its crazy infectious chorus: “Hey there, Sister Wife Get the … Continue reading
