Sarah Blasko - No Turning Back

Good song. Wild video.

Five Easy Pieces

Five poems (though "From a Transubstantiation" is excerpted from a longer piece) set to music and sound effects. These links are to the mp3 files:

Things To Do In New York City (Cool Upright Remix)

Link (updated to mp3): Things To Do In New York City (Cool Upright Remix).

Ingredients:
1. Ted Berrigan recorded in 1973 reading his poem “Things To Do In New York (City).”
2. The “Cool Upright 02” bass loop in GarageBand.
3. Various clips from dobroide's City Noise audio pack.
4. A modest drum track I laid down.

Drunken Boat - Home

My first attempt at a music vid.

Alice Donut - Medication

Was looking to post Tiny Ugly World but there's no video for it, and the audio has a few blips, so.

Crystal Antlers - Andrew

Not sure that this song is as good as it could have been, but it definitely has its moments.

Elvis Perkins In Dearland - Shampoo (Gold Room Session)

Song of the year contender.

The Leather Nun - Jesus Came Driving Along

I prefer the studio version, but this is still a fine tune for Easter. Happy Sunday.

Beirut - Scenic World (live)

—•—

The lights go on. The cat sneaks out.
You walk in and the rain on the roof
feels about right. The answering
machine hurls 1 after 1 your way
as if you cared about the truth
as much as the purely breathtaking.

Thao with The Get Down Stay Down - Swimming Pools

Who couldn’t enjoy the exquisite sounds of Thao Nguyen and The Get Down Stay Down? Hat tip to Todd Colby’s Glee Farm, where this was posted last Friday along with the bouncy good fun “Bag of Hammers.”

New Bloods - Doubles

Out from the soggy underground of Portland, Oregon: the New Bloods. “All we are is what we were before we were colonized!”

The Primates - She

A rare nugget from 1965, “She” is one of only four songs recorded by Queens garage band The Primates. Garage Hangover has a bit more info as well as downloads of all four tracks.

Drunken Boat - Rabbit
