give us a kiss and maybe we can go out,
it’s hard to miss you when you follow us abou-ou-ou-out
Late Night Music Video: This Too Shall Pass, by OK Go

let it gothis too shall pass
Pop Friday Music Video: Hollywood, by Marina and the Diamonds
Conservatives hate things that are unpatriotic, except that they also hate our president and want America to fail. This is what happens when your entire political philosophy is purely emotional rather than rational.
i’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
Late Night Music Video: De-Luxe, by Lush
Yes, I discovered this song on Rock Band 2.
drink in your eyes, drink in your sighs
grass in my thighs, my aching legs
Late Night Music Video: Cut Your Hair, by Pavement
Indie legends.
i don’t remember a word but i don’t care, i care, i really don’t care
did you see the drummer’s hair?
Late Night Music Video: Dig For Fire, by The Pixies
They weren’t really fans of making music videos, so they always made sure to put in as little effort as possible. They are, however, the inspiration for nearly every band that followed them.
are you looking for the mother lode? huh? no.
no, my child, this is not my desire.
Late Night Music Video: Various Disgraces, by The Blam
Heard it on an episode of The Office, and my wife immediately purchased it on iTunes. Money well spent, because I’d forgotten about it until this past weekend when I found it on her phone.

Old School.
17Jan2010 | xstryker | 1 comment | ContinuedMy favorite songs of the decade
I’m not going to throw the word “best” around – when Rolling Stone declares that Radiohead’s electrosomnolent “Kid A” to be the best album of the decade, it’s time to retire the idea of telling people your favorite things are objectively better than things that you don’t like. The point of this list is that [...]

Late Night Music Video: Throwing Muses – Firepile
This is one of my all time favorite songs.
your baby’s running faster,
count the times I left my clothes out,
count the tires one more time,
count the times I let the air out;
that firepile’s your home.
Late Night Music Video — Mashup via Rubik Cubes
The Beatles and the Clash!
h/t Andrew Sullivan
Late Night Music Video: The Decemberists – Valerie Plame
No actual video, just a static image and an album. But oh, how I wish they would have made a video for this one!
and so my vespa became your chariot,
from the green zone marriott
Late Night Music Video: The Raveonettes – That Great Love Sound
These two are from Denmark, with a retro 60’s sound (with a little Jesus & Mary Chain thrown in).
if only you could listen,
try to change your mind
Late Night Music Video: Muse – Supermassive Black Hole
Muse rocks my friggin’ socks.
glaciers melting in the dead of night;
and the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Late Night Music Video: Regina Spektor – Bobbing For Apples
This is a live performance from Tuscon, AZ. There is no studio-recorded version of this song yet.
lovely people, lovely places,
i can’t remember names and i can’t remember faces;
someone next door’s f***ing to one of my songs.
Pop Friday: Ingrid Michaelson – The Way I Am
Friday is for pop without apology. BTW, I saw Ingrid play the Tin Angel before anyone knew who she was. No idea what’s up with the clowns in this video though.
cause i love the way you say good morning;
and you take me the way i am.
Late Night Music Video: The Breeders – Walk It Off
Off their latest album, Mountain Battles – yes, the Breeders are still together and still touring. I saw them at the TLA and verily did they rock out.
nobody’s allowed to fight;
’til the band starts playin’ tonight.
Late Night Music Video: Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks – Gardenia
Indie Pop god Stephen Malkmus (formerly of Pavement) with his new band, the Jicks (feat. drummer Janet Weiss, formerly of the grrrl band godesses Sleater-Kinney). They are too indie for a real video, so these are just some pictures thrown together by a fan.
it’s like we’re at a ponzi scaminar.
there’s no escaping without a door [...]
Late Night Music Video: The Toadies – Away
The Toadies owe their career to the Pixies. But so does every other alt-rock band.
and if i’m asleep…
make sure my blanket covers me
Late Night Music Video: Be Your Own Pet – The Kelly Affair
A song about the cult classic movie “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls”.
everybody here parties all the time;
everybody here’s got sex on their minds
Late Night Music Video: Vanessa Mae – Toccata & Fugue
A modern spin on a Bach classic.

if the robots win we’ll have to listen to techno;
heck no! heck no, i’ll never listen to techno
Late Night Music Video: Mika – Lollipop
I hereby declare that Friday night is for Pop, no matter how sugary. Jason, for one, ought to appreciate that.
if she loves you let her go;
’cause love only gets you down
Late Night Music Video: Air Traffic – Never Even Told Me Her Name
Great song, not really intended for release as a video – it’s just the band playing the song in the studio during the recording of their debut album.
i heard you on the radio, you were screaming out;
you grabbed me by my heart and soul, through the speaker cone
Late Night Music Video: Jimmy Luxury & the Tommy Rome Orchestra – Cha Cha Cha
This is what Dean Martin would sound like if he was a rapper.
have a martini, maybe one, two or three;
watch a couple o’ westerns on my color tv
