Video Thursday!

When I was studying abroad in Manchester, UK I went to a karaoke night and someone picked this song and the whole place sang along. One of my favorite songs from high school.

My best friend got me into Cibo Matto after she saw the real Know Your Chicken video on 120 minutes. We used to sing it to her mom while she made dinner. I'm pretty sure she thought we were nuts/on the drugs. After watching this video, I kind of miss the way girls/women dressed in the 90s.

I was so busy ripping 7 inches that I almost forgot about video thursday. The video below is by Spiritualized for the song Electricity. I just ripped their 7" on Sub Pop so expect that soon.



So I'm going to see Spectrum next month with Cheval Sombre and I think the Psychic Ills (just ripped one of their 7"s as well.) So Cheval Sombre is the first act signed to Dean and Britta's new label so I thought it would be fitting to link a video from their movie 'Tell Me Do You Miss Me' of them playing 23 Minutes in Brussels.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I try to listen to this song (english version) every year. This will have to do.

Since I'm in Florida, I thought this was fitting...

I'm headed to the airport and back to NYC so I thought this was fitting...

I saw these guys a couple months ago at glasslands and they weren't that great live. not terrible but the vocals didn't really hold up. It was sold out and I lied and got my friend Sarah in for free. Then I had to convince a bartender that my friend was sober enough to hang and then fell in love.



This video, like most of Bjork's videos, is amazing. I've been full of wanderlust lately so it's fitting.

I love this video. It's directed by Miranda July and it's simple but great. "Do you think I'm an animal? Am I not?"



I love videos where people dance on buses or trains. There have been many times when I was listening to Pizzicato 5 on the subway and half expected everyone to bust out in choreographed dance moves. This is probably one of my favorite songs of all time plus Cibo Matto are in the video. Also as a bonus, here is a remix of Ladyfingers by DJ Wally.



This video is a classic. I used to have an awesome Sonic Youth t shirt of two teenagers slow dancing but I lost it many years ago.

I really wanted to link the real video for Portishead's Machine Gun but I couldn't find a copy to embed. The first time I heard this album I thought it was amazing. The fourth time I thought it was boring and now I'm back to thinking it's great.



My brother took me to see Pulp the day before I left for college. Bran Van 3000 opened up. Their set was pretty ridiculous.



I love this song and video. The first time I saw Final Fantasy live he opened up for Arcade Fire. He was dressed in a marching band outfit, had bad dark roots and I thought his music was boring. Two years later, I'm a big fan. I think his show with Grizzly Bear/Brooklyn Philharmonic later this month is going to be great.
