VIDEO: Low ‘Something’s Turning Over’This is actually Alan Sparhawk playing solo the closing track from Low's forthcoming album 'C'mon'. On the album this is one of the most polished tracks they've recorded, here it's rougher but maintains much of the magic, despite the absence of Mimi Parker's sweetening harmonies. Third Man Rolling Record StoreProps to Jack White, this looks very cool! But I can't help thinking that it's probably going to appeal more to people my age rather than High School kids. VIDEO: The Fuzztones ‘Ward 81′A classic bit of garage rock revival from 1984. Haven't listened to this in a long while but much of their debut album Lysergic Emanations still holds up - '1-2-5', 'She's Wicked', 'Gotta Get Some'. Landscaping rocks available in ChristchurchPost-earthquake levity on NZ auction site - money raised goes to earthquake relief fund. Amplify’d from www.trademe.co.nz
VIDEO: The Decemberists ‘The King Is Dead’ LiveOne of my favourite live bands of 2010, The Decemberists play the whole of their new album live in front of a studio audience. Pretty special stuff, much less prog-folk than the Hazzard of Love, touches of early R.E.M. There's also an audio only version. Amplify’d from www.npr.org
VIDEO: Portlandia Ep. 1Talk about your niche comedies. Fred Armisen (SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney) take the piss our of Portland and a subsection of the sort of people who live there. But don't let its none-more-indie setup put you off. VIDEO: artist / director Ross Harris on Elliott Smith"My shaky camera work perfectly mirrors the feelings I have about Elliott now. I know that he's still there but I can't quite get a clear glimpse of him anymore" Amplify’d from vimeo.com
VIDEO: Warpaint ‘Billie Holiday’ReAmplify'd post by Nick Peters
I cannot wait to see Warpaint at Laneway in February. This acoustic version of a track from their debut EP is simply stunning.

VIDEO: Joan As Police Woman ‘The Magic’I first heard of Joan Wasser about 11 years ago when someone sent me a copy of Those Bastard Souls' 'Debt and Departure'. I wasn't a massive fan of that album but even then Wasser had already amassed an interesting resume working with Mary Timony, Michaal Tighe and Nathan Larson as well as having been Jeff Buckley's other half before his untimely death in 1997. The release of her eponymous mini-album (and particularly the track 'Stagger Into The Light') in 2005 was what really turned me on to her music. This is the first taste of her forthcoming third full length solo album 'The Deep Field' due out January 24th. |
