James Winters created this ridiculously adorable tribute to recently deceased Beastie Boy, Adam “MCA” Yauch. Winters cajoled his wife, kids and his nephew for the video — one that would probably be a viral hit regardless, but is that much more touching given the recent passing of Yauch. [via blogtown]
The Beastie Boys perform “The New Style” in an unreleased clip from the third season of Chappelle’s Show — you know, the one where Chappelle was in Africa and Charlie Murphy did most of the hosting? Yeah, that one. Anyway, according to Prefix Mag, the clip was thrown up on YouTube by stand-up comedian/Chappelle’s Show co-creator [...]
Feist’s new video for “Bittersweet Melodies” off her 2011 album Metals is basically a slideshow of images from Argentinean photographer Irina Werning’s popular “Back to the Future” photo series. The song and imagery work very well together. [via thehairpin]
David Lynch directed the official, seven minute video for his song “Crazy Clown Time” and yes, before you ask, it’s as psychologically frightening as a David Lynch clown video could be. [via welcometotwinpeaks]
This gives me the feeling of springtime. The band’s self-titled third album is out now via Rounder Records/Concord.
This shuffling cover of the Primitives’ 80s fuzzpop classic “Crash” is the only new B&S track on the band’s upcoming LateNightTales compilation, which drops today. The video was directed by Stephen Tolfrey and it’ll probably help get your through your Monday. [via stereogum]
Do you have eight minutes to spare on your next lunch break? Yes? Good. Then settle in to watch The Shoes’ “Time to Dance,” as described by the official video: Combine the best band in France right now, acclaimed director Daniel Wolfe, production by Somesuch & Co, and one of the hottest young actors on the planet [...]
Vancouver’s Ruffled Feathers, whom I’ve written plenty about before, have a debut album coming out in April. The band has slowly been releasing two song per week from the album for free leading up to the album’s release. Not only that, but they’ve also been including artwork, little stories, an a slew of extra goodies. [...]
Josh Ritter has released three albums to date and established himself as one of this generations great singer-songwriters. Ritter just released a new EP and the first single debuted as a video for ETSY. Now, you might wonder why a video would debut on a website that sells crafts, but once you see the video [...]
White Rabbits are back on March 6th with their third LP, Milk Famous, via tbd Records. I loved the band’s first album from first track to last. Their second album was great in moments, but the sum of the whole was less than the parts. Interesting to see how the third records unfolds. [via MFR]
