VIDEO: St Vincent - Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood

With a song title like that and her mystical eyes/voice, you would think the video for "Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood" would be just as creepy and entrancing as her other music videos. But team ThunderAnt [Carrie Brownstein of Sleater Kinney and Fred Armisen of SNL] join Annie Clark to make it wonderfully humorous with their "brand" of awkward comedy.

Throw Me The Statues new video for their song "Hi-Fi Goon" shows the guys going on a wild elephant chase though town [after they played Jumangi?] and end up catching sasquatch - wait no, it's a pretty girl in a white fur coat. I guess they gave up and decided to play poolside. hm

I know I'm pretty late on posting this video, but I don't really care because I'm just as tranced as the people that are in it. At least it's not as hard to watch as her last one was - [it was actually a really really good video]

Thom Yorke recently performed an acoustic version of Reckoner for the premier of the movie Age Of Stupid via satellite. I have nothing clever and witty to say about this, sorry

TRACKLIST + MP3: New Moon Soundtrack - Death Cab For Cutie

I never got into the whole Twilight thing. After looking at this tracklist for the upcoming movie New Moon, I feel kind of happy but awkward. Do I embrace the fact that indie rock is having it's day and let it ride or feel strange that teeny-bopper-superfans will become huge fans of Grizzly Bear? It'll probably be the first. I highly doubt the latter. and to tell you the truth, this tracklist kind of reminds me of this charity album that dropped earlier this year...

1. Death Cab for Cutie: "Meet Me on the Equinox"
2. Band of Skulls: "Friends"
3. Thom Yorke: "Hearing Damage"
4. Lykke Li: "Possibility"
5. The Killers: "A White Demon Love Song"
6. Anya Marina: "Satellite Heart"
7. Muse: "I Belong to You (New Moon Remix)"
8. Bon Iver and St. Vincent: "Rosyln"
9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: "Done All Wrong"
10. Hurricane Bells: "Monsters"
11. Sea Wolf: "The Violet Hour"
12. OK Go: "Shooting the Moon"
13. Grizzly Bear: "Slow Life"
14. Editors: "No Sound But the Wind"
15. Alexandre Desplat: "New Moon (The Meadow)"

VIDEO: St. Vincent @ Jimmy Kimmel 9/2/09

I forgot to watch Kimmel last night to catch St. Vincent's live performance. I guess having to wake up @ 6:00am would do that. Thankfully, the wonders of youtube can recap her and her band of merry brass instruments bringing "Marrow" to the plate. I didn't really think that the song would translate on late night tv as well as it did. It's like an upbeat nightmare that squeaks and squeals underneath the floorboards. and those eyes...
