SNOW DAY VIDS - JONSI // WILD BEASTS // XIU XIU

While we settle for snowpocalypse part deux, let's imagine the warmth of a future summer, lean back and relax with a nice cup of steaming hot chocolate - 3 marshmallows please. Here are some fresh music videos for your snowed in pleasure.



Jonsi's new Gobbledigook-esque track "Go Do" gets the video treatment featuring fancy makeup, a pretty rad costume, a reliable carrier pigeon and a some damn nice land scape shots.

I think it would be pretty cool to float in mid air like that. Thoughts?

Kind of a gnarly video, but it seems like chocolate doesn't make everybody happy...

Wildscreen.TV Presents They Shoot Music ft. Wavves, Xiu Xiu, Crystal Antlers + more

I was first introduced to the concept of the "Take Away Show" a while ago by none other then the mighty Blogotheque. Ever since then I've come across other sites that do the same thing, but with much less impact and credibility. Well I think that may have changed. Wildscreen.TV has a channel called They Shoot Music who invites bands to play a 2 song session during their stay in Vienna.

They feature bands like Wavves, Xiu Xiu, The Mae Shi, Micah P Hinson, Crystal Antlers, Islands and soo many more. Check out the vid above and bookmark this mother effer

[also be sure check out Black Cab Sessions]

PS: I think the video above just plays whatever it wants. Keep refreshing if you want to see other sessions
