Grandaddy: “Jed’s Other Poem” Video
March 25, 2008 – 9:27 pm
Following up from yesterday, a phenomenal and beautiful video that I love for one of my favorite bands of the last 10 years. Made on an Apple II by Stewart:
Beach House: “You Came To Me” Video
February 14, 2008 – 2:58 pm
Devotion might be my favorite album of this coming year . It is everything I loved about Beach House’s S/T debut but more fully realized. Anyway, this song is beautiful and while the video isn’t as visually stimulating as we have become accustomed to as a society (in terms of pace, not color/image), I think [...]
Live: The Cornelius Group
January 18, 2008 – 7:09 pm
I saw The Cornelius Group last night at Walt Disney Concert Hall and they blew my mind. It was an absolutely unreal experience, fully multimedia.

Via Kanye, this is such a beautiful sight to behold. So simple and exquisite in terms of design. I love it.

When I first saw the film, it wasn’t really available on DVD (although I tried to get it off some out of print collection and its now available through Criterion) but Garret’s post [...]
Beach House: “Gila” and “D.A.R.L.I.N.G”
December 11, 2007 – 5:34 pm
Everyone is posting this for good reason. Absolutely beautiful - the vocals harmonies in the background roll over you like a acoustic tidal wave. I can’t say how much I love Beach House - their sound is just so on point. I specifically appreciate their use of old Casiotones (or at least what sounds like [...]
IN RAINBOWS LIVES
October 10, 2007 – 1:06 am
JESUS WOW. Unreal. I’ll try to talk about this more eloquently later…until now I defer to my favorite blogger:
Well I stayed up late for this, we might as well talk about it, yeah? Upon first (and second and third) listen, In Rainbows exceeds all the expectations we didn’t really have any time to develop. Some [...]
