Moving Picture Shows

Hello good people of the interweb. Here's a quick installment of some videos for your viewing pleasure. Let the procrastination commence. . .

N.A.S.A. feat. KRS-One, Fatlip, & Slim Kid Tre - "Hip Hop"
N.A.S.A. stands for "North America / South America," the duo is made up of LA-based producer Sam Speigel and his Brazilian counterpart DJ Zegon. They met at a hollywood party in 2003 and discovered they had a mutual love for 60's Brazilian music. Their debut album "The Spirit of Apollo" comes out Feb. 17th and is studded with an eclectic list of big-name collaborators such as: David Byrne, MIA, Tom Waits, Method Man, George Clinton, Ghostface, Lykke Li, Kanye to name a few. These guys will make a splash in 2009 a la the Neptunes a few years back. Although from what I've heard, N.A.S.A.'s sound is more diverse and unique than their brethren.


MGMT - "Electric Feel"
Nothing says MGMT like an improptu, acid-induced jungle dance party with the creepy animal-robot band from Chuck-E-Cheese.


Fol Chen - "No Wedding Cake"
This song is from the upcoming "Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made" album by Fol Chen. The video features a fish with heavy lipstick, lions working as showgirls, an owl with a bleeding heart at the end of an arrow, and assorted other strange goings-on.


Fujiya & Miyagi - "Knickerbocker"
These guys have a great downtempo sound and some pretty creative videos. Including this one.


Hot Chip - "Colours"
One of their best tracks and videos off the older "The Warning" album. Both "The Warning" and their new album "Made in the Dark" are classics and should be owned by all. Just sayin.


Junior Senior - "Move Your Feet"
An oldie but goodie from Junior Senior. A classic.


Armi & Danni - "I Want To Love You Tender"
I think it goes without saying that Armi & Danni paved the way for every ground-breaking video made to date and that "I Want To Love You Tender" will forever stand as the benchmark for which we measure all music videos ever created. It is the pinnacle of music video mastery. Soak it in.


Christian Bale Rant Remix
. . . Just in case you missed it.
