do you miss slideshows? family and friends sharing slide after insufferable slide of their mundane vacations and artificial smiles?

22 09 2011

unknown mortal orchestra have got an incredibly low budget video for their song “ffunny friends” off their self-titled album. despite the cut-rate smoke and camera effects, the video is pretty brilliant at matching the scattershot tone of the song.

video: summer camp – better off without you (2011)

12 09 2011

beach-twee lives!

for summer camp’s new, split-screen video for “better off without you,” the 70′s are revived in the form of a teenage joyride as the duo rock out on a fender mustang and a um, glass of water. i especially like the way elizabeth sankey seems to sneer out certain lyrics. it’s all about attitude.

video: wild flag – romance (2011)

7 09 2011

in the new video for “romance,” the ladies of wild flag free themselves of their crummy office drone jobs (“it says it’s a pie chart – it’s shaped like a square. who did that?”), don animal masks and wreak rockstar havoc on their local record store (sorry fucked up, superchunk and spoon), wire up on coffee and make pit stops for ice cream and puppies.

thanks tom sharpling for directing such insane and hilarious music videos.

wild flag is out september 13.
