I always hate it when a decorated military officer pulls an electric eel out of an articulating tracheotomy.

Video of the Day: The Bird and the Bee, “She’s Gone”
March 30, 2010
A very pregnant (due next month) Inara George performs “She’s Gone” at the El Rey in Los Angeles three weeks ago, with John Oates guesting. This is one of the many excellent covers included on the B&B’s new disc, “Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates.”
I’m... Read More
Video of the Day: YACHT, “The Afterlife”
March 29, 2010
I think you’re only supposed to do this once, but Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans get right with God in just about every body of water available.

We have to wait nearly two months for Compass. Way too long. Way. Too. Long.

“Hot Tub Time Machine” Cast Talks Eighties Flashbacks
March 23, 2010
I’m seeing “Hot Tub Time Machine” tonight, and I’m inappropriately excited about it — it was written by the same team that did “Sex Drive,” an underrated and under-seen raunch comedy that made it impossible for me to hear the word “Rumspringa” these days without giggling stupidly, so I have high...

Video of the Day: We Have Band, “Divisive”
March 23, 2010
This sounds like the first thing you might hear if you emerged from a “Hot Tub Time Machine” and found yourself trapped in the mid-’80s — in a good way.

Video of the Day: Devendra Banhart, “Baby”
March 22, 2010
So, you’ve got your Zappa facial hair looking super-styley and you’re hanging out in Brooklyn with your buddies from MGMT and the Strokes when a space cylinder drops out of the sky and sucks you into its chamber. But you’re still grooving on the vibe of the day, and even when that space cylinder deposits... Read More
Paul Westerberg Eulogizes Alex Chilton in the New York Times
March 22, 2010
This is a nicely written piece that tells, with typical humor from both men, what a unique and eccentric artist Chilton was, how cool his student is, and the stunning beauty of the Big Star song “Nighttime.” By the way, Mr. Westerberg, we need something new — the last few days have been a not-so-gentle...

Stream MGMT’s “Congratulations”
March 22, 2010
It doesn’t come out until April 13, but since “Congratulations” leaked online not long ago, MGMT decided to stream it for your convenience, hoping to keep fans happy until the actual release. My initial reaction is that MGMT made a significant leap — hear for yourself.

Video of the Day and Review: Rogue Wave, “Good Morning (The Future)”
March 19, 2010
A couple enjoys love among the ruins in this first video from “Permalight.” The video looks like it was shot at the Salton Sea in California — if you ever need a location for your speculative fiction apocalypse movie, go there.
Rogue Wave, “Permalight” (Brushfire)

R.I.P.: Alex Chilton
March 18, 2010
Alex Chilton, the legendary singer-songwriter who fronted the Box Tops and Big Star, died yesterday in Memphis. He was 59.
Chilton was 16 when he wrote and recorded the Box Tops’ classic song “The Letter,” and continued to lead that band through later ’60s hits such as “Cry Like a Baby.” While that... Read More
Video of the Day: Hot Chip, “I Feel Better”
March 17, 2010
Hot Chip - I Feel Better
Hot Chip | MySpace Music Videos
A thoroughly hilarious and disturbing clip in which an overly waxed British boy band gets attacked by fire-breathing mutants and disembodied heads. An early candidate for video of the year.

Video of the Day and Review: Gorillaz, “Stylo”

Gorillaz “Plastic Beach” (Virgin)
Rating: 93
As Damon Albarn predicted with Gorillaz’ 2001 debut and 2005 follow-up, “Demon Days,” the sun-blasted apocalyptic wasteland is going to sound amazing. Long proven as one of pop’s great polyglots, the former Blur man sews styles... Read More

Video of the Day: Marion Cotillard and Franz Ferdinand, “Eyes of Mars”
March 08, 2010
This is actually a Dior production directed by Jonas Akerlund and starring the face of Dior, Marion Cotillard. As Stereogum noted, Alex Kapranos is nowhere to be seen here which is a tad odd, but what exactly is there to complain about? It’s Marion Cotillard — the resoundingly best thing about “Nine.
