Walked the Williamsburg Bridge with Cal and the dudes this past October during CMJ. Took some snaps. You can check out more of my CMJ photos over at ChartAttack. 

music video of the day: "Modern Girl" by Sleater-Kinney

Because they're hanging out on The Chris Gethard Show at the very moment that I'm typing this. 

Check out their new single "Bury Our Friends" from the January 2015 Sleater-Kinney album, No Cities to Love. The video features Miranda July who is a bad ass.

music video of the day: "Yellow Flicker Beat" by Lorde

Because Emily Kai Bock directed this one. She is a beast and is slaaaaying the music video game. She may be my favourite music video director of the year. Like... yup I'm pretty sure she wins. 

Also because I'm totally going to see Hunger Games tonight and this is Lorde's Hunger Games song. I love Lorde by the way. Hope you can deal with that. You hear the Kanye rework of this track? Check it below. It's similar but still sick. 

music video of the yesterday: "Infernal Fantasy" by Owen Pallett

No need for anything flashy when what you have is this stunning. 
Also Brian Eno is on this track. No big deal. 

 

* my laptop is hella broken so yeah I'm sorry this is a day late please forgive me

music video of the day: "Agoraphobia" by Deerhunter

Because I was in a car on a 12 hour drive today and Deerhunter soundtracked a bunch of it.

Loving this track from this new Montreal duo, made up of David Switchenko and Nick Schofield.

music video of the day: "Making A Fool Of You" by HOMESHAKE

Caught HOMESHAKE during M for Montreal and it was super groovy. I dig.

music video of the day: "3Jane" by EMA

If you haven't heard EMA's latest record The Future's Void - do yourself a favour and do it up. A stunning concept album and a bad ass piece of work. One of my favourites of the year for sure. 

Check out EMA's Letterman performance from summer below. Intense and awesome.

music video of the day: "Our Love" by Caribou

Caribou play tonight at the Danforth Music Hall with Jessy Lanza and it's super sold out (+ limited tickets at the door go now if you're lucky)!
I'm so excited. Saw them both at Pitchfork Paris and it was a dream. Photo below.

music video of the day: "Windows" by Angel Olsen

Won't you open a window sometime? What's so wrong with the light?

If you've yet to fall deeply for Angel Olsen this should do the trick.
Her lovely album Burn Fire For No Witness came out earlier this year. It's really great.

music video of the day: "The Light" by Nick Hakim

This dude right here. Smooth stuff indeed.
Check out his soul watering EPs Where Will We Go Pt. 1 & 2 below. 

music video of the day: "In Conflict" by Owen Pallett

Because you are more than time and space. 

Owen's words below...

The song is about men; the ghost of my father whispering to me about human desire, and it’s about this moment in your life when you start to recognize that your body is a series of apparatus and you start to covet the bodies of people younger than you. I don’t identify as male, I identify as gender-queer, but I am very sympathetic whenever I see men throwing aside everything they have for the love of somebody new. It’s been the subject of so much poetry.

music video of the day: "Switch Lanes" by Tkay Maidza

Kawaii bad ass. Check her mixtape below. 

music video of the day: "Why" by Les Sins ft. Nate Salman

Because today is a great day for dance moves and good vibes. Friday stuff.
