Saturday Morning Videos

by Pop Tarts Suck Toasted on Sat, 2009/05/23 - 2:00pm

 


Tortoise - "Prepare Your Coffin"; Looking at the cover of the new Tortoise album Beacons of Ancestorship and then watching this video makes complete linear sense. On the album cover you have a series of lines that create shapes and in this video we are given a character who races around capturing photos of the shapes of our world. Perfect symmetry right there, and neatly fitting with the music here.
Grade: B+


British Sea Power - "Come Wander with Me"; Watching the latest video from British Sea Power I am once again reminded of why I don’t watch time slip by in an hour glass - because it is fucking boring!
Grade: C-


Crystal Stilts - "Love Is A Wave"; Visually and musically the stolen images used in this video fit perfectly with the lyrics and sounds of "Love Is A Wave". It was already a pretty stellar song, but now that it has a video that fits so well it would be a huge, if there was still a big TV station that played music videos. I guess it will have to settle for this.
Grade: B


Deerhoof - "This Is God Speaking"; This video is pretty fucking creepy if you ask me. Animated, religious, weird. What the fuck is going on here?
Grade: C

Video of the Week:

Two Weeks


Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks"; If you weren’t sick of Grizzly Bear yet, by the end of this week you will be completely fed up and seeking out Ed Droste and company. But for those that adore the band (and there are many of us) let’s all kick off the week of their highly anticipated release with this awesome video for "Two Weeks". Yeah, it may just be a video of a band sitting around a church singing the song, but the effects they use on their faces is pretty awesome to watch.
Grade: A
