Walk off the Earth's YouTube video for Somebody That I Used to Know is everywhere these days. I'm sure you've seen and heard it by now, but if you haven't, here it is.
It's a fantastic tune. I love it, and can't get enough of it, but it doesn't belong to Burlington's Walk off the Earth. It's a cover of Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra.
Here's the original, because it's highly unlikely you've seen this.
Gotye's from Australia and this tune won him a few ARIA awards. ARIA is the Australian Juno or Grammy, I gather. Thanks to Walk off the Earth, this cool tune is finally getting heard on this side of the world.
I mentioned I saw the Spoons last night. They played Romantic Traffic, one of my favourite Spoons songs, and that reminded me of the video for that tune.
The Romantic Traffic video stars our very own TTC.
I was just reading about one shot music videos. These are videos that are made with a single take. I like a lot of one shot music videos, and here are ten of my favourites.
Note: While on YouTube throwing this list together, I noticed a bunch of my favourites had embedding disabled. To punish those acts, they don't get to be on this list. Shame on you, White Stripes.
Youtube user maxluere created this nice little video he calls "A Life on Facebook".
It happens to feature my favourite Rolling Stones song. I doubt he properly licensed the tune, so you might want to view this before Mick finds out and calls his lawyers.
As 2005 wound down, I ambitiously decided to write about my 10 favourite songs from that calendar year. On that list was my favourite song, "I'll Believe In Anything", from one of my favourite albums of the year, Apologies to the Queen Mary by Wolf Parade.
Wolf Parade's latest album is the perfectly-named-for-a-Canadian-band Expo 86. Here's an awesome video for a great song from that album, "Yulia".
