Fang Island, Daisy

I had actually seen this video the other day but didn’t have time to post it. And randomly, it popped up on my iTunes just now, so I remembered! I really like Fang Island’s Weezer-esque guitars and group chanting, and this in-one-take (maybe…) video definitely captures the energy and spirit of their music. I almost lose my shit every time I see that guy run in with a flag that just says “VAYA CON DIOS” on it.

Rihanna - “Rude Boy”

Great song and great video. Rihanna is our generation’s Teddy Roosevelt.

This is seriously good, Owen Pallett performs Lewis Takes Off His Shirt as a thunderstorm brews in the background.

It’s amazing how the wind and rain intensify throughout the song as the stage crew try to protect the gear and artist. The set is signalled to be shut down, Owen pleads “Just one more minute” and then everything culminates in an epic goose bump inducing finale.

The video is shot by We Fans a self described collective of videographers, sound guys and overall insatiable music fans and freaks. Really good stuff.

“An Italian singer wrote this song with gibberish to sound like English. It’s actually quite a great song and video, I wish there was more info on it.”
