WatchNew Keane! (And yes, the only place I could find the video was on Perez.) Here’s the video for their newest song, “Stop for a Minute.” I know Meredith will be dancing a bit across the pond. It’s nothing terribly original from the band, but it’s definitely catchy, and K’naan spices up their sound a bit with a style that reminds me of some old song my grandfather...

Two Door Cinema Club's Album "Tourist History"
I am always looking for new music on Hypem.com. Two Door Cinema Club has blown up on blogs for the last couple of months. Their new album “Tourist History” is unbelievable. If you like to dance, you will love this indie rock album. It’s my favorite rock album since “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”. “Tourist History” has received top ratings from every...

Calling any original work
So since the “Museletter” kind of fell through, we decided to encourage posting original work on the Blog. Tag these works with “Originals” and they will eventually be collected into a category titled, appropriately, “Originals.”

Los Angeles, 1950's Style →
So right about this time last year I was soaking up all that beautiful Los Angeles had to offer. It was Spring Break and Southern California was sunny, warm, and welcoming. The Connecticut rain and gloom? But a distant memory.
Unfortunately, I’m not repeating my West Coast jaunt this year, but I have these really awesome vintage pictures of L.A. from the ’50s and ’60s to help...

Pursuit of Happiness
Kid Cudi recently released a new (alternate) video to his song Pursuit of Happiness. In it, Cudi battles his nightmares attempting to remove himself from the loop of constant terror and cold sweats. The song itself is already amazing, but combined with very artistic visual portrayal it has become one of the best videos that I have ever seen.
Also, Ratatat member Mike Stroud gets some shine in...

Broken Bells
So I know that themilltheblog has already been giving love to Broken Bells - a new collaboration between James Mercer of The Shins and half of Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse, but I just wanted throw them up one more time. The music builds on the unique sound of The Shins, ranging from the very Billy Jean-esque “The Ghost Inside” to the lyrically cryptic ballads that Mercer has become...

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg...
I am not too familiar with Ok Go’s music, but this video needed to be posted. Ok Go made an alternate video for their single “This Too Shall Pass”. The video is based on a Rube Goldberg Machine (a deliberately over engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction). Everything in this video is one working chain...

WatchHere’s a cute, kinda funny short film I found. It’s called “Babe” and it centers around two recently broken up yuppies. On the surface, there’s much to love: some Chet Baker and Nat King Cole songs, an argument over who “gets the Prius” - both amidst the backdrop of a drab, black and white diner.
I’d say its trying to self depreciatingly poke fun at the urban, liberal, mildly hip twentysomethings...

BODY LANGUAGE.
Body Language is going to be here THIS SATURDAY AT 10 PM AT THE MILL.
Holycrap.
As Big Stereo puts it, Body Language is like “worn out cassette tapes playing back big pop tracks, not quite chillwave but not quite club — a beautiful healthy mix.”
Body Language is a 5-piece outfit from Brooklyn (because who isn’t these days) who are being hailed all over the place as a...
