2008-10-07 16:26:30 by Stereogum in stereogum
Hole gave it a good spin , and that was nice and all, but this video confirms Ssion's as the gayest and greatest cover of Young Marble Giants ever. Ssion man Cody Critcheloe first shared his take on "Credit In The Straight World" alongside that intense, Lynchian clip for "A Wolves Eye." The concept bar is lower than that outing -- mostly just...

The psychedelic Upstate New Yorkers in Mercury Rev focus on a cat with butterfly wings and a flying elephant (who can shoot fireworks out of his trunk) in their video for Snowflake Midnight 's "Butterfly's Wing."

From the first announcement -- and through those weak sketches featuring her special friend Johnathan Rice and fellow Postal worker Ben Gibbard -- Jenny's been intent on keeping this an extended family affair. Last night she brought Rice and other hugging, harmonizing pals to Conan, making the host hold up her blotter album art a few times while...

...band performed the rockabilly and ramshackle "Boots Of Chinese Plastic" from their just released (today!) ninth album Breaking Up The Concrete .

...music again, despite the Microcastle and Virtual 7" No. 4 leakage. (By the way, who can blame the guy for being pissed?)
