Some Music for Your Viewing Pleasure.

Caveat: I don't normally spend hours a day looking for videos on the web, but I have stumbled across some pretty quality stuff over the last couple days and I thought I would share it. Also, I apologize for my inability to post hyperlinks in the blog, but everytime I post, blogger kills the link. So, copy and paste your way to joy.

Let's start with a Sufjan Video I probably should have found several months ago, but I am slow. The definite bonus here, a new song that I had never heard before: The Lakes of Canada. It is pretty hard to beat Sufjan, a banjo and a rooftop.

Now for something completely different. The Arcade Fire never does exactly what you expect, but this came out of no where. It is a pretty sweet idea using one of my favorite songs from "Neon Bible."

Beirut is a fairly new act in in indie scene. Their first album, "Gulag Orkestar," was stunning, especially considering it was made by a 19 year old. With a new album just released, Beirut has lived up to their potential. Here is a video of Beirut with Grizzly Bear.

Finally, a missed reason to visit NYC. This is a trailer for Sigur Ros' movie "Heima." The film was released last night in NYC and will be realsed on DVD in a month. The best part, they will be releasing a double EP along with the film which will include previously unreleased tracks and rare acoustic versions of some previously released work. The most exciting for me, an acoustic version of "Untitled #3" from the album "( )", which, as some of you know, was the processional for my wedding earlier this year. Enjoy some footage of one of the most amazing bands in the world.
