A moment to recognize 2 things

Just want to take a brief moment to recognize two things I am currently really into:
1- The music videos of Matthew Lessner
Not saying these videos make a hell of a lot of sense, but they are gorgeous to look at and really fun. His newest is for Local Natives. This band is wicked. Brit turned me on to them a few months back when he featured one of their songs of Where in the World Radio. This video is strange as hell but grabs your attention by the balls and doesnt let go.

Local Natives "World News" from Monte Lomax on Vimeo.


If you like this video, I highly recommend checking out his video for Dirty Projectors "Stillness is the Move".... equally as weird and entertaining.

2- Black Cab Sessions
Matt Kirk turned me on to these. Super cool, super simple, super effective.
These guys cram excellent artists in the back of little black cabs and film them playing a song.
That's it.

Mr Lif from Black Cab Sessions on Vimeo.


Excellent gimmick that rivals the Take Away Shows.
Along with this one of Mr. Lif, I recommend Man Man, Grizzly Bear, The Felice Brothers, and well, just about all of them are at the very least, worth checking out.
