The website for the new Apples in Stereo record, Travellers in Space and Time, has debuted, and it’s named after an Elf Power song: Step Through the Portal. As a precursor to the debut of the album’s first video, “Dance Floor,” Robert Schneider and Elijah Wood have put together this, well, Robert calls it a “local public television science show from an alternate universe.” Enjoy:
If you’re one of the first 250 people to pre-order Travellers in Space and Time from Yep Roc Records, you’ll receive a bonus 12″, Future Vintage, featuring covers of Apples songs by six different bands, including (coincidence?) Elf Power.
Side A:
1. “Ruby” by Ted Leo
2. “Benefits of Lying (w/ Your Friend)” by Bad Veins
3. “The Rainbow” by Throw Me The Statue
Side B:
1. “Ruby” by The Generationals
2. “Same Old Drag” by Maps and Atlases
3. “Strawberryfire” by Elf Power
Courtesy Shout Factory/Majordomo, here’s the new video from Miles Kurosky, “Dog in the Burning Building.” The former Beulah frontman’s debut solo album, The Desert of Shallow Effects, is available now (early!) from the label’s website.
Folks, this sounds like vintage Beulah to me. It’s very, very good.
Dressy Bessy continue to offer a complete video accompaniment to their album HOLLERandSTOMP – here’s their latest, just unveiled, for “Roundabout”. You can watch the other videos here. Attention anyone in the Denver area: they’ll be playing City Hall at 1144 Broadway this Saturday.
A first for today: a post that does not contain the full text of a press release. Thanks very much to the fabulous Vanessa Hay for sending along this link to a new video from Supercluster’s album Waves, out now on Cloud Recordings:
Athens Soundies recently shot some video of James Husband performing “Window” and “While the Boys Went Down Under,” both from his recent album A Parallax I. This is some great footage – enjoy:
Dressy Bessy wishes you a merry Christmas with this brand new, Tammy Ealom-produced video for an older song from their catalogue, “All the Right Reasons” (which originally appeared on Kindercore Records’ 1999 compilation Christmas Two, if you must know). We got about eighteen inches of snow in Madison, WI, yesterday, and the windchill right now is about 20 below zero, so this video is kind what I needed right now…happy holidays!
Since it’s Jeff Mangum week, why not? Here’s Jeff playing “Sailing Through/Two-Headed Boy Part 2″ live at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, CA, on 4/12/98. Thanks to defgav for posting it.
Yes, I’ve been slow to add these – I apologize. The Townhall and Pitchfork have been linking to new (to us) Neutral Milk Hotel live videos from the Knitting Factory in 1998, posted on YouTube by goldenpuppy1.
