Kurt Vile – “Never Run Away”

May 9, 2013

When I spoke with professional chill dude Kurt Vile for Exclaim! a few weeks ago, he had just wrapped up a music video shoot. He didn’t give many details about it, but I’m guessing that this clip for “Never Run Away” is it. This comes from the excellent Wakin on a Pretty Daze.

Hollerado – “Pick Me Up”

March 17, 2013

My life has included a lot of Hollerado lately. I interviewed singer Menno Versteeg for Exclaim!, and reviewed the band as part of a show with Billy Talent and Sum 41 for the Georgia Straight.

The new album, White Paint, is one of the year’s best albums so far. Below is the new single “Pick Me Up.”

Darwin Deez – “Free (The Editorial Me)”

February 14, 2013

I’m a juror for the inaugural instalment of the Prism Prize, a Canadian music video award that recently announced its top 10. Go to Exclaim! to read my story about that.

This isn’t a Canadian music video, but it’s probably my favourite one of the year so far. It’s a by Darwin Deez for his fuzzy tune “Free (The Editorial Me).” It’s a bit like Groundhog Day, except time resets itself every few seconds rather than every day.

Toro y Moi – “Say That”

February 5, 2013

Toro y Moi’s new album is called Anything in Return and it features catchy electro tunes like this one, “Say That,” which contains some awesomely repetitive synth chords. Watch the wonderfully silly video below, and go to Exclaim! to read my interview with songwriter Chaz Bundick.

Here’s a little slice of sunshine on this rainy January hump day in Vancouver. “Pineapple” is the new single from local band BESTiE, and it’s a tropical pop number that comes complete with a thematically appropriate music video.

A$AP Rocky – “Goldie”

January 13, 2013

We’re only two weeks into 2013, which means that A$AP Rocky doesn’t have too much competition for the title of the year’s best album so far. I wrote about the excellent LongLiveA$AP for The Tyee.

The video for “Goldie” is below. Be forewarned that there’s some nudity, so don’t accidentally leave it open on your desktop before you give a powerpoint presentation at work.

Mount Eerie – “Ocean Roar”

December 14, 2012

I ranked my favourite albums of the year for this week’s Georgia Straight. The star of the list was Mount Eerie, since Clear Moon and Ocean Roar are my two favourite albums of the year.

Here’s a video for latter’s title track. Sublime.
