Generationals, who I'm ecstatic about coming on Friday to the Grog Shop, have a new video for Put a Light On. Lord Huron's video lives up to their sound with Lonesome Dreams. Finally, another The Oh Sees video, which is not quite as… sexy(?) as the last one, but worth it.
Bonus, yet another The Oh Sees (boy these guys work fast). Mass murder? Impressive video, but sheesh.
If you're unfamiliar, this is the old HiFi location in Lakewood. I'm actually very excited because 1.) I've been enjoying Stepdad since their last album and have been missing their shows, and 2.) I've never been to this venue - or it's previous iteration. Sure a Sunday night show sucks, but these combined has me excited!
Cellar Door Announces Show/Live Filming For New Video Series | Cellar Door Cleveland
"April 2, 2013 – CLEVELAND – After a sold out two-night Cleveland music festival with Cellar Door Rendezvous in March, Cellar Door is taking it down a notch in size, but certainly not in vision.
‘Anatomy Of A Song’ is a new video series from Cellar Door highlighting live, intimate, stripped down solo performances from Cleveland musicians along with their stories behind the songs. On April 26th at the Cellar Door performance space, the audience will be treated to an evening of discussions and performances among five songwriters of different musical backgrounds in Cleveland: Michael LoPresti (singer/guitarist for indie/folk band Lighthouse and the Whaler), Jenna Fournier (singer/guitarist of space/prog/indie band Nights), Rob Duskey (solo artist and leader of Rob Duskey and the Rounders), Max Stern (singer/guitarist for indie rock band Signals Midwest), and Erin Kapferer (piano/vocals, performs as Noon).
Instead of separate sets, all five artists will be onstage together for a two and a half hour program, taking turns talking about and then performing their songs in their original stripped down form. The entire evening will be filmed; individual episodes of ‘Anatomy of a Song’ highlighting each artist will premiere on cellardoorcle.com over the course of the following weeks.
‘Today’s culture is so focused on content.’ Cellar Door co-owner Justin Markert said. ‘Whether it’s Bluray DVD commentaries, following along on Twitter while you watch TV, or following Tiffani Amber Thiessen on Instagram- people are hungry for more info. With the ‘Anatomy Of A Song’ video series, we’ll be able to satisfy that hunger on a local level.’
Tickets can be purchased online starting today here. And more details can be found at our Facebook event page here."

Quite the follow up to the first video by Junip, off their new album OUT TODAY! Akron/Family's has a handsy new video for Until the Morning. Finally, lightening things up a bit with a video of the ever-charming Eleanor Friedberger.
Bonus: I couldn't be happier to see the lovely Vandaveer with an epic old west video for Pretty Polly.
Some great new pop/electronic music from Odeza, with some sweet videos and a FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD! Say I told you so.
The more vinyl I've been collecting, the more I want to dust off my old Delicious app and start doing so… Looks like I have a reason to wait a little longer.

Delicious Library 3 is coming soon, and it apparently will have some pretty rad new functionality: a recommendation engine, and a corresponding iOS app."

(and this whole time I've been feeling so cool for still have the original, quickly pulled iOS app)
This video is oddly intriguing, esp. being a WWF fan growing up… I've been thoroughly enjoying Cleveland's own Herzog and was excited to see a couple of guys working under the moniker Expecting Rain. More audio below…
Expecting Rain Releases New Music Video | Scene and Heard: Scene's News Blog
Expecting Rain - 'Fuck the World' Expecting Rain released a new music video today for the song 'DMT' off the band's November 2012 album Fuck the World. The entire album can be streamed online. 'DMT' as a song is laid-back and rather sublime. And as a video backdrop, the unexpected foil of NWA wrestling works surprisingly well. Bliss can often be found in the most unexpected places in life, it would seem.
About two-thirds through the song, the heavens open up and the guitar brings the listener into another layer of the atmosphere altogether.
Nick Tolar and Tony Vorrell have collaborated together under the umbrella of Expecting Rain for year now. They also dabble in noted power pop band Herzog.
Check out the video below."

You're in for a treat this week. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this new Sin Fang song & video for Young Boys. Next is a stunning new track from Cat Power for Manhattan. Finally a gorgeous song by Phosphorescent.
Bonus this week is a video (or song) I wasn't really expecting to like. Honestly, from what I've experience of Frank Ocean so far, I've been largely uninterested - but with this video there's hope.
This is the first time I've actually *seen* Foxygen. I've been enjoying their 60's inspired We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, also I'll be seeing them at Pitchfork again this year. But I wasn't expecting for them to star in the most awkward La Blogotheque that I've ever seen. Stealing & scaring children?? Where's the Peace? :-)
