Anyway, the usual letdown that is Subterranean was on last night, and after sitting through 50 minutes of snooze time — surprise, suprise — they decided to sneak in a little premier (I’m ignoring the Bjork premiere and the Tori Amos video was horrid. She actual spells out MILF, more than once!). Nicole Atkins’ video for “Neptune City” is a delightful, artsy and animated flick by David Sutton who works for Frantic Studios. Looking into Mr. Sutton past is a cloudy venture at best, and for all my digging I can’t really tell you anything about him. Whatever his history may be, he’s done an amazing job on this project, layering gritty still images of long gone days and coupling them with video cut-outs of Atkins, while a zooming/tilting camera makes an illusion of movement. A job well done and a video worth sitting through. Check it out.

“Zach and I spoke on the phone and I asked him: ‘Zach, who is singing the song?’ and he said ‘a safari hunter’. That’s how it started.” - Alma Har’el
We were right! Sexy AND Foreign is the way that Zach Condon (aka: Beirut) and Alma Har’el took us, and good god are we glad they did! Lucky (again) for you that we worked our magic and actually snagged Mrs. Har’el for a bit and delved into her head in order to find out the on-goings both inside and outside of the frame. The interview we danced away with is in-depth (we don’t fuck around here) so we split it up for your benefit and will bring forth the second part next week. In the meantime, take the weekend to study up on the video a few times, show the kids, read the interview and get ready for round two where we discuss getting in the mood, mixing work and play at the beach, and underage drinking? The plot thickens…

Thanks to
Fader for getting the following shots off the set of
Lavender Diamond’s shot for “Open Your Heart”. I highly doubt it has anything to do with Madonna’s version, but that would be terribly interesting if you asked me. It seems to be a happy affair that could be the rival to Feist’s “
1234” shot for most color friendly video of the year. Go check out the
song and add it to your
myspace profile before it lands on Grey’s Anatomy or a Target commercial. Check out a few more pics over at
Fader.com and tell them we sent you. They’ll take it from there.

Now that you’ve tried to make it on our site with a homemade shot for The Decemberists, Modest Mouse, and The Hold Steady, this marks your 4th try, this time for Bjork! [Pitchfork]

Sweden’s official feel good group, the
Shout Out Louds ((Fun Fact: Did you know that the band was originally to be called
Luca Brasi ! A free canoli to whoever gets that reference!)) are finally set to bring smiles to the masses this year, with new release
Our Ill Wills, and to kick things off they’ve joined
Marrdest Mouse and (shudder)
Blue October by going down that ever so popular nautical road. And from the looks of things, that road is beginning to get jammed and downright ugly, so becareful all of you directors out there, give the marine life a break for awhile. ((Remember, two’s company, three’s a crowd.)) Conveniently enough, this falls somewhere in between both of those shots as we are treated by director/band bassist Ted Malmros to his mockumentary thesis on “leaving-and coming back.”

Ahhh, now we’re talking. May 1st marks the release of another new LP by one of SRO’s favorite drrty rockers
BRMC. Under the
Baby 81 title, the men in black have already begun flexing their R&B muscles with the fitting first single “Weapon of Choice”.
