http://www.shotsringout.com Music Video Blog Mon, 06 Oct 2008 05:46:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I guess not too many people cared about our two year Mix anniversary last month because I didn't receive a comment or a message to the effect. Sad times. You're lucky my skin is thick and the participation of our reader/listeners isn't what fuels my motivation. Get the October Mix now. (This ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/10/october-mix-for-your-ears/ You should probably go see RocknRolla when it comes out worldwide on October 10th. A couple months back we were nice and gave you the heads up on it. We're here to tell you that we were right to clue you kids in. As per usual, we decided to crash Flux's ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/10/sro-cinema-rocknrolla-guy-ritchie/ In case you haven't checked out the latest issue of Wired, they snuck in a little article (also available online) about music videos coming back into relevance thanks to the internet and the work of some talented directors. The article was penned by Jake Swearingen who picked the brains of ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/10/wired-talked-music-videos-we-talked-to-wired/ I really miss BSS. It's been years since I crushed hard on You Forgot It In People and I'm still not over it. I hope I never do. I also probably miss them because it's been 3 years since they've put out a proper release, instead busying themselves with supporting ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/live-bss-stars-and-sons-juans-basement/ This week in 2008, CSS came to SoCal for the week and you know that was all us at SRO needed to go out and party. Damn if our favorite Brazilians didn't kill it once again either. They were even smart enough to play the 4 good/decent songs off Donkey ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/css-rat-is-dead-nima-nourizadeh-left-behind-renata-abbade-move-keith-schofield/ I was introduced to Low Vs. Diamond as the band Colored Shadows on a 2 song CD single that was handed to me outside the Troubadour in West LA sometime in 2006. My cohort James later told me it was the best free CD he had ever gotten...and he was ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/low-vs-diamond-heart-attack-marc-klasfeld/ I've always liked Max Tundra. His album Mastered By Guy At The Exchange snuck in under the hype-radar back in 2002 (not really sure that hype had a radar back then). His brand of quirky synth pop reminded me of a more wordy and less structured BS2000. His sound is ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/max-tundra-will-get-fooled-again-woof-wan-bau/ Don't know if you grew up at the same time I did, but when I was a kid, these videos played ALL THE TIME on MTV. I remember staying at my grandparents house the summer of 94' when the 'Black Hole Sun' video came out, and since being at your ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/nirvana-stone-temple-pilots-soundgarden-remember-these-videos/ An amazing thing happened the other day, I actually laughed at something Pitchfork wrote. This one also has dancing cops and TVOTR members' heads morphing into woodland critters', but I think we'll know a real "Golden Age" when science give us a version of this video with better audio quality. It's ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/tv-on-the-radio-golden-age-petro-papahadjopoulos/ Hey remember The Sea and Cake? Yeah we do too and are happy that they are still making music. They had an album out last year called Everybody and are looking to make more of a comeback with Car Alarm due later this month. 'Weekend' is the new single off ... http://www.shotsringout.com/2008/09/the-sea-cake-weekend-tim-sutton/
