Passion Pit - Carried Away
Actually, I have no business offering you new music videos after being absent from the game for so long (I've been doing nothing but grading tests and eating Christmas cookies, I assure you).  So let's treat this like an audition, or a taste sampling.  And if you don't see anything you like,  you can say [...]

Video: Free Energy — “Girls Want Rock”

Jan 26, 4:19pm The Wounded Jukebox
Free Energy - Girls Want Rock (Official Video)
There’s a strict dichotomy when it comes to constructing a music video: aspiring to accomplish a clip that perfectly captures the song in a way that it’s indelibly written into your brain (when I heard about Sandy Hook, I instantly thought of those haunting freeze-frame moments from the final moments of Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy”), and [...]

Bruno Mars: “Locked Out Of Heaven (The M Machine Remix)”

Jan 19, 4:42pm The Wounded Jukebox
Awhile back, we posted The M Machine's remix of Passion Pit's "Take A Walk," with its pulsing, aggressive beat and downright awesome chop-and-locking. The duo have now taken on one of the newer forces in pop music, Bruno Mars - he did a pretty bang-up job on Saturday Night Live recently, I thought - and [...]

Mary Lynn: Familiar Things & Places

Jan 19, 2:18pm The Wounded Jukebox
When Mary Lynn, aka Mary Lynn Glocekle sings "I did a terrible thing," I'm not sure if I believe her. Because honestly, how could anyone who makes music this endearing do terrible things? And yet conversely, when she pleads "Please forgive me" elsewhere on her debut record Familiar Things & Places, I'm compelled to accept [...]

Juliette Commagere: “What We Get”

Jan 18, 5:27pm The Wounded Jukebox
Let's pretend this new song by LA's Juliette Commagere is a drifting, passing leaf, crossing your path while you're walking home from work.  "What We Get" is a beautiful example of harmony, accruing and gaining more and more as the song plays on.  But just as you focus on it, "What We Get," begins to blow [...]

Haim: “Send Me Down (Dan Lissvik Remix)”

Jan 14, 12:12am The Wounded Jukebox
If you'll remember way way wayyyyyyy back to 2012, you'll recall that the sisterly So-Cal trio known as Haim cracked into my picks for the best songs of 2012. Well, the group also released another single - one not included on their excellent Forever EP - called "Don't Save Me," and this catchy little tune [...]

Phil Beaudreau: “Spark”

Jan 13, 6:25pm The Wounded Jukebox
Phil Beaudreau is a hybrid in many senses of the word. First, Beaudreau is a talented singer and songwriter. And he is also a producer with a knack for composition that's caught the attention of some of his multi-platinum selling peers. Beaudreau moved from violin to trumpet as his specialty while attending the Berklee College [...]

Lapland: “Unwise”

Jan 13, 3:51pm The Wounded Jukebox
(photo by Susan Pittard) If ever there was just a blatantly obvious ploy to feed your ears candy, and get them all fattened up on sugary harmonies and ambient drifting clouds of audio goodness, "Unwise" by Brooklyn's Lapland is the even more obvious version of it.  Josh Mease has mastered the art of transporting himself outside [...]

Moddi: “House By The Sea”

Jan 13, 2:36pm The Wounded Jukebox
(photo by Siv Johanne Seglem) It's absolutely possible that the landscape of Norway is the reason so many great musicians hail from the country.  They're constantly surrounded by two extremes; aching beauty or frigid isolation/invitations to go explore or machinations to hibernate alone with your thoughts.  And if it's not fist-crunching Death Metal, then it's echoing, [...]

King Krule: “Rock Bottom”

Jan 8, 8:05pm The Wounded Jukebox
King Krule - Rock Bottom (Official Music Video)
When I'm feeling especially sassy and downtrodden, I turn to the music of England, where the people are best known for their stylish rain jumpers and fancy tea dippers.  But the tunes they make tend to be deliciously moody and similarly sassy; Exhibit A being King Krule, and his song "Rok Bah'um", translated to North American [...]

Paige Chaplin: “Creep” (Radiohead Cover)

Jan 6, 7:02pm The Wounded Jukebox
Radiohead lived in irony for a while when they released "Creep" in 1992.  It was all over the radio, and MTV, and VH1 and all the music outlets of the time, lauded as a great Pop tune.  But lyrically, it's a man drowning in misery.  Boston native Paige Chaplin has a voice perfect for highlighting [...]

Dan Croll: “From Nowhere”

Dan Croll - From Nowhere (official video)
“The Jamwich.” That’s how this song was introduced to me last month when a friend shared it on Spotify.  Never one to ignore a good pun, I gave it a listen.  Repeated it again.  And immediately again. By play number five, I realized that the nickname was not only clever, but 100% accurate. Dan Croll, [...]

Reptar - Water Runs
Here I am, left to go last once again with my favorite songs of the year. I feel as though I listened to more in 2012 than in any other year, and my musical experience was all the better for it. More music means more candidates, which admittedly makes lists like this one tougher. But [...]
