We've got a lot of love for Annie Clark's latest album as St. Vincent , Strange Mercy , and the more we can get of her the better. So it's exciting news that she will be teaming up with comedy duo Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein on their sketch parody show Portlandia . Thanks to her interview with Exclaim! , we know her inclusion got started when she "heard from them in the past month or so, when I was out in L.A., and they said [...]
It must be tough to find good fits to open for tUnE-yArDs now that Merrell Garbus et. al. have made the leap to sellout headliners. tUnE-yArDs' music shares little kinship with prevailing indie rock tropes, and not just because Garbus doesn't bother with guitars, or that she doesn't bother with a stringency of structure. Other bands may be composing poems (if they're lucky). Garbus is, in a very particular sense, writing sonnets. So perhaps Prussia were as good a pairing as one can expect. A bunch of boys with guitars, they did [...]
Hello, hello my lovelies! Welcome back to more collections of videos from previous weeks, with this Friday's picks getting a little abstract with Is Tropical, Wise Blood and My Brightest Diamond .

Get led astray by origami in Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's abstractly-themed video for "Maniac." Hooray! They brought it back to life with sparklers and mud dancing!
Radiation City's forthcoming album The Hands That Take You is coming out September 27, but Portlanders get a chance to experience their new music live this coming Saturday, September 24 at Doug Fir. Sway and shimmy to their earthy tones and MoTown vibe as seen in the above track, "The Color of Industry." And while this is a minimalist acoustic session, get a feel for Radiation City's energy with their rooftop performance of "LA Beach." See ya Saturday, suckers!
After getting our blood pumping at MFNW, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are back to get you hyped for their fall tour with "Make the Money." Sticking with his theme of genuine introspection, Macklemore spits about staying true to yourself and keeping up your self-esteem while also getting washed up in the tidal wave of fame. Get down to the beat while checking out their gigs below. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 2011 Tour Dates: 11/04 Olympia, WA @ Capitol Theater 11/16 Bellingham, WA @ Mt. Baker [...]
Nevermind turned 20 this year, and people all over are commemorating the occasion in their own special ways. Previously we told you about how "A Brief History of Rebellion" is playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 144 different ways live , and now you can take another live experience with you that celebrates Nirvana's sophomore album. Last night, Deertick briefly changed their name to Deervana and played an entire set of covers at Northside Festival. Done previously at SXSW and Bonnaroo, this show was rumored to be the [...]
Asobi Seksu pair fire and ice with erogenous zones in their video for "Perfectly Crystal." The misty layering of images is dizzying, but overall pretty as a cupcake.

You can stream and download the former here and stream the latter below. Keep your eyes peeled for future shows! "Dead Wrong" [...]
In light of the closing of Levi's Film Workshop, No Age teamed up with the international pants company to make a video for "Inflorescence" full of cowboys, art, making out, Mariachi music and Levi's. It's NSFW if your boss doesn't like two guys showing some love.
Shot on September 13 at the Santa Barbara Bowl, the below video captures The Walkmen's premiere of a brand new track, "Your Southern Heart." Slow and loaded with twangy vocals, hopefully you can catch this track live during their remaining tour dates.

It was a guarantee that The Shins would sell out their run of club shows this September. It's been some time since they have played intimate venues, a treat that has fans clamoring to hear Mercer's new material and backing band. But we went all gobsmacked as Faces on Film was announced as the opener for these shows. Just seeing them solo would bring us to The Paradise this weekend, and it makes you want to start walking down Commonwealth looking to scalp some tickets. We'll be there, and so should you. [...]

Created by frontwoman Yukimi Nagano's father Yusuke Nagano, this vibrantly animated video for "Brush The Heat" is a vivid addition to Little Dragon's collection. The eye at the two-minute mark would make a gorgeous tattoo.
Dropped this past weekend on soundcloud, White Denim's "Hot Thought" is a D b-side with its own spotlight four months after the album's release. It's a little cheesy and a tad saccharine, but the compelling percussion and smooth guitar riffs make this an excellent on-the-go single. Download it here and keep your eyes peeled for tour dates!
