It seems that longtime TMIM favorite has his own IMDb page now.

It's "I See You Baby," by Groove Armada, from their 1999 album Vertigo . Telling YouTube comment: "Am I the only? one who still doesn't know what the Fuel Band is after watching this video?"

Life Vest Inside has put together a real-time pay it forward spot called "Kindness Boomerang," set to Matisyahu's "One Day" (from the 2009 album Light ). Read more about Life Vest Inside here , and watch the film just below:

It's "Tongue Tied" by Grouplove, from their recent Never Trust A Happy Song . It's insanely catchy, this one, so go stream it at their web site and writhe. Loyal readers may remember when, in June 2010, Patrick and the rest of the TMIM staff showed Grouplove some ... well, you get the idea. Make sure you watch the ad below before you do something crazy like, say, leave . Artist links: facebook | home | myspace | twitter

( email | facebook | twitter ) What's that song on the new Rocksmith spot? It's a pretty choppy edit, but it's clearly "Between The Lines," by Stone Temple Pilots. You heard me. From their self-titled LP #6. Great song, great (ad) message, and what looks like a pretty cool game, to boot. Watch it here. One of these developers needs to market a game for cello, just saying.

HANK ALTOGETHER: At some point we must all have guessed that there was no way Stevens was going to finish the 50 States project. So something was undoubtedly going to catch the prolific songwriter's ear. In this case it's the Brooklyn - Queens Expressway (aka BQE). And in true Sufjan form the piece looks like a gorgeous mesh of melody, harmony, and photography (what? You didn't expect him to stand still did ya?) Interlude I—Dream Sequence in Subi Circumnavigation from Asthmatic Kitty [...]

HANK ALTOGETHER: This one goes out to Chris's crush on Angel Deradoorian.

HANK ALTOGETHER: Vying for the top spot in my most anticipated Sept. releases with Erykah Badu's new one is the Avett Brothers' forthcoming I and Love and You . Over a year ago, they taped "Laundry Room" from the new one for laundromatinee.com, but like all good things, it's only coming to light now. Thanks MOKB .

Everything I love in life in one music video. A good melody, vintage underpants, sepia color filters, balloons.

HANK ALTOGETHER: Who knew Rivers Cuomo had a DVD & EP coming out? Not me. Evidently EW did. They've got a pretty cool vid of Cuomo playing a song I used to scream out my window while growing up in Arkansas. Wherefore art thou Pinkerton ? "El Schorcho" Hootenany style .

HANK ALTOGETHER: I defy you to watch this and not get chills.

HANK ALTOGETHER: Zach's imaginary best friend, Dent May, has put out another fantastic video for a song on his album that apparently only we like.

HANK ALTOGETHER: The official anthem of bearded dudes who wanna be with girls with Zooey Deschanel-esque haircuts.

HANK ALTOGETHER: I wanna see Lightning Bolt live so bad. Mostly it's their documentary The Power of Salad and Milkshake 's fault. Pitchfork.tv is screening it this week. See it here . And buy an extra ticket and a plane ticket and I'll meet you at the show.

I imagine Herman Düne having a drink with Leonard Cohen. Leonard speaks of death and the future, Herman Düne tells jokes with salt and pepper shakers. Leonard Cohen talks of the fall of the Clovis culture and women he loved in the 60s, Herman Düne makes a fart noise. Leonard Cohen and Herman Düne agree to agree.

HANK ALTOGETHER: Said the Gramophone loves Herman Dune as much as I do. So, I was pleased to hear this older track that I didn't have called "Show Me the Roof." It's kind of like Carol King's "Up on the Roof" except it's about fears and friends and general awesomeness. Here's a vid of them doing it life: At some point the video-er gets the idea to whole the camera sideways and it looks like a beard is holding up David Ivar-Herman Dune

HANK ALTOGETHER: Alela Diane makes folk compositions the way that they're supposed to be made -- sinewy, filled with strings, and elegant. Her latest To Be Still has been heavy in the rotation lately and with good reason. If you haven't heard it yet, let this be your first taste.
