On MySpace’s “Front to Back” Ben Fold Five reunites to perform The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. Plus, Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla sits down for a chat. It will be interesting to see what sort of line ups the super-power MySpace chooses to showcase on this new “Front to Back” series. It could be an opportunity to give some new artists some much needed exposure or they could stick to the… well… Ben Folds and Death Cab’s of the music realm.
See the vid after the jump.
So you like Rocket From The Crypt, or maybe Hot Snakes, then it’s time to check out The Night Marchers (if you haven’t already). We just got word that they have a nice little offer from Vagrant Records right now for their newest release, See You In Magic, and a T-Shirt for just 10 bucks. (Link to get it.)
Free MP3: I Wanna Deadbeat You
UPDATE: Ok, after the jump, the vid for “I Wanna Deadbeat You”.
November 4th is so far away… and if you, like myself, need to get your voting jollies off sooner, try to think of someone less attractive, or a sports game, or unattractive people playing sports. And if that doesn’t work, vote for music videos! A tip of the hat and a respectful nod is due when things are done well. No Age deserves such gesture-cred with their video for “Eraser.” From Sub Pop:”Dean and Randy from No Age have been nominated in the “Left Field” category of the mtvU Woodie Awards for their awesome video for ‘Eraser’.” “Awesome” is spot on, anyone who gets doused with flour and rocks the guitar gets dubbed “awesome.” Your voice can be heard, Power to the People!!! Vote now.

The New Pornographers have just released a fun new vid for “Mutiny, I Promise You,” from the oh-so-good Challengers album. Directed by Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal, the video… um.. err… well the band summarizes it best: “Fortunately we think it’s pretty timeless. It has pretty much everything you could ask for: Cardboard, Knives, Guns, and Unicorns. We think it’s a hit, but just watch and see!” I know it meets my criteria for timelessness (if it had a dragon it would be batting 1,000), you can decide for yourself by checking it out yonder: http://www.thenewpornographers.com/video/
If only the VMA’s would pull their heads out of T.I.’s ass…
