People, they are so good. That scream at 2:33 was unexpected and awesome.
Video
Rotting – MISFIRE
Very small artist I just found. Video filmed on actual 16mm. Nice song.
Hazel English – Gimme
I am so stoked that shoegaze and dream pop made an unlikely return. There is so much of it around now!
What I want to know is where she found that old TWA plane and infra? They’ve been kaput since 2001.
MCMXIV – Ratboys
Fun song.
Julia from Ratboys reminds me of Marisa Tomei. They look nothing alike, but they both have very happy faces.
Solann – Les Voleurs D’Eau
Ça c’est un setup de percus de ouf. Super reprise, et sa tenue est grave classe et trop belle.
Anastasia Coope – Cradle Sun
Now this is the weirdo crap I really love.
Cribbo – Happy
Nice song; a very small artist I found this eve.
Bella White – Gutted (Live)
What cool and unusual phrasing.
Jewels and Niles
This is the most 1985 thing ever. I remember when this video came on MTV 10 times a day. If you’re wondering why Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas are, anomalously, backup singers, the song was in the movie the Jewel of the Nile; it’s a promo for that film.
You know, at the time, I never really saw the appeal of Kathleen Turner. The big-haired blonde look is just not my thing. But she has a very fun personality in that video and looks quite nice in that white tux, I have to admit.
This feels like 1985 felt. Understandably. But it’s more “of the era” than most. It has the casual zaniness. The sense of fun that’s missing now. And no Instagram face. I wouldn’t go back; around 1985 is when my life started to get extremely shitty. But it feels like such a foreign land now.
Phoebe Bridgers – I Know The End (Live)
A more goth Phoebe Bridgers. ✅
A rare blonde goth Phoebe Bridgers. 🤩
Great performance of an amazing song. 🎉
One camera, no cuts, flawless cinematography in challenging, changing conditions. 🎥
Folks, we have a complete win here tonight. 🏆
(That’s not a super-long mic cord. It’s a long-range wireless setup and the cord is connected to a sending unit that’s at her back. Had to be a big one to get wireless to go to that far.)
Jaguar Glass – Zombie Ants
A very small artist with a cool sound.
Anna of the North – I Don’t Know What You See In Me
This cover is a lot better than the Belle & Sebastian original.
Snocaps – Coast
Nice song. I thought the woman with long hair (I guess they are twins?) was Katie Crutchfield when I first saw her at that low res.
Update: That is Katie Crutchfield! Doesn’t sound like her normal singing voice though.
ROZA – Tiens L’Océan
Chanson simple et fun. Et putain, ses cheveux ! Trop beaux, mais j’ai pas envie d’imaginer la galère pour entretenir ça.
