Some more music videos

Thought I'd share some more favorite music/videos for a number of reasons. One, I've been thinking about the group Delta Spirit. I like them a lot and they recently released a new album. I was hoping to make it to their concert tomorrow night but alas, life got in the way yet again. They did a takeaway show for La Blogotheque with several songs but these two are my favorites:



Wouldn't you take public transportation more if there were live musical performances? I would. That would be awesome.

Here's a song off of the new album. The new album is different from previous ones. I like it even though it is very different from their first two albums. Far more modern sounding and not as dominated by Matt Vasquez's voice. That being said, it sort of sounds like lots of other groups. Maybe it's not so awful I'm not making the concert.



Then I came across this outstanding cover of Hall and Oates' I Can't Go For That by Nikki Bluhm and the Gramblers:



That got me thinking about "live" videos which I can't think of without thinking of Airborne Toxic Event and their eight week acoustic series.  And since I was already thinking of van performances, why not another fine one?



Lastly I'll go old school with my favorite MTV Unplugged song. A Letter for Elise by the Cure. Love the toy piano.

Some wacked new music videos

Rather than struggle with defining whatever it is that Tinted Windows should be under as far as genre goes, I went and bought a new album, one that needs no definition of genre because they are the genre (or at least spawned it).

Like that favorite meal (which may have included bacon and eggs) or a nice bath, Depeche Mode's new album, Sounds of the Universe is comforting in its familiarity. Perhaps not as dark lyrically or musically - the synthesizers seem more sparse than in previous albums (and I might be imagining that)- but still very typical. Dave Gahan's voice is the same. A good album and one that should appeal to Depeche Mode fans.

If the music isn't as dark, they made up for it with the video for the song Wrong:
Depeche Mode - "Wrong" (official music video)


Kidnapping always makes a good story line for a music video. Uh....yeah.

Delta Spirit goes one better with their new video, including a murder.



La Blogotheque also did a takeaway show with Delta Spirit which was pretty cool. You can check that out here.
Fantastic set of performances and no one gets killed.
