Yukon’s Luke Dick makes an appropriately creepy video for his mellowed-out version of “Paparazzi.” Let’s see how many careers this song can launch!
If a fan-made, “unofficial” video is sent out by a PR company, does that make it official? Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’s charming “Simple Girl” has a charming clip that tests the theory.
In just 1:26, Cerebral Ballzy (yes, really) does Las Vegas in true punk style.
Cassettes Won’t Listen’s “Perfect Day” is a head-scratcher till the satisfying end.
Punks Rise Against go all PSA, but because it’s Rise Against, it doesn’t suck.
Rarely is a video so perfectly matched with a song’s sound as with Amor de Dias’ nostalgic video and dreamy acoustic sound.
Zorch’s hyperkinetic, synth-based experimental music makes me want to jump up and down, as well as go back to SXSW, where they played something like 16 shows.
Indie-poppers Mates of States’ new video is vintage in a “are they kidding or not?” sort of way.

“Breakers” – Gem Club. If Iron and Wine had taken up piano … “Shoeboxes” – David Ramirez. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. “Jump with a Child’s Heart” – Annie Crane. I don’t know how so much great country/folk comes out of urban settings. The vocals win here.
To deliver his sparse songs, David Ramirez needs only a guitar, his voice and a place to play — preferably not at a hotel for dogs.
