glenn wool

old video

So I was checking today to see if Glenn Wool had returned from LA in the hope that he was doing shows in London again. Alas, he hasn't so I had to go and find this video. He starts off a little slow but once he hits the 4 minute mark he's absolutely on fire.

This guy is very funny indeed.

dan rossen

new video


You may already know that the only way that I could love Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles more was if they suddenly became Radiohead - obviously that isn't going to happen so I'll just have to be content with my huge man crush on all of them!

This is Dan Rossen (of both bands) covering JoJo's 'Too Little, Too Late' for the New Yorker's Valentine's Day event in DUMBO at the request of Grizzly Bear bandmate, and pop fanatic, Ed Droste.

It is pretty damn great. This'll be stuck in your head for days!

(more) radiohead

old video



I have recently reacquainted myself with the glorious 'Kid A' album and in particular these two tracks. These videos are taken from their Saturday Night Live performance from around the time of the record's release and... well... just watch.

My oh my.
