Burial by Miike Snow
A band from Sweden currently burning up the blogosphere. Did they really take a film crew and their jackalope to India to shoot this? A great video:
You saved my life by Cass McCombs
The dyi clip matches the pace of the tune as a slowed down McCombs passes many beer-pitcher swilling 20-somethings (including, I couldn't help but notice, mothers and mothers-to-be) in a Chi-town square.
Pon de floor by Major Lazer
An energetic dance floor number recorded in Jamaica and featuring the creative, explosive sounds of, yes, marching-band drummers. The video is a bit off-putting and Not-Suitable-For-Anything really. It contains repeated displays of a bizarre new-fangled Jamaican dance style known as “daggering” which, unfortunately, has to be seen to be believed. The fact it takes place in the Blues Clues house does little to make it a comfortable viewing.

In the NA by The Hidden Cameras
Their song titles may not be as convoluted and strange as Of Montreal but.... what the hell is a NA? New album "Origin:Orphan" to be released September 22, 2009.
Warm in the shadows by Music Go Music
There is a reason why pop songs average 3 and a half minutes in length - short attention spans of listeners. “Warm in the shadows”, by 70’s revivalists Music Go Music, pretty much defies this logic at nine plus minutes of goodness.

Hey, you're back! And making up for lost time. Yay!
You Saved My Life: That's Lincoln Square, during what looks like Oktoberfest...we'll definitely take you there (it's where Quake is). Oddly, Oktoberfest is actually in September, so you'll miss that, I'm afraid. And those twinkly little squares...so pretty...sadly, I can't promise you that either. ;)
I liike the Miike Snow. If only he would come to Chicago so I could see him/them live...
No idea what/where NA is, but I like this idea exterior decorating.
And I'm sorry to say that Max wandered in during Pon de Floor and gave it a very quizzical look. ????
