Vedera Covers MGMT
Thursday, May 14th, 2009
I had almost written Vedera (ex-Veda) off as a mediocre pop rock outfit after I started hearing songs off their latest Stages EP. I missed the days when they sounded like a crystalline and polished piece of pop craft, but still managing to feel personal. This recent MGMT cover reminds me of those days. The song floats whimsically like the original yet almost gives a different interpretation.
Vedera will be on tour with Coldp–err, The Fray, this summer.
Enjoy…
Vedera – Weekend Wars (MGMT Cover)

Kata’s Favorite Music Videos of 2008
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008
Björk – Wanderlust: Officially my favorite. The rest are in no order whatsoever. Anyway, I bought the massive LP for this single, which came with it’s own 3D glasses for the ‘enhanced’ version.
Chad VanGaalen – Molten Light: Super bizarre but simply incredible.
She & Him – Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?: You couldn’t find a cuter music video.
Radiohead – House of Cards: Gorgeous. They never cease to push the boundaries of art.
The Mae Shi – Run to Your Grave: Crazy video for an even crazier band.
Weezer – Pork & Beans: If you didn’t enjoy this video, then what the hell are you doing on a computer?
Portishead – We Carry On: Wow…just, wow.
Girl Talk – Play Your Part (Part 1): Not official (as far as I know) but perfectly cut.
Flying Lotus – Parisian Goldfish: This video below contains some explicit cartoon scenes, flashing lights and is FOR OVER 18’s ONLY. I repeat, not work friendly…however, on so many levels of awesome.
Beyonce – Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It): It makes me wanna get up shake my booty…well, maybe not, but fun nonetheless.
Justice – Stress: Violent and fucked up, therefore making it an amazing video by my standards.
WORST MUSIC VIDEO
MGMT – The Youth: Just utter garbage…ugh!
Best Music Video I Can’t Show You
Sigur Rós – Gobbledigook: Click the picture to be taken to where you can watch it. It’s brilliant.
