Mazzy Star- Halah
Mazzy Star has a new album out Seasons of Your Day. My favorite is still their first album, She Hangs Brightly, which the song above is from. The band is probably best known for the song “Fade Into You”, from their second album, which was used in pretty much everything.
They are playing at The Wiltern tonight (11/7).
Night Terrors of 1927- Dust and Bones
This song seems destined to be played incessantly on the radio in the near future. It sounds like a lot of other indie pop songs, but that isn’t always a bad thing.
A very good thing about this band- free shows. Tonight (and every Monday in November) they are playing The Echo free with RSVP
Ministry- Everyday is Halloween
This fan made video is a great collection of horror movie clips- especially at 3:13 when the dancing montage begins.
Happy Halloween!
Lou Reed- Perfect Day
One of my favorite songs. Lou Reed died yesterday at 71. RIP.

Animal Collective- My Girls

The Pharcyde- Drop
Another innovative video from Spike Jonze. The Pharcyde memorized the song in reverse so it would sync with the backwards video. From 1995, it also has some great shots of downtown Los Angeles and a cameo from Ad Rock and Mike D of the Beastie Boys.
