Earlier this year we shined a light Swedish pop outfit the LK and their electro lovely, wintry gem "Stop Being Perfect." Had we known the band had a side project sooner, we probably would have written sooner. Instead, we came...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual...

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...

That made my day. However I have a strange desire to hug a tree or a fish.

i love grandaddy too but i'm not a big fan of furries and happiness. it was however a pretty good video for what it is. It reminded me of the song "Happiness Pie" from the kids in the hall movie "Brain Candy".

EEEEE HEEEE HEEE HEEEE!!! That made me giggle with foolish glee. Might even be better than the Bjork cute/creepy cat video you posted awhile back.

Grandaddy is a fine band, but I've noticed a disturbing trend in that their videos seem to continually borrow liberally from domain that seems to be well staked out by The Flaming Lips. A while ago they released the song Now Its On which featured a video involving a lot of things wrapped in christmas lights which echoed of the Lips video for Turn It On (also notice the similarity in the title). This most recent video involves people dancing around in animal costumes, a well-known feature of Flaming Lips live performances and recent videos. I'm not trying to shit on Grandaddy, and I realize that nobody has patents on christmas lights and furries, but nobody can possibly hope to pull off the Lips schtick quite like Wayne Coyne and company, so why try?

uhhh no, that song was cheesy. If you want a great video with breakdancing furry types, try DJ Format: http://www.ruben.fm/format.html

maybe they'll have a kickball game against animal collective.

this song was a let down for me. repetition isn't always good.

After seeing the CSI ep all about furries ("Fur and Loathing" -- all hail Jerry Stahl, whose CSI eps are always filled with deviant sex and/or drugs), I really couldn't watch this video without feeling a little squick.
