Minus The Bear's video for "Throwin' Shapes" includes air basketball, dangerously short shorts, and two outsiders drawn together by their completely annoying habits and demeanors.
We were sorta hoping they'd fall off the roof. Here, take the song with you when you go out and terrorize the neighborhood:

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,...

sounds like juno with air basketball
Score = 0
That is a pretty great song, but that video is like watching a hipster film student project, armed only with an american apparel gift card and 24 hours to complete. nice vests though.
Score = 0
that last scene was brutal.

How unfitting for that song. It's not even funny. Shame, they're a great band. I don't really care about music videos anyways though, there aren't a whole lot of good ones being made now, to my knowledge.

I don't get it.

It's nice to see the Bear go funny. Too many artsy fartsy videos out there. I like it. I mean, it's air-basketball. What's not to like? I saw a Band of Horses video that had some chick stealing pillows and then there was a pillow fight. I didn't get that one. This one, I got.
Score = 0
great band. i feel like they have a lot of potential to be much bigger. i think they get grouped in with a lot of bands not half as good as them
Score = 0
This reminded me a lot of Groove Fighters on Channel101.com (only not as funny)
