6. Alizee, One of my favourite sites is www.fark.com it’s a collection of weird and funny stuff from all over the world. You submit a link and hope it gets picked for the general public. Cuzoogle has been on it, but for the first time one of the videos I picked got selected and here it is. (One of my guilty pleasures is French pop singers.)
5. Jens Lekman, Back in the 80’s my brother and sister and I would sit in the back seat of our parent’s car and make fun of Paul Simon lyrics. We just didn’t get how brilliant they were. Now I get them and appreciate it when others do too.
4. Blitzen Trapper, Another appearance by a band I’ve just recently been turned on to. I love their sound (perfect road music) and this video is way better than their previous efforts, it reminds me of Terry Gilliam’s style of animation.
3. The Foals, I like bands that I can picture most of my friends dancing to and if you believe videos, like I do, girls will love this song. Serious fun.
2. Pela, These guys are Brooklyn’s answer to the Arcade Fire. If they sound familiar it’s probably because you watch Scrubs. I don’t do that anymore, it’s like M*A*S*H* when they got too preachy.
1.The Fiery Furnaces, These guys had huge buzz a while ago, I picked up the album and just didn’t get it. Shades of Paul Simon because I do now. Very cool tempo changes. Great video, reminds me of taking the ferry to P.E.I. and praying I didn’t fall in.

6. Bruce Springsteen and Arcade Fire, I have already emailed this clip around, but it’s too cool not to be included in the Pix. Pretty good audio quality, but horrible camera work and so many nerdgasms.
5. Cuthbert and the Nightwalkers, This band came as a recommendation from a friend of a friend who checked out the Pix recently. And everyone knows I’m an attention whore who appreciates cool tunes. They are from Australia and their new album comes out soon…sing along.
4. Blitzen Trapper, Another recent discovery, they played here a while ago, but I missed them. It’s really fun music, but what a jumbled video. On their MySpace, they list Neil Young and the Dukes of Hazard as influences.
3. Vincent Vincent and the Villains, Someone described these guys to me as “lounge punk”, so I had to check them out. Love the video, but their other tunes are a lot better…
2. New Young Pony Club, I guess new wave never went away…I hear Blondie, Duran Duran and the Talking Heads in this track. Also, the video reminds me of my brother, sister and I amusing (and hurting) each other with household items when the parents weren’t around.
1.Band of Horses, This is one of my favourite bands I’ve heard in the last two years. This is their new video off their new album. Beware people in hoodies at night…and pillow fights.
