The Avett Brothers - "Slight Figure Of Speech"

Song of the Day: Animal Collective - "What Would I Want? Sky"
"'Sky' is probably one of the more legible, straightforward pieces of music the band has released, and is also among the most immediately appealing: three minutes of lightly overdriven drum breaks and vocal lines dissolve into three minutes of high-gloss folk-pop. The guitars are audible, the percussion is recognizable. They probably could've made it easier to bob your head to; instead, they put it in a tricky time signature that feels like the meter infants learn to walk in."

- Mike Powell (P4K)

James P. Honey & Roma - "Nice Clean White"

"This music video is an abstract journey in our everyday surroundings, illustrating moments of life in a continuous way.

A trip into 4500 still photographs, a travel where urban landscapes meet pastoral scenes to create a whirlpool around the theme of the video: the subjective point of view and urban life.

This video was created with a stop motion technique, it was conceived with a very simple Nikon Coolpix E4600. There is no video in it, but not less than 4500 still photos taken in the streets of Nancy and Epinal (France)." - DaBrainkilla
