Pretty cool photo of Paramore and british You Me at Six.

Watch new Sigur Rós music video

Sigur Rós revealed another music video as part of their ongoing Valtari Mistery Film Experiment. The band has decided to give dozen film makers the same budget and ask them to make video which will capture their feelings during listening to Valtari. Interesting thing is that they have given complete freedom to these film makers. Fans can also vote, which video is the best.

Video called "Seraph" is the ninth video. It was made by Dash Shaw (comic book artist) and John Cameron Mitchell (cult film director). It features snippets of Valtari tracks "Rembihnútur" and "Ekki Múkk".

The video is pretty wild because it features a lot of depressing and gritty surrealism. You can watch it below.

You can also watch all other videos entitled "Ég anda" 1, "Ég anda" 2, "Varúð" 1, "Varúð" 2, "Fjögur píanó", "Rembihnútur", "Varðeldur" and "Dauðalogn" via the website mentioned above.

According to that website, next video is coming on September 24 and I will definitely inform you about  it right after it comes out.

Song of the day: The XX - "Angels"

The XX released their sophomore album entitled Coexist earlier this month. They continued with their minimalistic sound based on both female and male vocals accompanied by simple guitar and bass on this record.

They are set to go on north american tour in support of their latest effort. You can check all their tour dates here.

They also stopped by and played at this year's Bestival, which took place at the Robin Hill country park on the Isle of Wight, England on 6-9 September. You can check performance of Coexist's opener -"Angels", from this festival below.

Picture of the day: September 12, 2012

This picture was posted by Lou Reed via his Facebook with caption "Sectioned" yesterday (September 11). It is a reaction on lawsuit over iconic cover of Velvet Underground's debut album Velvet Underground & Nico, which came out in 1967.

Lou Reed and John Cale initiated that their band should own the copyright to this famous picture instead of Andy Warhol Foundation. However, judge recently threw this claim out.

So the argument about trademarks continues because there is a lot of money in it - the album is celebrating its 45th anniversary and for this occasion six-disc album is set to be released as well as iPhone and iPad accessories.

I think this whole situation is just ridiculous and I think that both Andy Warhol Foundation and Velvet Underground should own the copyright for this picture.

Here is the original cover of the album:

Song of the day: Lana Del Rey - "Born To Die"

I know that Lana Del Rey is an artist, which a lot of people don't like for several reasons. And I understand those reasons. I know that there are a lot of haters, but also plenty of lovers of her. And even though I'm not saying that I listen to her music every day, her style is pretty unique as well as her voice and songwritting.

Her live performances are also pretty good. Example are these two performances from Premises:


And maybe she have fucked up big time her SNL appearance earlier this year, but she can really sing well. I think that she was just too nervous during SNL.

Anyways, this acoustic performance of "Born To Die" was recorded at Poolside at Chateau Marmont and it is really awesome.

Watch: Green Day - "Nuclear Family"

Stream new Band of Horses album

These days, it is very popular to stream the albums on the internet ahead of their release. Artists actually have several reasons for this. One and the most common reason is the fact that the album has leaked so they give it away anyway as a free stream. Another reason may be artist's kindness or they just want people to hear the album in full length so fans actually know what they're buying.

Next band that has done this is american alternative band Band of Horses. They are streaming their new album Mirage Rock on SoundCloud. The album will be officially released next week (September 18). Give it a try below.
