Video Vacuum - School Knights, The Grates, Civil Civic, Ty Segall


Ive been a bit lax on the video front in the past weeks, and we all need some musically-minded procrastination from time to time, am I right? Yeah of course I am. Uncle Braedog is always right... So here is what you've all been praying for...

I love Ty Segall. No seriously. This guy is one of my faves right now. And the fact that in a month's time he's going to be tearing Woodland apart is more than a little exciting. His new album Goodbye Bread is amazing, already a contender for favourite album of 2011. Here's a track off it, the title one even, in what appears to be a toilet...



It was sad when Denver's Weed Diamond called it a day despite hinting at their potential brilliance when they released Carry On + Sweater Kids last year. Still, all is not lost. Offshoot duo School Knights are out and about, and their little release of last year Rush SK was also killer (and you can download it for free at their Bandcamp - do it!). Here is their track 'Fuck The Beach' - its great. Now who wants to see these guys beat the piss out of Nathan Williams? Or at least distract him whilst I snatch Bethany Cosentino off him - that shit still baffles me...



Now this one kicks arse. SM faves Civil Civic are preparing to release their debut LP later this year, and have released an 80s-tastic video for their first track off it, 'Airspray'. If you pick every show/film used in this mashup...well, you won't win a prize, cos I have nothing other than dirty jocks to give away, but you win nonetheless...



lastly is Brisbane based indie confectionary The Grates, whose video for 'Turn Me On' is fucking rad. Its not the kind of music we normally have here, but Im biased as I know these guys and its a fucking rad video. Oh yeah - AND ITS MY BLOG! Ahem. Sorry. Just watch, even if with the sound down - you will enjoy it.



NOW GET BACK TO WORK!
