Great Music-”Shake it Out” Manchester Orchestra

Any of you who have ever had a music conversation with me probably know how much I absolutely love Manchester Orchestra.  On the heels of releasing their most recent album “Mean Everything to Nothing,” the band released a series of music videos for each track on the album.  After finishing this project, they created this new music video for the song “Shake it Out.”

The video is an homage to the movie “Over the Top” starring Sylvester Stallone.  It’s theme and mood complements the song very well and just helps to concrete “Shake it Out” as one of my personal favorite Manchester Orchestra songs.

New Music Vid: Vampire Weekend- Cousins

It’s hard to think that it’s coming close to two years since Vampire Weekend found their way to everyone’s iPod with their self-titled début.  They have very recently released their newest music video for the song “Cousins.” The four members once again bring their signature twee-pop into their new material.  The single is very reminiscent of A-Punk, and while the video is nothing too spectacular, the song is fun and catchy as hell.

Vampire Weekend’s Contra is expected to be available January 10th of 2010.

P.S.  Looks like my video died.  You can still watch the new video here http://www.aceshowbiz.com/video/download/00010866/
