WatchSmoke Fairies - Hotel Room
What do you get when you’re in a dream with blanket forts and hawks and fake flowers and cockroaches and magic? Probably something like this stunning video directed by Casey Raymond and Ewan Jones Morris which premiered earlier today over on The Line of Best Fit.
Look for the new 7″ for this song, due out on October 11th on V2 / Cooperative Music.

WatchLuke Roberts - Unspotted Clothes
Loser Satan staggers his way through a bizarre, but ostensibly normal day of firecrackers, bikini parties and muddy waters. Set to the soundtrack of a fabulous anti-country/western shuffler of a single off the new Ecstatic Peace! release Big Bells and Dime Songs.
Directed by James Clauer. Gorgeous cinematography by Dustin Lane.
Fox Hands - Branches
Love this track by Virginia...

WatchThe Gaze - Feet Become Hammers
There’s something to be said for totally unsettling videos, especially the trippy and dark ones. Don’t know much about this Brooklyn band but this video stars a certain Queenie Georg and was directed by one J. Derrick. Don’t know anything else about them or the band, but this is fabulous stuff.
Thanks, Sean Donnelly, for the tip.

WatchPissed Jeans - False Jesii, Part 2
Funny story - these dudes went to my high school and graduated a few years after me, in my sister’s class. A few years later, I was delivering pizzas at Pizza Hut with Randy, their bassist. Then, a few years after that they’re all in this kick-ass hard core band and making crazy ass radical stuff like this. Anyways, life is strange.

Mixtape Coverart.
Hey guys - I’m all set to go with a brand new mixtape (yay!) but I’ve been having a real hard time getting that ‘just right’ cover art. So I figure - why not ask for y’alls input. I know there are some wicked cool artists out there. Show thyself! I promise you fame and riches beyond your wildest imagination. Or not. At the very least some link-love and a bear hug.

WatchBreathe Owl Breathe - Lake Light
hometapes:
I keep playing this video, letting “Lake Light” spill gently from the single speaker on the computer. It sounds like someone’s dream being described to me through a can on a string. It sounds perfect. And the dream: Patrick Lelli’s video imagery comes the closest I’ve seen to the movies you watch in your pillow.
We’re celebrating Breathe Owl Breathe....
