Unoffical Video for Panda Bear's "Surfer's Hymn" Released

An unofficial video for Panda Bear’s “Surfer’s Hymn” (but approved according to sources) is making its rounds via the Internet. The single is from his latest effort, Tomboy. It’s directed by m ss ng p eces and is said to be a “tribute to surfers taken by the sea.”

The video features eerie images of a skeleton crew as they crawl from graves to “surf” the streets, which makes for a spooky and interesting video! The black and white video provides a very old school cinema feel (the footage of surfers is actually really cool!), while humorous moments are sprinkled throughout the video, such as when one skeleton does the “hang ten” surfer symbol to a fellow skeleton friend.

Arcade Fire Premiere's New Arrangements On Chicago Talk Show

It’s always amazing to see behind-the-scenes material on how artists create their masterpieces. Thus was the case when Arcade Fire actually premiered new arrangements of their songs, “Sprawl II” and “We Used To Wait” for WBEZ’s (a Chicago public radio station) “Sound Options” rock critic talk show.

Anna Dello Russo: The Music Video

Music videos have become a new forefront for the fashion industry. Beyonce rocked Givenchy couture in her latest video for “Girls,” Gaga pays regular tribute to McQueen. But what about when the tables are turned and members of the fashion industry start making videos? Cue, Anna Dello Russo.

The editor turned street style maven turned blogger is at an all-time high. In her quirky, a little over a minute video, entitled “Fashion Shower,” Russo sings and twirls around into various yoga-esque moves, all while rocking a multicolored fringe mini dress and stiletto pumps.

From extravagant hats reminiscent of Isabella Blow’s collection, to a shoe collection that is most definitely worth millions, photographs of Russo have become almost prized possessions, creating an entire new venue for inspiration (especially on websites like Tumblr, with blogs created like “Fuck Yeah Anna Dello Russo” that compile various pictures of her).

The video starts off with a simple quote, “Fashion is always uncomfortable. When you get comfortable, you never get the look.” You tell em, Anna.
