I think it’s silly season on Youtube for record companies this week. There’s Lightspeed Champion dressed as Elvis doing “Devil In Disguise” (pictured), there’s another video for the same song as was posted a few months ago from Maps, Adam Green’s gone video mental (third in a week), and Julian Casablancas’ video for “The 11th Dimension” features daft headgear but – fairly importantly, I reckon – no actual sound. Er… enjoy?

Is it over yet? Can we now stop talking about lists, top tens, Santa, new year’s resolutions and all the other guff that’s been going on elsewhere over the last fortnight? I did the sensible thing and left the country, so am blissfully ignorant of anything that’s happened recently. I’ve no idea what your album of 2009 was, and I also don’t care – new stuff beckons. Today, that comes in the slightly jerky shape of these recent videos released into the wild by Adam Green, Blood Red Shoes, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson (pictured) and Tindersticks. Oh, and a video re-posted by SXSW to promote our previous Album Of The Week-ers Turbo Fruits upcoming Austin show that just deserves mentioning because… well, just because I feel like it.
