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.

Jonas Stein – while he and Be Your Own Pet were all still employed – used to keep Turbo Fruits as a side-project, and occasionally roped in BYOP members for band duties. Their first self-titled outing, back in 2007, was a scrappy little terrier of an album, a gleefully messy affair; this time out, as a full-time gig, they’ve managed to keep the charm, but they’ve ramped the tunes well up to eleven and beyond.
