A video has been released for the title track of Ryan Adams’ forthcoming album. Playing an acoustic version of the song, Adams sits and strums a red, white and blue guitar. He also appears to be wearing Mardi Gras beads. It sounds like he’s in top form, and we’re very much looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

Missed this video when it first went up, but it rules. Wild Flag runs amuck and causes some mischief on their lunch break. We look forward to catching their amazing live show again in October at Maxwell’s.

Honestly, this new Fucked Up video for “The Other Shoe” video is pretty anti-climatic and basically just has a bunch of people walking around with seemingly no purpose. I love this song though, so if you haven’t heard it listen to it with some visuals.

Daniel Blumberg of Yuck’s side project Oupa have released what I believe is his first video for the track “Physical”. This project is more challenging and not as immediately gratifying as Yuck but definitely worth a listen. Forget is avaialble on cassette and digitally from Fat Possum.

Watch the Vivian Girls sing to each other over the phone in fabulously decorated teenage girl bedrooms. This song seems like the female answer to Nada Surf’s “Popular”.

From one of our favorite albums of the 2011, Arabia Mountain, comes the video for “New Direction”. My friend just commented it looks like they took the whole video production budget and spent it on drugs instead. Sounds about right.

Lots of new videos hitting the web in the past few days, the latest from Ty Segall and Cults both happen to be for songs that are at least a year old. OFF!’s video comes from their 7 inch EP collection and will take about 37 seconds of your time.

New music video from Yuck featuring various people’s body parts juxtaposed together to create strange cut and paste humans singing the song. There is some artsy full frontal nudity that may be frowned upon if it shows up on the computer screen at your corporate desk job, so watch out.

New video from shimmery pop-rockers Seapony, make sure to catch them in NYC this week when they play Bruar Falls (Northside Festival) and Piano’s.
