Videos of the Day – week of 12/1
Posted on by Bob Uehlein

since we took the week off last week (from updating videos anyway…), lots of cool things to catch up on this week!  The bonus video above is a Kim Deal solo track from earlier this year…as you’ll see below, she’s had a busy year, even without being part of the new Pixies album!

12/1 – in case you missed the World Aids Day concert tonight in Times Square, here it is via YouTube…Chris Martin sings with “U2 minus 1” about six minutes in & Bruce Springsteen joins them about 40 minutes in!

12/2 – the new She & Him album is out today.  It features 13 covers of classic songs, recorded live and accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra.  The track list includes:  Dusty Springfield’s “Stay Awhile”, Johnny Mathis’ “It’s Not for Me to Say”, and “Unchained Melody”

12/3 – One of my favorite albums of all time gets another deluxe re-issue this week, as Pixies’ Doolittle turns 25.  While 3 of the original Pixies put out a series of EPs that led to their 1st new studio album since Trompe Le Monde, bassist Kim Deal got The Breeders back together this year, did a 20th anniversary of Last Splash reissue & tour & sporadically puts out solo material through her website, like this song & video unveiled over the holiday weekend…

12/4 – Purity Ring has released a new song & video this week! Wonder how long it took them to film this one?

12/5 – Sam Smith’s update of a Christmas classic has just debuted…congrats to Sam on his 6 Grammy nominations, tying him with Beyonce & Pharrell!
