This Just In

Videos of the day – week of 12/2

12/2 – the new video for Lorde’s “Team” has debuted this week…

12/3 – Twin Shadow has covered Bruce Springsteen, Tori Amos & Lou Reed so far in his Under The Cvrs video series…here’s the latest one, an excellent version of U2’s “With Or Without You”

12/4 – it was fun having San Fermin in the Corner Lounge today, after their show at The Southern & before they played JMU.  Check ’em out!

12/5 – Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes in the Corner Lounge today before they play The Southern tonight…here they are playing on a rooftop in L.A. earlier this year!

12/6 – Tristen is an artist we’ve followed for a few years on BTC.  Here’s her new video for a song we played a couple months ago…I think there’s a not-so-veiled take on Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, et al going on here, or maybe it’s just a commentary on our (the audience) reaction to such “everywhere at all times” media mavens??
