Videos of the Day – week of 2/17/20

2/17 – we’re a little late to the As It Lays party…seems like kind of a Between Two Ferns-esque series with some pretty big names giving very thoughtful answers to very random questions from artist Alex Israel. This one with the frontman of the Red Hot Chili Peppers from last summer seems to have by far the most views of the 2nd season (the 1st season was 7 years ago!?)

2/18 – for a band that used to not make videos at all, Pearl Jam sure have been busy with the visuals for their 2 singles from Gigaton so far…3 videos for the 1st song, now this cool animated clip for the 2nd song!

2/19 – There’s a new Strokes album coming in April (produced by Rick Rubin). Here’s the literally face-melting video for the 1st proper single (last week was just a teaser track)

2/20 – as heard today on the News at Noon, Man Man is back…get ready to get your groove on with this new lyric video

2/21 – there’s a new Grimes album out today & here’s the latest single from it…in other news, she plans to employ a “digital body” in order to do work while she spends more time with the baby she’s expecting soon with Elon Musk
