++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
…music video? grew out of the collaborative and vibrant music scene in Tucson, AZ, where the desert heat melts styles and genres together in creative ways. Voted Tucson’s best electronic band for five years running, …music video? strives to blur the line that separates noise from pop. Songwriter/keyboardist Paul Jenkins, producer Wes McCanse and multi-instrumentalist J. Lugo Miller blend melodies with electronic beats, controlled chaos, and the best of countless genres. They have self-released two critically-acclaimed albums (2004’s Fireproof Your TV, and 2007’s Now That My TV Has Wings I’ll Never Be Lonely), been a featured band on NPR, and performed an official showcase at the 2009 SXSW festival.
"I’m Afraid Of Everything" b/w "feelgooddesperation" is a glimpse into …music video?‘s future, where the alluring voice of Paul Jenkins and a bangin’ backbeat relax on a bed of lush noise. "I’m Afraid Of Everything" hearkens back to a time when recorded music could only be heard with a needle on a record, where guitar chords wept, and where a slow jam could break someone’s heart. It’s an all-out groove, complete with harmonies and wah-wah that shimmers with the reflected light of a disco ball. "feelgooddesperation" is a remix/collaboration that juxtaposes the aptly-titled instrumental …music video? track "postrockfeelgoodsongofthemillenium" with the mournful lyrics of fellow Tucson band Musica Obscura‘s "Desperation." Piano and shifting, energetic noise blend with soulful vocals to create a haunting yet uplifting soundtrack for this new decade.
“I’m Afraid of Everything” shows the way Jenkins, McCanse, and Miller transfer the desert heat into cool harmonies and rhythms. If I’m Afraid of Everything is any indication, …music video? is headed fast toward a prominent place on permanent playlists everywhere— both the one inside your head and the ones outside.
Previous Press Accolades for …music video?
"…music video? stands out in a crowded field of electro-pop groups with their strong sense of melody, flawless production and surprisingly fresh use of synths and samples" – NPR
"…music video?… sounds a bit like Sparklehorse doing a Bowie cover." – Tucson Weekly
"The honesty and humor preserved on this recording are very human and very real." – Nada Mucho

Hi,
Hope all is well.
Sweden’s right now most blissed-out duo, Pallers, return with a follow up to the Elbo.ws #1 “Humdrum”. Their gem, “The Kiss”, is said to be influenced by a DJ-set by Tobi Neumann in Ibiza and offers an unrivaled blend of hypnotic electronica, sweeping synthesizers and embracing pop-melancholy that just keeps building.
MP3 Download: http://www.labrador.se/TheKiss
Photos can be found here: http://www.labrador.se/press/pallers.php3 Releasedate: 26th of may
You’re more than welcome to post it on your blog and spread it in any way you’d like to. Just let me know if there’s anything else you might need. Thanks!

Short story/Morning run – Très Bien Despotz
Our Lady Peace
Since March, Our Lady Peace has been traveling across Canada performing the albums Clumsy & Spiritual Machines in their entirety. The “An Evening With Our Lady Peace Tour ” consists of two nights at a venue, each night dedicated to one of the albums followed by a full second set of songs from all of their records including their most recent album Burn Burn. A new video for “Dreamland”, a stand out track from Burn Burn, is a compilation of footage taken from the first leg of the tour.
Here is lead singer Raine Maida’s description of the inspiration for the song: “Norman Rockwell paintings, while being weaved into “Americana” over the years have always seemed creepy to me. The irony is that ‘Dreamland’ is inspired by his style of painting. Escapism from present day woes right into one of his Rockwell lands . I guess part two to ‘Dreamland’ would have us sinking into the dogs playing poker painting… ”
OLP is set to head out on the second leg of the tour next week.

Hey,
I sent you some Uncles‘ tracks about a month ago but didn’t hear back from you. I thought you would like them since they share similarities with Silver Jews, a group I know you have covered. Since my last email to you, the Uncles have generated some blog buzz and I wanted to offer Musikoon their next single. The single is titled Deaf Dumb Dog. Their debut album, due out May 5, is called Replacing Word with Other Words. Their two previously released songs are Settler’s Song and Where Does It Sleep.
If you do post, here are some photos of them and here is a one sheet containing their bio and information on the release. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for your time.
