Today’s 36th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by young artist ‘David Dallas’ and his track ‘Big Time’. I’m feeling the retro horns, break-beats and the relevant lyrics, as well as the subtle but interesting visual effects added in by director ‘Special Problems‘. That’s why I’ve selected this track for this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 35th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by the always interesting ‘Major Lazer’ and their fab dance party track ‘Keep it Going Louder’. From a graphic + effects perspective this video has it all and is really interesting. The rather robust women on pocket rockets with their distorted facial features take this video to that extra freaky level. Super fun/freaky stuff from ‘Major Lazer’. That’s why I’ve selected this track for this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 34th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by the over-adrenalized ‘Vampire Weekend’ cranking out a track called ‘Cousins’ in a back alley in what looks to be in NYC somewhere. I’m feeling this track b/c it’s super energetic and exactly what I need to get me through this week as I travel all over the damn country to visit family for Thanksgiving and move to Seattle, yes, all in one week. If I make it out the other end in one functional piece I’ll be more than satisfied. That’s why I’ve selected this track for this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 28th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by west coast band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’. Last week when I posted those great night shots by Will Etling, one of his fans or friends posted a link to his band and suggested I go check them out. Long story short, I did and they are really good, especially if you’re into the whole Moog/synth sound… To me, they are kind of a cross between ‘the Figurines’ and ‘the Rentals’. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Someone’s taken some notes from Madonna’s early career… Today’s 27th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is a shocking French rap/electronica/dub diva named ‘Uffie’. Her super edgy sexed up lyrics accompanied by some fresh creative beats and 80s synth effects make her track ‘Pop the Glock’ very disruptive and unique amongst others in her genre. The video is right on trend as well with a combination of lo-fi footage mashed up with some spacey-out-there 80s infused graphic effects and compositing. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’ (word of caution, this video is probably NSFW).

Dan Deacon – Paddling Ghost from Natalie van den Dungen on Vimeo.

Today’s 25th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is an over-caffeinated exclusive re-edit by extra-terrestrial experimental digital composer ‘Dan Deacon’ called ‘paddling Ghost’. The video was directed by Natalie van den Dungen, who has worked on some pretty impressive puppetry and surrealist video work in the past. This time she’s telling us the story of a paddling patch-eyed ghost who braves the crossing of many oceans and happens upon many strange characters, even Dan Deacon himself (as a puppet). The puppetry, sets and lighting are super clever throughout the piece. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 24th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is a track by Wolf Parade vocalist/keyboardist Spencer Krug’s sideline project -> Sunset Rubdown called ‘Black Swan’. This video displays some interesting spot-lit foliage and star-lit night scapes that are peppered with some creepy skeletons followed by occasional explosions of kaleidoscopic graphics. The music itself is very 60′s acid rock psychedelic crossed with vocal accents that remind me of David Byrns’s stylings with the ‘The Talking Heads’. All in all very cool. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 23rd ‘Midweek Music Bump’ (wow, I’m up to 23!?) is a track by an American electronic band from Cambridge, Massachusetts -> Passion Pit called ‘Sleepyhead’. The last couple weeks I have been listening to a lot of heavy synth based music and trying shoot light trails with my camera. Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s just a spell of random behavior. So naturally when I came across this video I thought that it would be a great addition to the MWMB list I have going. Excellent track. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 21st ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is a track by Miracle Man called ‘Cocosuma’. This highly detailed stop motion video was shot and directed by J-A-C-K. There are plenty of swirling skulls, burning candles and some odd highly accessorized vegetables to keep your attention. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

It’s fun to see that technology start to grow into different uses. Nice up-beat track as well. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’. I first saw this on www.yayeveryday.com.

Today’s 19th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is a classic track from the 80′s and one of my personal all time favorites called ‘No New Tale To Tell’ by the now legendary ‘Love and Rockets’. Over time the lyrics in this song have really proven to be useful and applicable in life, providing even more guidance than some of the the force fed passages that I was terrorized with as a young kid while attending Catholic school. I’m sure I’m no exception. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

The Chap – Dig For Fire and Vincent Moon’s SXSW ’09 Take-Away series from Dig For Fire on Vimeo.

Today’s 18th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is a track called ‘Fun and Interesting’ by the geo-appropriately named London based band ‘The Chap’. Filmed in the intimate setting of their temporary SXSW residence they perform the track in a way that lives up to the track’s title. Indeed, ‘Fun and Interesting’. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’. Be sure to check out their Myspace page as well, I’m really feeling their brand of oddness.
