Falling Up - In the Woodshop [Official Video]

Great tune, and nice video. The ending kind of references Excalibur and King Arthur I suppose, but in a neat way. That and sort of Where the Wild Things Are or Chronicles of Narnia in the whole wandering off into a portal or wormhole in the woods, etc.

But that very much fits a lot of what Falling Up and Jessy Ribordy is about at times.

Typhoon - Young Fathers [Official Video]

Nice video. Boy hanging out in forest with a friend likely created by his imagination. Like The Dear Hunter's latest video for "Shouting at the Rain,"..I am reminded of (Spike Jonze's) Where the Wild Things Are with this one too.

Good song too of course.

The Dear Hunter - Shouting at the Rain (Video)

Nice video. For some reason, I thought I read from Casey or someone else with the band, the story/style/approach was inspired by Where the Wild Things Are . But I don't recall when that may have been, if it was. But the theme of this video does remind me of that story among others anyway.
There's a short interview as well here per mtv.com

Vuvuzela - Rings and Things (Official Video)

Interesting video, which sort of reminds me of if the kid from Where the Wild Things Are was fixating on Lord of the Rings or Camelot. I'm not sure if the kid could be Josh Benash as-a-kid? just guessing. But like most of Kiss Kiss's videos, there's always a humor and quirkiness to it. This though, doesn't seem so political.

Now the messages about the contest that just ended, are now moot because the contest did just end, and Vuvuzela just lost I think, to some band called Fashions. I'm not sure all what they would have won, other than more exposure and a few others things. But hey, the winners of American Idol have sucked compared to the Runner's Up. Even Bend Sinister only finished 3rd in the Peak Performance Contest back in 2009? but the bands who finished ahead of them? I wonder if they are doing as well as Bend Sinister have since, as they have seen more growth, exposure and success in the last couple of years (especially this year), as they ever have.

Perhaps finishing so close will garner some unexpected attention for Vuvuzela. Let's hope.
