Video: "Inspiration" - Cat Doorman

Who inspired Juliana Bright, who under the moniker Cat Doorman has released the Cat Doorman Songbook?  ​Well, for this, her first video from the album, for the track "Inspiration," it was her daughter, whose drawings served as the basis for Bright's drawings.  (Alexis Gideon joined in.)  Lo-fi and lovely.

Video: "One Fat Frog" - Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke

Always good to have another Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke video.  This one's for "One Fat Frog" off their much-beloved Rise and Shine album.  The fat frog is by far the most sane and low-key animal in this motley collection of lightly animated sketches.

Video: "Too Dirty to Love" - Caspar Babypants

Caspar Babypants and Charlotte Blacker, back together again for kindie video goodness.  Last time it was knitted bears, this time it's collage-y grungy worms.  It's for "Too Dirty to Love" (featuring vocals from Rachel Flotard), off the brand-new and excellent CB album I Found You!.

Video: "Busy" - The Not-Its!

You know, they had me at the kids playing horns.  But the first video from the Not-Its new album Kidquake! also features slow-motion video, sped-up video, and most-importantly, a song that serves as its own alarm clock.  Squeeze this one in.  (Via Red Tricycle)

Video: "Winter Beard" - The Pop Ups

Watching the Pop Ups takin' it to the streets in this new video for a brand new song, "Winter Beard," my overriding thought was:

ONLY.  IN.  BROOKLYN.

(Lots of fun, though, for a cold winter's day.)

Video: "Change of Heart" - Steve Weeks

I tell you, if this video from Steve Weeks for a brand new song of his, "Change of Heart," doesn't put a smile on your face, then I just don't know what to do with you.  Once again, a reminder that simple videos -- as long as they're put together competently -- can be very effective.
