Video: "Brussels Sprout Shout" - Duke Otherwise

So glad to see that Duke Otherwise has a video for a song off his somewhat-under-the-radar-but-fun debut album Creepy Crawly Love.  It's for "Brussels Sprout Shout," and as you can imagine, there are several featured vegetables.

This is what I imagine Downton Abbey to be like All. The. Time.  Please don't tell me I'm wrong.

Video: "Bigga Bagga" - Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke

I do so love "Bigga Bagga" from the latest Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke album, Pleased To Meet You.  I haven't the foggiest idea what the song is about, though.

Here to clear up the matter (or not) is the latest video from the band, illustrated by Wilde himself, of course.  A video that encourages close pictoral analysis.

Video: "Rock, Paper, Scissors" - The Not-Its!

Ah, now that it's nearly September, kids are back in school and settling disputes on the playground in the time-honored tradition of rock, paper, scissors.  Seattle's The Not-Its! have an instructional video for your kids (for "Rock, Paper, Scissors," off their excellent 2013 release KidQuake!) that illustrates the game.

Plus: bonus devil's rock sign.  Thankfully, the contest doesn't go full Sharks-Jets.

Video: "Now Let's Dance" - Dan Zanes & Elizabeth Mitchell with You Are My Flower

With the impending release next week (August 27) of Turn Turn Turn , the album featuring kindie superstars Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell and You Are My Flower, the duo (?) has released another video for a song off the album.

While their video for "Now Let's Dance" doesn't feature the most joyful dog you'll see all year, it does feature a lot of kids dancing and playing instruments.  That -- along with the group's relaxed and happy recording -- is good enough for me.

Video: "Thingamajig" - Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band

Everyone who's heard "Thingamajig" off Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band's upcoming Lishy Lou and Lucky Too!  disk out October 1 has gone gaga, nutso, flipperteejiberty over the song celebrating words real and just off the tip of our tongues.

There is now a brand-spankin' new video to go along with the song, and it's just as bright and spangly as the song itself.  Not only is it a fine introduction to the album, it also appears that it's a fine introduction to a new TV show featuring Lucky and Alisha and the rest of the band.  Lishy Lou and Lucky Too has its own website, and the Google cache of the site reveals that it's a live-action TV show where they "live together in a magical treehouse with all sorts of friends and guests that visit them from time to time."  Consider me intrigued.  Feel free to spin the song (and download for free for the price of a tweet or a link until Aug. 24) here.

Video: "Day You Were Born" - Frances England

Oh, this is something beautiful.  It's a stop-motion collage video for Frances England's "Day You Were Born" off her brand-new album Blink of an Eye .  The video is courtesy of the artist Antonina Clarke, and it captures England's aesthetic (and the song's tone) perfectly.  (Hat tip: Apartment Therapy , who world-premiered the video.)
