5 favorite KEXP videos of 2010

I fucking love KEXP. The thought of listening to this station in a car 24/7 almost makes me want to move to Seattle. They are constantly adding GOOD videos of GOOD bands. Their videos are the reason that I have a net of christmas lights, like the ones in the videos, on my wall. Only picking 5 was suuuper hard. But I guess that's why I like making these kind of end of the year lists in the first place.


These easily became a favorite at the beginning of the year. I hate them now but this song still gives me chills. They're so reminiscent of my emo/pop punk dayzzz. This song was on the top of Hype Machine for a while which is kind of strange for a non remix/trance/cover. This album came out in 2009 but I wanted them to be on a list so badly that I put them on here.

This guy is a beast. Azns and electronics. Did you catch that Nosaj is Jason spelt backwards? Probably not since only blind people and fools read my blog.

He writes good songs. He also sings very well. Doesn't this kid look just like Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd Rock from the Sun?!

I kind of don't like that I like this song. I feel like such a sucker for getting chills when everything gets all epic. I think the main guy looks evil, the girl looks like a young Dolly Parton and I don't like that she sings with her hands on her hips, the other guy who points and claps looks like a d-bag wearing sunglasses indoors. Everyone else looks fine. If not for them I would probably flog myself for putting this video up.

The drummer is: old(er), singing, and twitches. This fucking song rules. I usually listen to it at least 5-6 times in a row. Probably because it's only two minutes long but that is besides the fact.

Ya, whatever this is the 6th video. I don't even know what to say about this. It's good. I like it. You like it.

These fucking Canadians busting out Weezer-ish sounding songs. Good thing Weezer rules. They look like they'd be cool to get nuts with. I mean shit, they brought in a girl to shoot confetti while they play for a radio station. Who is going to hear the confetti?! No one. They did it for themselves.

K last one. Ya, whatever this is the 8th video. Sue me.

Done with this list. Got a couple more coming up.

  1. LOL about what you said about the head and the heart. I still love them.

    That Nosaj Thing DJ set was amazing.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video list.

    Totally resent being called a blind fool though.
