Apparently this is a real trailer for a real movie
It has a website and everything... I think it might be a comedy. Only explanation.

LCD Soundsystem: London Session
They actually carry a copy of this at the Toronto Public Library. Now this is a gravy train I can get behind. And don't feel guilty about putting it on hold for pickup at your local branch. Here's the thing: you've already paid for it.
And it is definitely worth it.

St. Vincent - "Cheerleader"

Also, check out the title track from her latest album, "Strange Mercy"... listen to about 1:37 and tell me that doesn't kind of sound like the dungeon music from Zelda: Link to the Past.

Gimmicky cover song
The thing that bugs me about these videos is that they set it up to make it look like they're playing it "live" in front of the camera. Not that it should be a big surprise or anything, but they're not. They're playing to a backing track. The vocals sound too clean and the mic placement doesn't match the tone of the voices.
As for the song itself... meh. I have no problem with gimmicks or goofy songs, but there's no wink or nudge with anything this band does, it's all so earnest. They're all very talented musicians though, I'll give them that.
The Bark Side - ad for an ad
It's a pretty clever spot. My guess is that for the audio they would record each dog individually and pitch correct it with Melodyne. That would have been an interesting couple of days in the studio...
So it's an ad for an ad. Super Bowl Sunday ads are so big that they are spilling out beyond the actual broadcast day, interesting.
