Here's a band for years that I have been trying to love but I still only use them for background music. I've seen them live and that won me over a little but it wasn't sustainable.

Anyway, watch "Yet Again" below, 'cause you know that you are "supposed to" love these dudes.

Bon Iver - "Beth/Rest" Video

The song "Beth/Rest" from the most recent Bon Iver LP is equally awesome and 80's cheese. The video is about the same.

Sharon Van Etten - "Magic Chords" Video

It's been fun watching Sharon Van Etten get bigger and bigger,seemingly everyday. Wonder if she would have had this video a year or so ago. Cool stuff, though NSFW.

This is my number one album right now. Check out why when you listen to "The Thrill" by Miguel.

Listen to the whole thing below the black and white video that is actually clips from a party for Miguel's girlfriend.

Jens Lekman - "Become Someone Else's" Video

The new Jens Lekman has quietly moved into the heavy rotation of my Rdio account. It's a damn good record. Jens does not misstep in my estimation. Check out the new video from I Know What Love Isn't, "Become Someone Else's".

Sohn "The Wheel"

Rad track that I discovered through a friend.  Check out "The Wheel" by Sohn.
