Owen Pallett
Video Premiere: Owen Pallett – The Great Elsewhere
Words like stunning, beautiful, and timeless just barely do justice when talking about Owen Pallett’s 2010 album, “Heartland”. Here is the new video for one of the most gorgeous cuts on the record, “The Great Elsewhere”; directed by Yuula Benivolski and Geoffrey Pugen.
Vote! Music Video Award 2010
Catch Fire will take a break until December 20 – enough time for you, dear followers, to choose your favourite video shown on this site in 2010. Last year I called the voting “Queer Music Video Award“, but I’ve decieded to rename it, since (although I think all videos are queer in one way or another) not all the artists nominated this year actually would consider themselves as “queer”. You find all nominated videos after the poll below the jump or on this page. I hope you enjoy this kind of look back at 2010 as much I did when I did the preselection. May the best one win!

Music Ticker: Caribou, Owen Pallett, Four Tet, M.I.A., Christina Aguilera, Underworld, Miike Snow, HiFi Brown, Neon Indian
+++ Caribou‘s “Swim” is definately one of the best records of the past few months. That I’m not the only one who seems to thinks so can be proven by the fact that both Owen Pallett and Four Tet have recently presented own versions of two of the songs of the album. Click here for Owen’s live version of “Odessa” (poor sound quality) and here Four Tet’s remix of “Angel Echoes” (both via Stereogum) +++ +++ There are another two songs downloadable now that feature the notorious M.I.A. “Haters” seems to be addressed to the New York Times journalist Lynn Hirschberg M.I.A. currently has a beef with (it won’t be found on the upcoming album). “Elastic Love” is a collqboration with Christina Aguilera and will be found on her new album “Bionic”. Click here for “Haters”, here for “Elastic Love” +++ +++ There’s a new strange video by Miike Snow (“The Rabbit”, click here) and a new gorgeous one by Underworld (“Scribble”, click here) +++ +++ Back to Caribou: The single “Odessa” is also the opener of “bikini vol. 1″, a nice mixtape an acquaintance of mine called HiFi Brown has recorded to promote a new party. You can download the tape here +++ +++ Here’s the new video by Neon Indian: +++
Music Ticker: Neon Indian/ Grizzly Bear, Final Fantasy, The Younger Lovers, Peaches, OK Go
+++ Neon Indian have turned on their eighties generator again to remix Grizzly Bear’s “Cheerleaders”. You can ckeck them out the two results of this experiment on their MySpace page (via Pitchfork) +++ +++ Owen Pallet aka Final Fantasy is releasing a new album on January 12th. One of the new songs called “Lewis Takes Action” can already be downloaded on the label’s website +++ +++ The Younger Lovers have been interviewd by a nineties riot grrl/hardcor zine called Liquid. You find the interview on the band’s website +++ +++ Peaches‘ video for “Trick Or Treat” is definitely the most boring one in her series, but it makes sense considered that the track is also the most boring one on the album +++ +++ If Prince would be an indie rock band he would sound like OK Go. This is their new video (via Colin Quinn): +++
