Prisoners

"Prisoners" by J Mascis and Sharon Van Etten from Aimee Mann 

There's so much win here, from Sharon Van Etten and J Mascis collaborating on a John Denver tune to Aimee Mann playing a Denver wannabe geek.  

Actually, that's pretty much everything there is to like in this video.

Lovely Night

This made me smile:  SNL's Fred Armisen, Jason Sudekis, and Bill Hader, with (in order of appearance) Carrie Brownstein, Steve Jones, J Mascis,  Kim Gordon, Aimee Mann, and Michael Penn.

Update:  I just noticed that J Mascis is wearing the same Void t-shirt that Stephen McBean of Black Mountain wore at MFNW 2012.

The Postal Service Auditions

Funny Or Die does it again, getting some terrific rock musicians to perform lacerating parodies of themselves, although Moby takes it to a whole other level.
