| Title | New Soul |
| Artist | Yael Naim |
I remember first learning about Plato’s Allegory of the Cave in junior year English class. I hadn’t thought much about it since, until a friend introduced me to the music video for Yael Naim’s song, New Soul. (The song was a rednoW favorite in 2008 and was made especially popular...

| Title | Chasing Pavements |
| Artist | ADELE |
Great choreography has become a bit of an obsession in America. The sheer magnitude of the High School Musical Empire is point enough, but that would be to say nothing about Dancing With The Stars (a ratings hit in its own right) and the many other dance-based reality shows on...

| Title | All I Need [MTV] |
| Artist | Radiohead |
This video was almost impossible for me to deal with, since I have two boys of my own. Unlike some of the comment-leavers below the video on YouTube, I saw the ending coming a mile away. This video feels like watching a car accident develop right in front of my...

| Title | J. Smith |
| Artist | Travis |
Once upon a time while in college, I found myself on an elevator when the cable broke. It may have had something to do with 23 guys cramming into a cart that had a maximum capacity of 11. The cable snapped. We fell 4 stories. A "safety" cable caught us...

| Title | Is There A Ghost |
| Artist | Band of Horses |
What happens when a few have so much and so many have so little?? A pillow fight. ?
As our world gets smaller, via new technologies (i.e. the internet, video technologies, cell phone capabilities, etc.) we begin to get a clearer view of how the "things" in our world...

| Title | Sleeping Sickness |
| Artist | City and Colour |
I have been in a few conversations recently around the topic of "shared space". Can we? Should we? Do we "share space"? Entertaining such questions immediately forces the realization that "space" is rather subjective and highly dependent on qualified boundaries. Subjectivity aside, it seems feasible...

| Title | I Remember (It\'s Happening Again) |
| Artist | Griffin House |
Welcome to the season of elections, where things are black and white (or should I say blue and red), good and evil, and there is no in between. This has become tiresome to many Americans, as evidenced by the last midterm election where Democrats took control of Congress. ...

| Title | The Robots In My Bedroom Were Playing Arena Rock |
| Artist | Softlightes |
Say no! to being cool. Say yes to being happy. It sounds like a pretty good plan, or like a pretty good album title. In fact it's the title of the latest album from Softlightes, which is the home of one of my top songs from the...

| Title | Pork and Beans |
| Artist | Weezer |
Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video brought together most of the elements of my childhood. The chunky guitars echoed seventies rock from bands like the Raspberries. Weezer embraced their inner geek by casting themselves within a homage to the sitcom, "Happy Days." For a kid who grew up on Richie, Potsie and...

"Everything's gonna to get lighter, even if it doesn't get better."* That's a big promise Mates of State are making in their new single "Get Better" which was just released today. And it all begins with the line "forget your politics for a while." Not an easy...

| Title | Boy With a Coin |
| Artist | Iron & Wine |
The brilliance of the images that Sam Beam (aka Iron &Wine) creates is found in the subtly. It isn't exactly easy to create images that reflect pure joy or pure tragedy, but it might be even more difficult to create images that reflect the ambiguity that encompasses most...

| Title | Calling You Out |
| Artist | Adam Bianchi |
I was recently asked if there were any early indications of what my "spring break jam" for this year might be. I thought maybe it was going to be Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," since nothing says spring break like the sentiment of Winehouse's catchy little tune: "I know...

| Title | To Build a Home |
| Artist | The Cinematic Orchestra |
The makeup of jazz/electronic ensemble "The Cinematic Orchestra" is somewhat of a puzzle to figure out. Much like fellow British acts Massive Attack and U.N.K.L.E., the players tend to fluctuate. Their sound echoes that of a multi-piece symphony but eventually finding their origination in founder/leader Jason Swinscoe. ...

[So... better late than never... right?]
During the past few years, there has been a revival of sorts within the music video industry. Of course, much credit is due to our friendly billionaires Chad Hurley and Steve Chen (YouTube co-founders). Though record labels can't quite make up their mind...

| Title | Down the Line |
| Artist | Jose Gonzalez |
If you've caught Jose Gonzalez's new album, "In Our Nature," you know that Gonzalez is dealing with some large subject matter in a much more overt way than he did on his previous album, "Veneer." While the subjects of war and love, along with other major topics, are breeched...

| Title | Put the Lights on the Tree |

Hanna-Barbera. Conjunction Junction. Do these words mean anything to you? If you were born pre-1980, these words are likely a window into Saturday morning nostalgia. Imagine rising early on a wintery Saturday morning, heading to your living room in your PJs and a brimming bowl...

One of the greatest opening scenes of The Office involves Jim testing the "Pavlovian Dog Theory" out on Dwight. In short, every time Jim restarts his computer, he offers Dwight an Altoid. Of course, in the end... Jim wins out. Dwight is left high and dry the very...

Paul Auster (writer) and Wayne Wang (director) played with these questions in the 1995 film Smoke. There is a memorable scene in which cigar store owner Auggie, played by Harvey Keitel, invites writer-friend Paul (William Hurt) to see...
