Music video for the song "Mistaken For Strangers" by The National, off the album Boxer. Released in 2007 by Beggars Banquet Records.
The National are playing Fun Fun Fun Fest on November 8. Tickets are available here.

In all honesty, I never really get down on the Halloween vibe.
Never been one for dressing up in costumes, not a big fan of candy,
never really liked scary movies (except The Gate – love that one). I know. I’m such a sourpuss, thanks. A lot of people
do seem to dig Halloween though and they get all sorts of excited when
it falls on a weekend. Never one to let my own misgivings about the
holiday get in the way of a good time (when do I ever let ANYTHING get
in the way of a good time, really), here’s your special, Halloween
edition of Monday Transmissions. On Thursday (it’s been a busy week –
sue me). 
Thursday: What’s Halloween without a metal show – Red7 apparently doesn’t know and that’s why Thursday you can see Vows in Ashes, Havoc Dose, Manifestation and Self-Induced Pain. Not so scary – Pocketful of Deng, Goodnight Goddess and Fatback Circus inside.
As expected, costumes are encouraged. And let’s hope A Pocketful of
Deng dress up like the droogs in A Clockwork Orange – that is where
they got their name from after all. Wouldn’t that be clever.
Music video for "Say" by Girl In A Coma, off the album Both Before I'm Gone. Released in 2007 by Blackheart Records.
Girl In A Coma plays Mohawk on November 9. Tickets available here.
Get ready. Fun Fun Fun Fest 2008 is coming.
And, once again, as part of the FFF experience, Transmission presents the FFF Afterparties, held Friday-Sunday of festival weekend (Nov. 7-9) in the Red River District.

under the radar. Click here for other recent editions of Hot Off the Press, featuring acts such as
TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, Cold War Kids, of Montreal, Juana Molina,

Alexis Taylor – Rubbed Out

released on October 21 on Treader
Report Card: B-
Ohmygodhotchiphotchiphotchip. If that’s your immediate reaction upon
hearing that Hot Chip frontman and oft-dynamo Alexis Taylor is
releasing an under-the-radar solo album, then you’re going to have to
prepare yourself for a somewhat muted response to Rubbed Out.
Because while this little disc sure enough features the familiar vocals
of one of music’s best pairs of nerd-glasses, there’s also a reason
it’s not a widely publicized side project a la Department of Eagles or
Megapuss, and the fact it’s barely making a dent in the musical
landscape of Hot Chip’s widespread and adoring international fanbase is
not without rationale. And that rationale is as follows: of Rubbed
Out’s fifteen tracks, maybe five or six are fully realized enough to
draw in a listener, while the rest feel like the unfinished recordings
of a regularly-brilliant musician far too busy with his other projects
to give sufficient time to this one.
