Video Du Jour: The Kills

The Kills, featuring singer Alison Mosshart and guitarist Jamie Hince, have a new album Blood Pressures that is really very good. They were all over SXSW in Austin, and I’m truly sorry I missed ’em. Mosshart may be the hottest chick in rock right now, and they have an awesome sound that is punk rough but refined and sexy. They played at the IFC House during the festival, and here they do “Baby Says” from the new album.

Video of the Day: “O Mary Don’t You Weep”

New Orleans musician Theresa Andersson (who is actually from Sweden) has a new DVD, “Theresa Andersson: Live at Le Petit,” and it features this amazing performance of the Civil War-era spiritual “O Mary Don’t You Weep.”  Theresa is a singer and a fiddler, but on this video you can see how she’s taken her performance to the edge to deliver something really new and exciting.  She so deftly blends her live performance with the backing track that it’s truly spellbinding to watch.  “Theresa Andersson: Live at Le Petit,” with special guests including the legendary Allen Toussaint, is available now at Theresa’s website.

Song of the Day: “Not Myself Tonight”

Music video by Christina Aguilera performing “Not Myself Tonight.”  In a time when everyone’s trying to be the next Lady Gaga, it’s nice to see Christina’s only trying to be … Madonna.  By the way, this is the unedited or “dirty” version.  Nothing but the best for our readers!
