Thursday morning video bonanza

Forget New Music Friday, I'm more excited about Get Your Songs Out Before The Oncoming Deluge Thursday.

Here are three (excellent) songs by (outstanding) artists who can't / won't compete with the tedious EDM tracks that dominate Spotify's weekly new music list.

1) London Grammar - Big Picture
A more obvious radio hit than the sublime Rooting For You, this track caresses Hannah Reid's vocals with a big U2-shaped guitar line.




2) Maggie Rogers - On & Off
Rocking the Elvis jumpsuit, Maggie Rogers exudes charisma in this quirky, but stylish video.




3) Regina Spektor - Black and White
One of the more understated tracks on Regina's peerless Remember Us To Life, Black and White is an achingly beautiful song about loss and heartbreak. The video is shot in Chicago's long-abandoned Uptown Theater (last used in 1981), which only adds to the haunting atmosphere.
