WATCH: Jukebox The Ghost Making Of Video
Making of 'Victoria' by Jukebox The Ghost from whataboutme on Vimeo
Jukebox The Ghost has been busy invading stages all throughout the US; they'll be in Ewing, Boise, Lansing and everywhere in between come September and October. In the meantime, they've crafted a "making of the music video" music video to remind us that they care. The video of the making of "Victoria" is more DIYY than say, Vincent Moon, or whomever, but I think there may be hidden symbolism in their hand puppetry. It's as revelatory of their goofy, fun-loving characters as their songs below. (*ppsst the real "Victoria" video is coming soon).
SOUNDS LIKE: Ra Ra Riot, Spinto Band, Vampire Weekend

VIDEO PREMIERE: Sam Champion's Second Heavenly Bender Video
Above you'll find the second clip in Sam Champion's promo video series for their new album Heavenly Bender, out September 2nd on North Street Records. In this installment we find bassist Jack Dolgen caught up with some weird kid at a playground, the whole thing edited together by director Andrew Zuchero like the scene in Natural Born Killers where they meet the old man in the hut on mushrooms. No worries though, turns out dude was just wailing super hard and lost himself for a minute. Watch the first episode right here, look for more on the band's YouTube Channel, and download Sam Champion's exclusive RCRD LBL EP below.

FEATURED: Hercules & Love Affair Interview At XLR8R TV
When I watched this conversation between Andrew Butler and RCRD LBL Contributing Editor David Bevan, I got distracted at the mention of DJ Garth and spent half an hour looking at photos from Garth’s Wicked Sound System raves in the nineties over at their MySpace page. Shots of turntables overlooking the barren desert at Burning Man and all-nighters in Golden Gate Park is totally justifiable nerding out to me. All Andy Butler DOES in the video is nerd out, gushing about his discovery of disco, repeatedly playing the dub mix to Yazoo’s “Situation, and what his first DJ gig was like at the age of 15. Head over to XLR8R to meet the man and watch the clip.

FEATURED: Sam Champion Make Funny Videos For Heavenly Bender
Weathermen aficionados and RCRD LBL signees Sam Champion are prepping the release of their sophomore album Heavenly Bender, due September 2nd through North Street.

Scope the first clip above and grab Sam Champion's free RCRD LBL EP below along with "Easy Street," a cut from bassist Sean Bones' roots reggae side project.

VIDEO THRWBCK: Clipse - Grindin'
We always felt we had something in common with the Clipse and after weeks of contemplating, we finally figured it out—we both pitch that bass. No, we're not talking about the "white girl", we mean that heavy-boomin'-shake-your-sub-woofer type bass. So grind with us in enjoying the most ridiculous (in a good way) coke metaphors and probably the craziest beat to launch a rap groups mainstream career. Say it with us, R-E-U-P-G-A-N-G!
FEATURED VIDEO: The Acorn - Flood Pt. 1
Over at their RCRD LBL blog, the folks at Paper Bag Records have posted the video The Acorn’s single for “Flood Pt. 1”. There is a moment in this video, directed by Christopher Mills, where an animated woman dances in the desert in front of a setting sun perfectly in sync with the song’s blissfull percussion in the verse and that made us yearn to do the same. Since we can’t, we’ll just bounce along to the rest of the band’s songs from this year’s Glory Hope Mountain, which you should grab below.

FEATURED: On The Road With Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson @ TheFADER.com
.jpg)
We rave enough about Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson here that you have probably already heard what his music sounds like (epic troubadourian rock 'n roll), but do you REALLY know the man behind the tunes? Cue journalism, as our bros at TheFADER.com present RCRD LBL Contributing Editor David Bevan's original four-part documentary of life on the road with MBAR. Culled from footage of five nights spent cooped up in the van with Miles and his band while they drove around the West devouring stages, fans, beers, smokes, jokes and Mexican food, the doc also includes rare acoustic and live performances you needn’t miss. Part 1 is up now (complete with epic cliffhanger line at the end) with the rest to follow each day. Happy viewing.

VIDEO THRWBCK: Boris - A Bao A Qu
With SunnO))) playing Oslo, Norway's Oya Festival, we thought this would be a perfect excuse to throw up a video from their Southenlord label-mates (and a personal fave at the RCRD LBL offices), Boris. "A Bao A Qu"—based on the extended version from The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked rather than the Soundtrack from Film "Mabuta no Ura" version—undeniably resides on the mellower side of this Japanese band's spectrum and provides a fitting drone/ambient Yin to SunnO)))'s sludgecore Yang.
