Burkharts' videos are face-paced montages of 60's and 70's commercials, vacation films, etc. set to the mood and rhythms of the songs and I think that the results are really enjoyable. I picked mostly upbeat songs that are great for a last reminder of summer as it comes to a close. However, the brilliant Future Islands' Like the Moon is gut wrenching with its strange, sad imagery and lead singer Matt Herring's heartfelt vocals. I took out Le Couleur and replaced it with School of Seven Bells because, while "Scavenger" features racing, "Femme" was a little too racy!
Minks "Playboys of the Western World"
A Sunny Day in Glasgow "Golden Waves"
Hibou "Above Us"
The Raveonettes "Z Boys"
Beach Fossils "Birthday"
School of Seven Bells "Scavenger"

I felt trepidation about keeping this post up but I can't deny Sven his trip down to the ol' record store.

I am very appreciative Dr. Trad. I went to Olaf's Independent Record Store in Downtown Oslo today and purchased some records by Pure Bathing Culture and some singles by David Dean Burkhart. Looking forward to a Trailer Trad visit to Norway one day!
