Video of the Day #157: The Inbreds

Inbreds_kombinator

We are really up-to-date here at the onechord.net headquarters. This video of the day is about 20 years old and I just found it during boxing day 2014. Anyway, I thought I have to post it on the blog as well, because Any Sense Of Time by The Inbreds has been one of my favourite songs during the past couple of months. I don’t really understand why I never found them in the late 90s. Totally my kind of stuff and they were even on Tag Recordings along with my (all-time) favourites Fountains Of Wayne and The Lemonheads. Better late than never I suppose. The reason why I found them now was Mike O’Neill’s solo stuff. I really loved Mike’s Wild Lines album and had been listening to it for a year and when the Zunior’s boxing day sale arrived again, I thought I will pick up his back catalogue. So first I picked the solo records and then wanted to get a couple of The Inbreds albums as well, because he was one half of The Inbreds (the other being Dave Ullrich who actually runs Zunior). And now both The Inbreds and Mike O’Neill are constantly playing on my iPod while I bag potatoes at the factory. I don’t know how well people know Mike O’Neill in Canada, but he should famous. And I should write a long post about The Inbreds and that Mike O’Neill solo stuff, because it’s all great and the man is a pop genius. I just don’t have time for that now so I post just post this wonderful song Any Sense Of Time by The Inbreds (from their album Kombinator 1994).

Video of the Day #154: Frontier Ruckus – The Splendid World

frontierruckus

It’s no surprise, but I love the new Frontier Ruckus album Sitcom Afterlife. It’s the best thing that has been released this year. They won the album of the year award here last year and they are going to do it again this year. Eternity of Dimming probably stays as my favourite Ruckus album, but this one is also utterly wonderful. Little Henrietta, Bathroom Stall Hypnosis, Crabapples in Century’s Storm would all be in the song top 10, if I will allow more than 1 song per artist. There’s that song by J.E. Sunde and then there’s Frontier Ruckus. Some of Sitcom Afterlife feels like it’s somewhat bitter break-up stories dressed into the most beautiful and colourful disguise. They now also have this new fabulous music video for the album opener The Splendid World directed by John Hanson.

Video of the Day #153: Lac Belot

Just a quick video post today. I’ve been praising Lac Belot’s debut EP a few times already, but that doesn’t stop me from doing it one more time. There’s a good reason too, because now there’s a music video as well. It’s been out since early October, so it’s about time to post it to the blog as well. This is Lac Belot aka Jarno Takkumäki playing the title track of his wonderful Elizabeth EP.

And here’s the song II from the same EP.

A new Freschard music video surfaced yesterday. The song is Investigate from her fabulous album Boom Biddy Boom. If you are dedicated follower of onechord.net (not sure if there are any), you’ve heard this song here before. I’ve had huge Freschard crush going on since spring and I still love her records Boom Biddy Boom and Shh.. I haven’t gone further back in her discography yet, but I probably eventually will. This is Investigate.
