Video Round-Up is a weekly post collecting an assortment of videos from around the web. Whether they be music videos, creative viral marketing, just plain cool, or just plain ridiculous, they will all be found on Video Round-Up.
This guy has a lot of brothers that look like him and are exactly as talented as him playing cello. It's a good thing they're all Zelda fans. I pictured young Link running around the inside of Kakariko Village's windmill, the camera freaking out in the circular enclosed space. What a great memory.
Featured in AdultSwim's Robot Unicorn Attack flash game (which rules), Erasure's "Always" is as hilarious as it is catchy. You might watch this video to completion for irony's sake, while on the inside you're wondering why in the heck you actually enjoy the song. If that's you, you're like me. It's OK. Embrace the cheesiness.
I found a She & Him story on npr.org while searching for SXSW 2010 music. And with that sentence, my theme is nearly ruined. Sure, She & Him has performed at SXSW before, but, not being acquainted with Zooey Deschanel the musician, I look at this as a Hollywoodish, rather than Indie-ish, performance. But enough with meaningless excuses. I really posted this to get a comment from Alex.
Kacica is the greatest band I discovered during the year I lived in Japan. In their audience for the first time about a year ago, I was nonplussed by their second song. Since then, I haven't gotten tired of their second LP Mosaic. They performed this song that night, as well, the lead singer's choreography included. I hope I get to promote this band further in the future.
I don't know how I missed this video. Cerebral Pop supports Animal Collective, so we offer you a video as kooky as much of the band's music. Now, I might not share this opinion with anyone, but this video isn't just weird; it's badass. No? I love watching DJ groups perform live, bouncing to their own beats, almost-but-not-totally serious about their image. At any rate, it's an exciting video for a great, great song.
Welcome to what is not the epic music festival that took over music news last week. This week we have five awesome music videos that tend to explore non-SXSW genres or ideas. Still, this strong group of excellent musicians was a pleasure to compile. Enjoy.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Zooey.
That Kacica band is pretty sweet, but what the hell is up with that club? Are those blown-up latex gloves on the ceiling above the audience? And I'm not even sure what is covering the wall and ceiling by where the band is.
And that Animal Collective video is wonderful. It is in a playlist of mine on youtube of videos that engross Emmy. She just stares at it in wonderment. Also that Grizzly Bear video for Ready Able that I put in a Round-Up forever ago, but there is some weird troll trying to suck himself off stuff going on in that one.
Japanese clubs tend to be hyper cosy and decorated willy nilly. I didn't even notice how weird the decor was.
Yeah I remember that Grizzly Bear video. WAY weirder than any video I've ever seen. But cool.
