During our Five Questions with Birdcloud interview with the band right before Valentine’s Day, the Nashville 2-piece told us about a little line-dance number they were working on. “Our new hit ‘FUK U COP’ is a line dance… it’s gonna be super produced and real nineties pop country soundin’. Just retarded. The joy of my life.”
Well, wait no longer! The video for ‘F*ck You Cop’ dropped today and the Birdcloud ladies lived up to their promise. Definitely worth the wait! Check out their new video below and catch them on tour with Natural Child this Summer. See the full dates HERE:
One of our favorite filmmakers, Joshua Shoemaker, recently stopped by the 12th annual Waverly Boogie festival in Waverly, AL that’s hosted at Standard Deluxe‘s screen-printing space to catch a hand-full of artists performing at this year’s event… The outcome? Four outstanding produced videos that catch artists Hurray for the Riff Raff, Andrew Combs, Harvey Davidson and Duquette Johnston in their truest and rawest form.
Being HUGE Immortal Lee County Killers fans from back in the day, we were very excited to hear something from Harvey Davidson, which is a new project from ILCK drummer JR Collins — Stream all 4 videos below and keep an eye out for Shoemaker, who is hard at work documenting great music from in and around the South. We’ll keep you updated as he posts more work:

On April 1st, Jack White‘s Third Man Records posted a video that featured the TMR staff releasing blue helium balloons in the air. Each balloon having a flexi-disc 7-inch single of Jack White’s ‘Freedom at 21’ attached … a video that at the time, we took as an April Fools joke [watch here]… The next morning, we discovered that this was no joke, but reality!
Not only that, but we found that the wind that day took the balloons for a ride south-east of Nashville towards Chattanooga. And since that morning of Monday the 2nd… we have been obsessed, using every spare second looking for popped blue balloons on the ground or hanging from a tree. This video can fill you in:
Using TMR’s balloon website, you can see where balloons have been found by using a Google Map that show all the locations along with a photo of the lucky scavengers with their prize. Check the balloon site HERE to learn more… and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see where balloons have been tracked… But, let us warn you, searching for these things start to become an obsession. Especially when you see pictures LIKE THIS!
In other Jack White single news, the official video for ‘Sixteen Saltines’ dropped yesterday…. And WOW… We can’t stop watching. Very dark and the complete opposite to his first single ‘Love Interruption’ from his upcoming LP ‘Blunderbuss.’ Compare and contrast both videos below and pick-up 7-inch of the single HERE:
Oh, and if you’re in Nashville for Record Store Day on April 21st, you can pick up these 2 different versions of the ‘Sixteen Saltines’ single ONLY at Third Man Records’ physical location, which includes the Liquid Filled Record 12″ vinyl version of the single! Check out details to that and all the other TMR Record Store Day releases right here:
We decided to bring back of our Video of the Week feature and to kick things off by keeping it local. Strung Like A Horse is a Chattanooga “garage grass” bluegrass band who are on our must-see list of local bands. The boys also just won the 2012 Road to Nightfall competition and will be headlining this summer’s Friday Nightfall Series on August 3rd.
Directed by Tomás Andres Donoso and recorded by Spanner Sound, check out the official video for their single ‘Byrd Dog’ below…. And keep an eye out on Strung Like A Horse’s tour calendar HERE
If you had told us in July when we first wrote an article about The Shakes that in February, the now Alabama Shakes would be making their television debut on Conan, we could have never imagined that type of success so quickly… but with a debut LP, ‘Boys & Girls,’ dropping in April and the Third Man Records released live 7-inch featuring ‘Be Mine’ and ‘You Ain’t Alone’ coming out this month, that success is definitely a reality… which is VERY well deserved.
Check out ‘Hold On’ and the web-only take of ‘I Ain’t The Same’ below:
