The Decemberists have just released a video for their song “Calamity Song” and it’s pretty cool. It was directed by Michael Schur, who is co-creator and showrunner for my favorite show on television, Parks & Recreation. The video itself is apparently a scene from David Foster Wallace’s behemoth Infinite Jest. I’ve never read it so I wouldn’t know, but one can still appreciate the video regardless.
You can watch the video here.

This weekend I went to go see Miranda July’s new movie The Future. I’ve been a big fan of hers since I learned of and participated in her (now defunct) Learning to Love You More project. Her first movie Me You and Everyone We Know was really enjoyable. Funny, clever, and heartfelt, it had me anticipate a lot from her as a director.
The Future tells the story of a couple who, in preparing to bring home an injured cat from the shelter, quit their jobs to find purpose in their lives for the next month. He joins an environmentalist group fruitlessly slinging saplings to people door-to-door, while she begins a relationship with a stranger, which leads them to question their future as people, together and separate.
The movie is full of funny moments, some purposeful and some not so much. The parts involving the injured cat, Paw Paw, are narrated by the cat in a squeaky voice (July herself) which made a lot of the audience laugh. While I didn’t enjoy the movie as much as the first, I still thought it was a moving look at relationships and time. It’s out in limited release now, so look for it in your town.
Here’s a song featured several times in the movie, as part of July’s character’s ambitious “30 dance for 30 days” project.
Been waiting for the new release from Axel Willner, aka The Field for some time now. His last album, Yesterday & Today was a definite favorite of mine. His new album Looping State of Mind is out October 25th on Kompakt. Here’s the title track for your listening pleasure.
Bonus:
Junior Boys – Banana Ripple (The Field Remix)
Lemoade are back with a cover of Shai’s “The Place Where You Belong.” The original was on the Beverly Hills Cops 3 soundtrack. Hear their cover and the original below.

Australia’s Canyons have announced details regarding their debut album due out this year on Modular, and premiered a new song. “Circadia / Under a Blue Sky” begins off with a load of insect sounds, seeming more like a nature recording than disco track. The synths pop up bouncing along as saxophones and arpeggiators crowd into the song. Have a listen below, and download the album’s first single “My Rescue.”
