Pixies Share Video For “Ring The Bell”
In advance of their brief 11 dates in North America set to begin next Saturday night in San Diego, Frank Black and Co. have emerged with a video for “Ring The Bell.” Also included on the tour is a night at the Hollywood Bowl next Sunday, as well as a string of four dates in Canada in early October. Currently tickets still remain for nine of the eleven shows, that will happen when tickets are way overpriced.
“Ring The Bell” joins the collection of tracks from the band’s latest album Indie Cindy that the Pixies took time out of their busy schedule to make a video for. Actually, two fans, Lital Mizel and Adi Frimmerman directed and appear in the video, read all about it here. I think there’s only one more tune from Indy Cindy that needs a video, but I’m not the person who keeps track of things like that, so I could be wrong. To clear up ongoing confusion about the tune “Ring The Bell,” it’s not a cover of the Anita Ward disco classic.

Watch Bear In Heaven Video For “Autumn”
One of the most underrated albums that I’ve come across this year is from the Brooklyn based experimental pop outfit Bear In Heaven. The band’s fourth studio album Time Is Over One Day Old was released earlier this month, and I can’t get enough of it. The album is currently my #1 album of the week on my Spicy Six CD’s list. Earlier this summer the group released the first single, the spectacular track “Time Between.” This week the trio shared the incredible follow-up, “Autumn,” the lead track from the album. Both of these tunes are fantastic and sure to make my favorite tracks list at the end of the year. Enjoy both videos below and decide which one you think is best. Do your ears a favor and pick up a Time Is Over One Day Old, you can thank me later.

Broken Bells Share Video For “Control”
James Mercer and Danger Mouse aka Broken Bells have released a video for the track “Control,” from the group’s 2014 release After The Disco. The two have been touring relentlessly since the album’s release, and have two nights booked at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles in late October. I haven’t spun this compact disc all summer, shame on me, but I’m positive After The Disco will be included in my top albums of the year when the time comes.
