Happy three-day-weekend Friday! Labor Day is just about here along with the conclusion of summer and the end of white being an acceptable color to wear...or not? DC Goodwill Fashionista offers some great tips for keeping the crisp neutral season-appropriate.
In case you're needing a quick distraction on this long workday, check out these zany music videos, which manage to combine a Disney-like cuteness with Tarantino-style violence. Don't worry: it's nothing too gory, and this is coming from the woman who closes her eyes during Jurassic Park.
The first video is Neko Case's "People Got a Lotta Nerve," from her latest album, Middle Cyclone. The paper-doll look of the little girls and animals makes me think of a Victorian Children's Safari Guide gone terribly awry. Lesson learned: Never groom a tiger.
Second is She & Him's "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" from their debut album, Volume One. The retro-pop tune is tempered by the multiple demises of songstress/actress/fashion icon Zooey Deschanel while M. Ward strums along, looking both confused and amused. Moral of the video: Zooey can pull off just about any style (cowgirl, nightclub piano player, etc.) even amongst a horde of ghosts and a series of decapitations.
If you like what you heard, listen to more songs from Neko Case and She & Him on their respective MySpace pages. In the meantime, have a great Labor Day Weekend!
