As you may have read in our interview, Passion Pit has a new album coming May 26th. Check out their brand new video for a song called “The Reeling.” The song and the video are both awesome.

This week’s MMM, in addition to being a little late, is also going to be rather random. And with that, the random videos shall commence.

Passion Pit is supposed to release their debut full length later this year, after dropping one of the catchiest, if not best EP’s of last year: Chunk of Change. Here’s the video for “Sleepyhead,” because both song and video are quite enjoyable.

Voxtrot has recently released their next single from their upcoming release, so I thought I’d post a video from one of their previous ones. “The Start of Something” might indeed be my favorite Voxtrot song, but this is certainly up there. Courtesy of La Blogotheque Take Away Shows.

For those not following Colin Meloy on Twitter, he proposed a challenge to everyone to write and videotape themselves performing a song about Linda Ronstadt. He announced the winners and runner up’s today, but Donovan and I agree that this one was the most enjoyable.

The last video has nothing to do with music, but should get a laugh or two. Donovan showed me this a while ago after one of his friends showed it to him, and it’s basically one of the best things Shatner has ever done. Though, the other reactions of the guy next to Shatner are golden as well. “D’oh, Mr. Crain!”

As a side note, we’d like to plug a website of a new friend following us on Twitter. He seems like a solid fellow, so check out the website of Ben Derico.

While I still have time, I figured I’d post a song that I’ve been listening to as an early Christmas present. Because, why not?

Now, I know Chris is our remix guy, but I’m our Passion Pit guy. This remix of the fantastic “Sleepyhead” has been getting a good deal of play on the ol’ iTunes. For some reason I picture the start of it being performed in the Middle Ages, with trumpets and other brass hanging out of castle windows, and then I guess a bunch of modern equipment being controlled by peasants and other townsfolk as it goes on. Anyways, I really like what The Mummers have done in this one because they changed many aspects while keeping the ones that make it great, which I guess is exactly the formula for a good remix.

And as an added bonus, if you’re looking for another “Sleepyhead” remix, check this one out. It’s a lot more techno-ish, but I highly recommend it as well. Maybe not as innovative as the above one, but still super-cool.
