With a touchingly strong voice and an emotional deliverance similar to a break-up from somebody who still loves you but isn’t completely heart-broken, Oblio caught my notice with the song ‘Anna Nicole Smith.’ Somewhere in between electro, trip-hop and pop, it reminds me of something a really sexy, dark featured girl would strip to in [...]
SUPER CUTE LIVE VIDEOS :: AKIINE
So one of MinorProgression’s favorites now has some video’s up on youtube that haven’t really been seen. Anyway, I encourage you to beef up the view counts on these cute short live videos to hopefully inspire Akiine to make really cute music video’s that only someone with her quirky sensibilities could create:::::
Fever Ray “When I Grow Up”
I can’t stop watching Fever Ray‘s new video for “When I Grow Up.” Karin Derijer Andersson ( of The Knife fame ) seriously takes the cupcake for this one. The costume design is so perfect, it’s exactly how I like to imagine that crazy girl we all went to school with (you know, the one [...]
Video for ‘Eugene’ by Mirror Mirror
Though the song is good and the video carries it’s own torch, part of the fun in watching Mirror Mirror‘s ‘Eugene’ is finding out how strangely the audio to visual match up in this colorful, casual boy-fest. “What was that?”, I found myself asking the first time. Then I watched it again. I couldn’t help [...]

Aside [...]

VALENTINES DAY LOVE IN: RIP OSCAR GRANT
The official MinorProgression stance on the horrendous unwarranted murder of Oscar Grant“ by BART police is FUCK THE POLICE!!! Since we don’t support police brutality and the violence they stand for, we’re urging all bay area residents and those in the vicinity that can make it, to do what police officers cannot do, and that [...]
Bird announced land: video of cute kids dancing in a bathtub
Ta – da!! This guy named Marshall who does this event-organizing thing called Pretty Blue Presents posted this bird announced land video on myspace, asking for people to repost it around. I thought it was pretty cute, so I figured I would be an asshole not to carry the torch for this lovely little ukulele [...]
