The Joads – Good Deal Gone Bad video

Hey, remember that podcast we put out a few days ago? Remember that awesome song by The Joads, “Good Deal Gone Bad”, and how we mentioned there’s a music video for it? GUESS WHAT! Here is that music video. It’s a surprisingly dark tale of addiction, guns, money and public transportation mishaps, lightened by its uptempo singalong soundtrack. The Joads’ “ramshackle surf blues” hits the stage tonight at Takoma Park DIY hotspot Electric Maid in a crazy variety show including young, not-at-all-racist punk band Dagos and The Georgetown University Improv Association. There’s absolutely no better way to get this weekend started off right!

Wytold – All I Need video

Live performance videos are the hot trend in DC music videos this week. After Honest Haloway and Priests, today we’ve got a mellow and beautiful cover song by experimental cellist Wytold. Using a looping pedal and both electric and acoustic cellos, Wytold creates his own rendition of “All I Need”, from Radiohead’s 2007 free album In Rainbows.
