[video] Matt & Kim :: “Lessons Learned”

Posted by PJ in Random, The Yellow Stereo, Videos

Saw this video for Matt & Kim’s “Lessons Learned” over at Rock Insider and just had to give it a mention.  The video premiered on MTV (or is it MTVu? I dunno the difference) and to be honest, the less you know about this video, the better the surprise will be.  Let’s just say that the duo are portrayed having a jolly stroll through Times Square.  They’ve certainly come a long way since I first heard them back in 2006.  Their reputation for having a crazy live show seems to precede them, no matter where they play now.

lykkeIn other news, another video I just happened to watch a few minutes ago comes courtesy of the “American Idol” contestants singing Lykke Li’s “I’m Good, I’m Gone.”  I watched maybe 30 seconds of it, before I had to turn my head away in disgust.  Ouch.  If the casual viewer was blind to Lykke Li before, than I’m pretty sure this did absolutely nothing to pique any kind of interest in hearing the original.  You can watch it for yourself here.

    The American Idol take on Lykke Li = tragedy.

    I couldn’t believe that they were singing Lykke Li on American Idol! It blew my mind, like what’s next Passion Pit plays a set during the Results shows? It was so random, and of course it was oversung and terrible, but what do you expect? But I guess all publicity is good publicity?

    Lykke also performs that song on the new Josh Schwartz web- series Rockville CA (www.rockvilleca.com) in all her black gauze-y hippie glory.

    Yeah, I think you’re right Janet. I’m sure any kind of publicity, especially from such a huge show like American Idol, would be appreciated. I’m just not sold that their audience would care to check out Lykke Li after the butchering of that song :)
