Her shadow looms large (just ask those other girls from Destiny’s Child — not you, Kelly Rowland). Despite the challenge of making a name for herself, Solange has recently been getting her own attention and it has nothing to do with nepotism. With the help of Devonte Hynes of Blood Orange, her new music is fresh and all her own. And the video, shot in Cape Town by Melinda Matsoukas, is just as fly, a mix of the runway and village life. And, most interesting is the presence of Les Sapeurs (Society of Tastemakers and Elegant People), a subculture of the Congo in which men rock French dandyism while living in the slums. “Losing You” might be about absence, but what the video really proves is the presence of beauty even in the unlikeliest of places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>DANNY BROWN: GROWN UP\u003c/b> (dir.

Taking the place of the Detroit rapper is 9 year old Dante Hoagland, who mimicks Brown’s look, from the bangs to the missing teeth. Clad in a tiger-striped hoodie, young Dante rocks training wheels around the hood, trashes a library, and even makes riding a toy horse look gangsta.

Tillman about no longer drumming for Fleet Foxes. Turns out he was being a little dramatic as he’s already back with a musical project. For his first solo music video, he recruited everyone’s favorite side-eye connoisseur Aubrey Plaza of \u003ci>Parks and Recreation\u003c/i> to play a freakshow of a protagonist. No manners, just tantrums! Makes you want to knock someone’s cocktail over and step on some toes a.k.a. what cats do every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>DRAKE: HYFR\u003c/b> (dir.

It’s kind of like looking at people you went to middle school with on Facebook and saying “Really?!” only way less depressing. In his video for “HYFR,” Drake celebrates his Jewish heritage with a revival of his bar-mitzvah ’cause famous people get to do whatever they want. I wonder if I could channel the .003% fame I got when KTVU recently asked me a question on air and revive that time period when I just sat around reading books, eating calzones, and complaining (it’s known in some circles as college).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SPIRITUALIZED: HEY JANE\u003c/b> (dir.

At least that’s what I thought when I first found Spiritualized’s music video for “Hey Jane,” but I got over it and I’m so glad! This video is equal parts touching and brutal. The clip follows a trans woman going about her day with her young son. If she looks familiar, it’s because the actor is no other than James Ross a.k.a. Tyra Sanchez, season 2 winner of \u003ci>RuPaul’s Drag Race\u003c/i> (the young boy is his real son, too). I was more than a little bitter when Tyra won over Raven (don’t get me started), but all that angst has disipated upon viewing this video.

Endless wars, petty election sniping, and that jerk mean muggin’ on the Geary bus can get to a person. Thankfully for us, there’s this British singer/songwriter by the name of Adam Bainbridge that is so nice that he named his music project Kindness. But he doesn’t stop at making cheery dance music. He takes it one step further in the music video for “House,” in which he teaches a young boy how to use a drum machine and then recruits him to help out with the song and some cute-as-pie dancing too. If you’re not smiling by the end of this video, I’m sorry to say you’re kind of a monster.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Her shadow looms large (just ask those other girls from Destiny’s Child — not you, Kelly Rowland). Despite the challenge of making a name for herself, Solange has recently been getting her own attention and it has nothing to do with nepotism. With the help of Devonte Hynes of Blood Orange, her new music is fresh and all her own. And the video, shot in Cape Town by Melinda Matsoukas, is just as fly, a mix of the runway and village life. And, most interesting is the presence of Les Sapeurs (Society of Tastemakers and Elegant People), a subculture of the Congo in which men rock French dandyism while living in the slums. “Losing You” might be about absence, but what the video really proves is the presence of beauty even in the unlikeliest of places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>DANNY BROWN: GROWN UP\u003c/b> (dir.

He takes it one step further in the music video for “House,” in which he teaches a young boy how to use a drum machine and then recruits him to help out with the song and some cute-as-pie dancing too.

Time to dust off your ugly sweater for that Christmas, Hanukkah, or Festivus — for the rest of us — party; pick up a ridiculous trinket for that white elephant exchange; and get your holiday baking on. Does anyone make fruitcake anymore? Has anyone ever eaten fruitcake?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the running around, shopping and various family obligations would be so much easier to handle if it weren’t for the \u003ci>soundtrack\u003c/i>, which never seems to change. Loaded with holiday “classics,” the same tired old chestnuts turn up — now starting a couple of weeks \u003ci>before\u003c/i> Thanksgiving — and go into heavy rotation in malls, on TV and at various social gatherings. There’s got to be a better way! Here are 10 new-ish indie releases to help you refresh your holiday playlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Sufjan Stevens, “Lumberjack Christmas/ No One Can Save You From Christmas Past,” \u003ci>Silver and Gold\u003c/i>\u003cbr>It wouldn’t be the season without a Sufjan Stevens holiday album. The last one, \u003ca href=\"http://music.sufjan.com/album/songs-for-christmas\">\u003ci>Songs for Christmas\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, was a bit melancholic for my taste, but perhaps that’s what the holidays are all about? This year’s release, \u003ci>Silver and Gold\u003c/i>, is much lighter and up to Stevens’ more grandiose standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GlNw9V22z8A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GlNw9V22z8A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2.

This version of “Let it Snow” feels a lot like a dream. I recommend putting this album on for your guests once the spiked eggnog has taken effect. It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Songs that not only beg to be played over and over, but that put all the best parts of being human into a bottle and then pour those out through headphones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next episode of the Noise Pop Podcast will be a collection of all the best songs of the year, chosen by you! We want to hear from you, our tasteful and discerning listeners, and have you determine the tracklist of the final episode of 2012. Please email your suggestions to \u003ca href=\"mailto:podcast@noisepop.com\">podcast@noisepop.com\u003c/a>, or or if you’d like to have your voice played on air record your suggestion below in the Soundcloud widget or call in and leave a message with your suggestions on the podcast hotline, (585) 4NOISE5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"230\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"http://grouprecorder.soundcloudlabs.com/embed.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fgroups%2F113396\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Few new albums and winter conditions mean that there’s a seasonal dip in the number of bands hitting the road and coming to town in December. A dip, however, doesn’t mean that there aren’t noteworthy highlights, including the return of former locals \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moon-Duo/50957258535\">Moon Duo\u003c/a>, whose latest LP, \u003cem>Circles\u003c/em>, came out earlier this year. As luck would have it, Moon Duo’s Ripley Johnson is also playing SF with his other band, Wooden Shjips, this month, as part of \u003ca href=\"http://www.theindependentsf.com/event/159101/\">a stacked anniversary show\u003c/a> celebrating twenty years of Thrill Jockey Records.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
