Saturday morning TV

Ahead of next Tuesday’s release of Lost Channels, Great Lake Swimmers exclusively premiered the video for “Pulling On a Line” on the newly re-designed Pitchfork site.  Imagine Tim Burton, David Fincher and David Lynch as a three-headed director and you’ll get a sense of what the video is like.  Or else just watch it in the embedded player below.

Elbow have recorded a very special version of last year’s Mercury Music Prize winning album, The Seldom Seen Kid, with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Abbey Road studios, and by all accounts it’s an absolute stunner.  It comes out in the UK on Tuesday.  Pre-orders are being taken by hmv.com.  You can get a taste of what it all sounded like by clicking the link below, but Mac users be forewarned; it’s a Windows Media link.

And last but not least today, Metric have not one, but two videos for “Gimme Sympathy”" which will officially be the lead single off their forthcoming Fantasies album.  The first is the standard video, but they’ve also completed an alternate split screen video that simultaneously shows you the official video and a scene by scene behind the scenes look at it’s making.  Very meta.
