Proving yet again that you can’t put your arms around a memory but you can go back and alter your songs so that radio will play them, here’s the new Alanis Morissette video for break-up ballad ‘Not As We’. Alanis walks alone on a beach, overfills her bath, writes in her journal and drinks coffee earnestly. You’ll probably want to give her a hug.

Directed by Clyde Petersen, frontwoman of Seattle-based collective Your Heart Breaks, here’s the new video from Deerhoof, ‘Chandelier Spotlight’, taken from their new album Offend Maggie, out this week. Like it? Then download the song for free here. Sorted.

We love Imani Coppola here at Wears The Trousers. Always have, always will. Okay, so her new project Little Jackie doesn’t quite scale the heights of brilliance like last year’s The Black & White Album or her enduring debut Chupacabra, but it’s nice to see her burning up the charts after paying her dues for all these years. The next Little Jackie single will be the title track of their debut album The Stoop, but the video for it has been taken down from YouTube. Rats. Instead, here’s Imani and Adam’s recent appearance on ‘Later…with Jools Holland’.

This isn’t as good as we’d hoped. Oh well. It’s still better than this. And a vast improvement on this. Best post-millennial Bond theme in the bag then.

other videos we’ve been watching this week (Australian edition):
a new promo (the second) for the brilliant ‘Where I Stood’ by Aussie singer-songwriter Missy Higgins
‘Can’t Shake It’, the first single from wacky Aussie Kate Miller-Heidke’s new album Curiouser. “I execute the moonwalk like I stepped in shit”? Now that’s what we call a lyric.
