I’m really digging the run of DIY videos that one of my favorite bands of all time, Little Dragon, has been coming out with lately!  Although they might not be the most visually stunning or captivating, they go well with the songs without overpowering them, are conceptually original, and illustrate their personalities very well – and that’s what a video’s supposed to be for anyway, right?  Here’s the video for “Never Never,” which features up to 8 Yukimis, which I’m not mad at at all.

PS: Their latest album Machine Dreams was one of our favorite albums of 2009!  Check them all out HERE.

Whoawoawoawoa this is AMAZING!  Between me always playing Little Dragon in the house, Nico always playing Little Dragon in the car, and Ada Clock always blowing smoke his nostrils like a little dragon, there’s a lot of Little Dragoning going on among the iLLs these days.  If you haven’t checked them out quite yet, here’s a crash-course to the amazingbeautifulomgiminlovewithyou lead singer, Yukimi Nagano.  For the already-fans, this mix also throws in some pretty hardbody exclusive cuts that you may not have heard yet, including one with iLL-homie and fellow Brooklynite Ge-Ology.  Fiyah fiyah!

OHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTT WERE YOU GUYS AT THE LITTLE DRAGON SHOW IN SF LAST NIGHT????????????  In case you’re not privy, to them, Little Dragon is a Swedish electronic band fronted by the amazing Yukimi Nagano, who makes me melt like an ice cream crepe in Brazil during a time when it’s winter in the northern hemisphere (hot).  The homie Trackademicks hops on the boards and booth for this remix of my favorite song from their album, “After the Rain.”
