Midnight seems to be the only time that MTV ever plays music videos anymore. Which is a shame because, though the College Humor Show is a stroke of genius, main new music discovery is becoming limited solely to the internet. So in an effort to go with that flow, I present four excellent videos displaying excellent musical talents.
Angus and Julia Stone are a pair of folky Aussie siblings with a penchant for festivals and swooping, silvery vocals. The music video is less than spectacular but the song speaks for itself. The tune drips whimsy and sensitivity from intertwining harmonica and simple chords.
The bowl cut rocking hipsters of indie outfit Le Corps Mince de Françoise blend French, handclaps, basic English, stuttering, a hint of xylophone and a drum machine into a seamless, catchy packet of poppy dance music. And as for the video...I now really want a headdress, some gold balloons, a vest made of fringe, scissor decorations,a pinata, a crop top, and a cage.
This video is all about the aesthetic aspect of Animal Collective. Avey Tare and Panda Bear roll through the streets of Paris pushing a shopping cart which contains the third member of their band, Geologist, who is wearing a speaker around his neck. Avey Tare sings into a cup to distort his voice and Panda Bear is banging on anything he can find, including a radiator which he scrapes and taps at. The effect is fascinating, confusing, and awing all at once.

The final video (or link, rather, to the video) is my favorite song off of Andrew Bird's latest, Noble Beast. I've been a Bird fan for a long time but nothing has been more beautiful to me than this record. "Anonanimal" rises and falls with the grace of an extraordinarily talented violinist. His voice swells out about the sea of strings like a rolling wave of triumphant yet delicate warbling. Andrew Bird stirs the classical pot by ushering in equal measures of electric guitar and modern drum beats. The result is pure magic.
