Video Round-Up, 8.7.09

Welcome back to Video Round-Up, where the SD crew picks through the flurry of videos circulating this particular week and posts the highlights.

This week, we remember two late greats: John Hughes (who passed away yesterday, 8.6.09 from a heart attack at the age of 59) and Heath Ledger (who directed a video for Modest Mouse before he passed away last year).

After that, there’s some live goodness from Alela Diane, Lykke Li featuring the Roots, Deerhunter, St. Vincent, Jens Lekman, Cymbals Eat Guitars, the Mae Shi, the Antlers, the Black Lips, and Bon Iver, along with traditional videos from the Gossip, Bat for Lashes, the Octopus Project, Jay Reatard, Beck, Julian Plenti, Yo La Tengo, Pink Mountaintops, and the Henry Clay People.

Enjoy, and Happy Friday!
