Music Video: Mutemath - Backfire

MY nominees for Best Video of the Year By a Female Artist

If MTV were still relevant at all, maybe Kanye would have complained that there were a ton of videos (including his own "Heartless") that weren't nominated at all.

For the most part, I didn't see anything new in any of the videos nominated. I didn't keep tally of cliches but the number would be pretty high if I did.

I was glad to hear that MTV brought back the Breakthrough Video of the Year category. It disappeared two years ago I think (when Mutemath should have won for "Typical". Alas, the category didn't make it to air though. If you want two of the best videos by female artists you can look at that category. Here are those two, plus Janelle Monae's "Many Moons".

Mute Math

I've seen hundreds of concerts over the past 15-20 years and quite honestly I have never, ever seen a better concert than Mute Math. Seriously. Ever.

I've seen them twice and I said that after the first concert I saw by them. Somehow they put on an even better show that night.

Check them out this Friday night on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

You can also see videos at their YouTube and hear music at their MySpace.

Free Legal MP3 of the Week - Mute Math - "Control"

I am anxiously awaiting Mute Math's full length debut album. Their EP has been a regular in my CD player for...gosh, has it been almost two years? Wow.

For now you can only get it at their shows. They'll be in a town near you, check it out: www.myspace.com/mutemath.

Since they aren't coming to Nashville until March, I'm enjoying this MP3.

I very much want Knapsack Heroes to tour with this band.
