Thursday Filter - The Kills, The Week That Was, Plus More

Today, on another shit-cold day in New Jersey, we've got a couple new videos and songs for you guys.

First, The Kills, who I've posted here numerous times after witnessing their great act at Lollapalooza last year, have released a video for their single "Black Baloon" off of their 2008 album Midnight Boom. Is it odd that they're wearing the same clothes in the video that I saw them perform in back in August?

Also, The Week That Was, who I've been criminally unaware of until I came across their video on Some Velvet Blog, have released their video for "Learn to Learn" off of their 2008 self-titled debut. If I can note one feature of the single, it's very English. I guess that could be a promising feature.

Chris at Gorilla vs. Bear tends to have some really good podcasts that you all should be interested in. Today, as he does every week, he posted a couple MP3's worth noting from The Shivers and African artist Amanaz. Take care of these, will you?
