Videos: Pearl Jam team with director Cameron Crowe for first single
Thursday, August 27, 2009 | 10:39 am
Pearl Jam go way back with Cameron Crowe, the Academy Award-winning director of "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire."
He wrote about the group for Rolling Stone when they were exploding on the national level, and also tapped the band to cameo in his Seattle-set movie, “Singles.”
Crowe probably would have directed a clip for the guys a lot sooner, except Pearl Jam has a famous aversion for music videos. And so that makes this Crowe’s first clip for the band. See it and more below.
Pearl Jam - "The Fixer" - Video
Apparently, the guys filmed this clip during a surprise appearance at Showbox at the Market in May. Considering this was probably the first time the crowd heard the song, they seem to be digging it, but really, who wouldn’t?
The Walkmen - "On the Water" - Video
Set to a standout track from "You and I," this ominous track finds two rabbits on the wrong side of a farmer's field. Crows fly through the night and the farmer is mainly seen in a shadowy silhouette, adding to the eerie and unsettling vibe of this strong video.
Radiohead—“These Are My Twisted Words”—Live
Hey, remember how Radiohead gave away another free song last week? And remember how they said they might play it live at summer festivals? They weren’t kidding. Revel in the fan video, and soak up the lack of lyrics for more than two minutes.
