It’s been a foggy day today as we roll into mid-December. Rather than focus extensively on new music, this week includes a lot of videos from throughout the decade and concludes with three of my favorite early-’80′s songs.

This week’s Video of the Week is a live performance of one of my favorite songs, “A Stem”, which was released in 1996 by Canadian singer-songwriter, Hayden.

The Sunday Sixteen includes a collection of videos by The Decemberists, Baby Dayliner, Cloud Cult, Memory Cassette, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Pinback, Metric, Sunny Day Real Estate, Iron and Wine, Ten Leo and the Pharmacists, Black Dogs, A Place To Bury Strangers, Dirty Pretty Things, The Kinks, Split Endz and The Jam.
