OMC - How Bizarre

In what has become and unwelcome tradition, I’m kicking this week’s Sunday Night Videos off with an RIP – this of Pauly Fuemana of OMC who had a fantastic one-hit wonder with 1997′s “How Bizarre”. He was 40. (This is a song that one of my best friends and I have continued quoting since it came out. And did you know the band was from New Zealand?)

As for the Sunday Sixteen – all new stuff because we all need a new jam! This week’s videos are by: Animal Collective, jj, Editors, Pablo, Local Natives, Beach House, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Joy Orbison, Lightspeed Champion, Junior Boys, St. Vincent, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Adam Green, Best Coast and Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band.
