The plan for this week’s Sunday Night Videos was to showcase a few new songs – since I went with some of my person favs last week – and then throw out some of my favorite holiday videos. But, with Brittany Murphy’s death today, I’ve decided to showcase her video as Video of the Week. That bumped Julian Lennon’s new video for “Lucy” to co-Video of the Week.

Artists featured this week (new videos) include: Julian Lennon, Capgun Coup, The Pity Party, Phil and the Osophers, Dodos and Gringo Star. Holidays videos are by: Julian Casablancas, Band Aid, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, Alabama, Adam Sandler, Paul McCartney, Run DMC, No Doubt, David Bowie and Bing Crosby, Dan Fogelberg and Wham!.

This week’s Video of the Week is a live performance of one of my favorite songs, “A Stem”, 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.

As we wind down this holiday weekend and make our way back to reality, here’s this week’s DeadJournalist.com Sunday Night Videos.

This week’s Video of the Week is from Lo La Tengo from 1997 because “Sugarcube” is one of the best indie videos of the decade. And I had to add Atari Teenage Riot as a nice little tie-in to round out the set.

Other videos this week include: Kurt Vile, Jemina Pearl, Atlas Sound, The xx and The Sounds as well as Thoa with the Get Down Stay Down, Midlake, Crystal Castles, Broken Social Scene and The Unicorns, among others.

Sunday Night Videos is back for a second week. Moving forward, all the videos of the week will debut on DeadJournalist.com each Sunday Night so mark your calendars accordingly.

This week’s DeadJournalist.com Sunday Night Video collection features the video of the week by Hurricane Bells. The Sunday sixteens includes videos by: phil collins, The Postal Service , Noah and the Whale, Architecture in Helsinki, Micachu & The Shapes, Royal Bangs, Black Grape, Sponge, Nouvelle Vague, Deer Tick, Joel Plaskett Emergency, Muse, Bear in Heaven, Junior Boys and Washed Out.
