This is probably the most upbeat and jazzy version of “Jingle Bells” out there, from good Ol’ Blue Eyes. Throw it on while you decorate a tree and watch the Christmas dance party materialize before your eyes.

Featured Video – Bear Hands “Crime Pays”
Pitchfork debuted the new video for “Crime Pays” from Bear Hands today, featuring a special guest appearance by what appears to be Mike Tyson at the boxing match! Also, I really enjoy the ending. Take the camera and run little man!

EV2BK Live Music – Deli Magazine Showcase at Brooklyn Bowl
During CMJ week there were a ton of shows to check out and one we were certainly glad not to peep was the Deli Magazine Showcase featuring Bear Hands, Brahms, Oberhofer, and Keepaway at Brooklyn Bowl. It was a killer show and a highlight of the week. Here are a few songs from that night.

EV2BK Live Music- Common Prayer at Glasslands
Here at EV2BK we’re catching up on the video back-log in the wake of CMJ and a string of other shows. In September we checked out Common Prayer at Glasslands. After being intrigued by the video for the excellent “Us vs. Them” back in July, we were psyched to check them out live. Here are a few videos from the show, enjoy!

Jam of the Day – Move Over Moses: Bear Hands Release A New Burning Bush
Bear Hands // Photo by Betsy Blundell
Bear Hands drops their long-awaited and anticipated first LP Burning Bush Supper Club today, and we couldn’t be happier about how hard they’re making it rain. There are so many good tracks on this record that we hope you will listen to it streaming on Spin.com or order the album from Cantora Records. Definite standouts include the catchy-as-pink-eye opener “Crime Pays,” long time live favorite “Belongings,” and the track that feels like the heart and soul of the record, “Whicksey Boxing.” Plus, “Blood and Treasure” will rock your socks off!
Here’s the first single, “Crime Pays,” which will have a video soon, apparently.
