The list of interesting videos added to the archive at Pitchfork.tv this week begins with the clip for Animal Collective's "Who Could Win a Rabbit". You got a tortoise, a hare, a couple of bikes, and production design out of an uneasy dream.

Writing about Cool Kids' "Delivery Man" earlier on Forkcast, Marc Hogan said, "The colorful video reminds us that parents just don't understand, depicting Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish rapping, being pizza guys, and standing around with birds on their shoulders."

Andrew Gaerig had this to say about Sébastien Tellier's Sexuality: "His fourth album moves toward erotic synth-pop in what might be a more stereotypically French pursuit, but Tellier's willingness to engage the material without contempt or parody leads to an album of unexpected charm and grace." The video for "Devine" fits his aesthetic.

TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe sings, as you know, and he also acts from time to time, as you might also know. In Jonathan Demme-directed Rachel Getting Married, he does both. I haven't seen the movie and I'm hardly a film critic, so I can't speak to Adebimpe's acting chops, but his unaccompanied rendition of Neil Young's "Unknown Legend" is raw, powerful stuff. Makes me wish I was on a desert highway myself, or else back at Roskilde hearing old Neil serenade us with this Harvest Moon favorite while My Bloody Valentine's "You Made Me Realise" still rang in my ears.

Less than a week ago, the Black Angels supported legendary psych rocker and fellow Austin, Texas resident Roky Erickson at a show in Dallas. It seems the two acts get along, because they've also got a little West Coast tour together starting at the end of the month.

On the tour, the Black Angels will open for Erickson and then return later each evening as his rhythm section. And that's not the only special part of Erickson's sets, since they will include songs from the 13th Floor Elevators catalog that haven't been performed live in years.

In addition to their dates with Erickson, the Black Angels have quite a few shows, both in the U.S. and Europe. Their next date is tomorrow (October 11) in Pioneertown, California.

Whatever "Sugar City Magic" is, the Ryan Juszkiewicz-directed video for this closing track from Bound Stems' sophomore disc, The Family Afloat, suggests it ain't Black Lips' Magic City. That's probably healthy, though: There's sunshine and fresh air aplenty both in the clip and in the urgent, slightly mathy song. You've got the Chicago five-piece performing on the lawn, white picket fence and all. "My friends still gather 'round the block," they go shout in unison from the neighborhood street, and multi-instrumentalist Janie Porche chimes in later with the album's title phrase. Economic apocalypse may soon have many of us feeling like Ma Joad; here, Bound Stems keep the fambly together for one last block (not Bloc) party.

Björk and Thom Yorke, two of the mightiest figures in avant pop music, might will be joining forces for a good cause: protecting the Icelandic environment. If a promotional CD discovered by the French Björk fansite bjork.fr is to be believed (UPDATE: It is!), One Little Indian will release the new Björk single "Nattura", which features the Radiohead frontman on backing vocals. Although the promo indicates that the single is coming out this Monday, October 13, nothing about the single has been confirmed by anyone from One Little Indian or the Björk or Radiohead camps.

UPDATE: Björk's camp has confirmed that the single will indeed be released on October 20 from One Little Indian.

According to text on the promo, the song "highlights a grass roots movement in Iceland to reclaim the country’s natural resources and wilderness from the hands of big business and pollution." It is described as "more of a protest and rallying cry than a lecture." [Thanks to reader Daniel La France for the heads up.]

"Nattura" shares its name with the website Nattura.info, a gathering place for the Icelandic environmental movement. This wouldn't be the first time Björk has teamed with Nattura; this summer, she joined countrymen Sigur Rós at a concert to raise awareness for the organization. It also wouldn't be the first time Björk has teamed with Yorke. Back in 2000, the pair duetted on "I've Seen It All", a song featured in the Björk-starring Las Von Trier film Dancer in the Dark and included on its accompanying soundtrack album Selmasongs.

Maybe next these two can turn their attention towards fixing the Icelandic economy? (On a related note, the organizers of next week's Iceland Airwaves festival want everybody to know that the festival is still going on despite the country's economic woes. Party on!)
