Interview: The Naked and Famous

Saturday Video Parade!
We’ve got some heavy hitters on this week’s Saturday Video Parade. Radiohead surprised everyone at the beginning of the week when they announced that they would release their latest album, The King of Limbs, only four days later. That day was yesterday and along with the album’s release the band also released an odd little video to go along with the song “Lotus Flower”. So we’re kicking things off with Radiohead, but that is just one of the 19 brand new videos we’ve got for you this week.
