The reasons for Harvey Milk's non-release at the time has never been made clear. What is clear is that its 2010 release amounts to much more than Hydra Head swiping for your precious cash by dredging up a band's nascent fumblings in the name of 'rarity'.

Like you'd not had enough audio-visual content from us in the past day, with THREE whole videos AND a brand new Yeasayer song. Well, here's yet another one, this time from that bunch of musicians who call themselves the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for their new single, 'Skeletons'.

Watch: Broken Bells - 'The High Road'

Posted: 27 Jan 2010 08:55 AM PST

So, for the last day or so, we've been sitting on our hands waiting for the new video from the Danger Mouse and James Mercer collaboration that goes by the name of Broken Bells to show up. Thankfully it now has, and we can show you it.
