Motion City Soundtrack release new video

MCS's latest music video for "A Lifeless Ordinary" from My Dinosaur Life is now live for your viewing pleasure. The concept is from none other than singer/guitarist Justin Pierre. His vision included a one-cut take with

"...the coolness and stupidness of Weezer, the absurdity of the Flaming Lips, and the nonchalance of Pavement, like, 'We Really don't give a shit.' It combines all these things that I like, all these little nuggets of ridiculousness."

He continued:

"Making this video reaffirmed my belief that you should just trust yourself, and do things you like with people you like. Exactly what I had in my mind came out onscreen."

19 takes later, a music video was born. Check it out exclusively on Spin.com. How many pairs of Vans do you see? Hint: Look at Justin.

Motion City Listening Partay!

Motion City Soundtrack is obviously getting stoked about their album release- and I believe I can speak for everyone else when I say we are just as excited. It doesn't help that they've been a bigger tease than that cheerleader from high school but tonight, my friends, we can get our MSC full throttle.

Tonight at midnight, the band's MySpace will have the highly anticipated "My Dinosaur Life" streaming in it's entirety. Start to finish, track by track, we can finally piece together all of these snip-its and videos and discussions and perplexities that we've been so thoughtfully handed thus far. The album will be released on January 19th and is still up for pre-order. That Deluxe Edition looks gnarly! 6 vinyls?! Surely you jest.

If you still don't know if you want to join the listening party tonight, you silly thing, you can not only preview a track, but check out their newest music video from the album below.

Motion City Soundtrack are on the Dino Trail

Motion City Soundtrack is busy at work with their new album "My Life As A Dinosaur" which just recently became available for pre-order. Justin has been on what's known as the Dino Trail. He's doing acoustic performances across the country in a few major cities. They've been pretty hush-hush from what I've seen in photos and videos and as a result have been some pretty intimate shows.

To see the recaps, videos and upcoming shows, you can follow Justin on mydinosaurlife.com

Justin is also taking some time off the Dino Trail for a live Facebook chat on Monday, November 16th at 3pm EST. Tune into the video chat on the band's Facebook page.
