Recent Music Video-er Jeffrey Lewis recently announced something exciting: he’s doing a regular video series over at The Guardian!

Apparently each episode will be in two parts:

• Jeffrey Lewis and The News
• Jeffrey Lewis and …

The first past he talks about current events briefly and in the second, he performs with another musician. Watch the first video here. Doesn’t sound like it’ll be regular but hey, this sounds great. Who are we to complain!

Straight from the announcing post by Jeffrey Lewis:

Each short episode will feature at least two sections, one of which will be “The News”, my weekly 10-second news roundup in illustrated limericks or other sung/drawn forms.

The other regular feature of each episode will be “Jeffrey Lewis and …”, which will consist of me doing various songs, whether covers or originals, in collaboration with a smattering of whatever talented folks I can rope into performing with me. The first episode (above) has footage of the wonderful Laura Marling joining me for an interpretation of Eminem’s Brain Damage. Forthcoming guests will include French indie heroes Herman Dune, London’s rising star Johnny Flynn, and many more. I may even think of other stuff to include, as I’ll be touring America, Australia and the UK over the next few weeks, so I have no idea who I may encounter for future episodes. Enjoy!
