Best Coast is definitely shaping up as this year’s best new band, marveling pair upon pair of ears with their stunning debut. One of “Crazy for You”‘s gems, the sparkling ’60s vibe revamp “Boyfriend” just got its official video up recently. Directed by Taylor Cohen, the video makes up for a sweet capture of a typical Mexican wedding, complete with the retro vibe. Crazy for You is out now on Mexican Summer.
Warpaint’s Undertow has been haunting me for a few weeks now, slowly making its way on the top of my playlist, and today I couldn’t be more thrilled to hear the band released an official video for their debut’s first single. The video is pretty simple, but pretty much follows and feels what the song would look like if sound would’ve been transposed into visuals – scenes of reminiscences and passionate memories. As a fun…
Do you know what day is today ? What do you mean ‘no’ ? Well then, you obviously haven’t been on Google’s homepage either. If you go there and click on their logo, this particular doodle will launch: This is because today, if he were still alive, Lennon would celebrate his 70th birthday. Great going, Google ! We would also like to take a moment and remember John Lennon, member of what is perhaps the…
Spontaneous and fascinating, the animated video for The Japanese Popstars’ “Let Go” will make you want to take off, clean and scrub your eyeballs. This is dirty, this is techno, this is awesome! The technique somewhat reminds me of Blu’s stop motion graffiti animation, which you guys should check out, if you haven’t already.
Stupid is fun alright, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O cover of Roger Alan Wade’s “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough” for the Jackass 3D soundtrack kinda nails the spirit. Sung with a country twang and southern accent, Karen’s version provides a nice first listen of the Jackass 3D soundtrack out digitally October 12, which also features tracks from the likes of Weezer, Twisted Sister, and N.A.S.A.’s Squeak E. Clean remix of…
Seems like I’ve become more and more fascinated by NSFW material (I’m not even what would one call a porn aficionado), it just seems these kind of videos manage to resuscitate the viewer and transform an insipid band in studio video recording into an exiting, engaging and wild film. Sex can do that. I know little to nothing about the Barcelona one man band El Guincho, but the video for his latest single Bombay off…
In a recent talk with BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey lashed out on people who can afford to buy music, but choose to rip it, saying they’re “going to hell” for it. “If you genuinely can’t afford music then of course you’re going to rip it. If you can afford it and you don’t pay for it then you’re going to hell and you’ve got your own room. Especially when it’s a…
Yet another video from Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, this time for “Bluish”, and as one might except it’s got copious amounts of blue. Yeah, blue bubbles, blue smoke, blue cosmos, blue dancing exotic dancers and, of course, big blue eyes. You can check out the video below for the YouTube stream or directly at the Animal Collective homepage for some nice, crisp HD quality.
Boy I’ve gotta tell you, Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me. What is she up to this time ? Quite a good cause if you ask me: she’s sending a message out to people, speaking against the US Senate policy commonly known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell”; basically, this doesn’t allow gay, lesbian, or even bisexual people to serve in the military. Which is just absurd, as Gaga points out: [caption id=”attachment_6623″ align=”alignleft” width=”500″…
One can see the resemblance, but is Cohen capable to fill Freddie Mercury's immense shoes? I'm skeptical.
