• Video: Crystal Fighter's 'In the Summer' Transports You To Magical, Less Muggy Universe

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jul 10, 3:56pm ET

  We’ve been drenched in sweat all week, running our A.C.’s on full-blast while feeling super guilty about our electricity bill/the environment, but Crystal Fighter’s latest video took us out of our misery for at least 3 minutes today while we marveled at how something can be so simultaneously creepy and … More

• Video: Some Chick Headbutts Maroon 5's Adam Levine In 'Misery'

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jul 2, 11:23am ET

  Well look, if you’re going to name your latest single in 3 years after a very famous movie/book about a crazy woman who hobbles her favorite author so she can keep him forever, the least you could do, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, is not make any more associations to the … More

• Video: Marina And The Diamond's 'Oh No!'

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jun 28, 11:14am ET

  Last summer, Marina and the Diamond’s “I Am Not A Robot” was like my summer jam. I had it playing on perpetual loop on my iPod. Now that it’s 100 degrees out again, I’ve been re-listening to that song over and over, which is why I’m glad that the latest … More

• Rhymefest Creates First Cartoon Nostalgia-Based 3D Music Video

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jun 10, 2:31pm ET

  What’s that Internet rule, that for every possible thing you can imagine, there’s already some sot of weird fetish porn for it existing somewhere on the web? That’s sort of how we feel about this Rhymefest video, “I Say Wassup,” but replacing the porn with 90s cartoon nostalgia. And it’s … More

• Submitted With (Minimal) Comment: Lady Gaga's 'Alejandro'

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jun 8, 12:39pm ET

  Just…was “Telephone” not provocative enough that Lady Gaga’s newest video for her single “Alejandro” had to add some post-industrial German Nazi goth stuff to the mix? Although we do like all the Metropolis allusions. Or is it more City Of Lost Children?
  … More

• Video: Newsies + Lady Gaga = The Internet Just Exploded

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jun 8, 11:48am ET

  We love Newsies, as evidenced by our devotion to finding out where all those impish scamps ended up after the credits rolled. We also love Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” because, d’uh. Combine these two things and you have probably the most viral video of the week (for chicks and gay … More

• Christina Hendricks Makes Hard Sci-Fi Debut In Broken Bells Video

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | Jun 2, 4:07pm ET

  Last week we posted stills from the sci-fi looking video “Ghost Inside” by the band Broken Bells, remarkable if only for the fact that Christina Hendricks (aka Joan from Mad Men) was starring in it as some futuristic space lady. Maybe? But also from the past? Whatever. Now the video … More

• Glee's Dianna Agron Directs Thao Music Video For OxFam America

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | May 28, 2:28pm ET

  Dianna Agron may be better known as Glee’s former Queen Bee Quin Fabray (or as I like to call her, “that chick who just won’t get any more pregnant), but when not on the show Agron shows her softer side. Like directing singer Thao’s new video “Body,” which doubles as … More

• Update: Working Vid Of Countess LuAnn's 'Money Can't Buy You Class'

  By: Drew Grant | 1 Comment | May 28, 11:32am ET

  Oh man, and we thought Countess LuAnn Delesseps‘ summer single was just a catchy pop song. Obviously we had no idea that there would be a music video involved for the Real Housewives Of New York City star. And that it would be so incredibly awesome. And involve extensions. So … More

• Video: Vampire Weekend's 'Holiday' Reveals True Dandies Behind Hipsters

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | May 27, 11:25am ET

  Vampire Weekend’s latest single “Holiday” now has an official music video, with the Columbia University band-cum-leaders of the preppy hipster movement dressing not in their normal pink polo garb, but Marie Antoinette-styled wigs and powder. It’s a distracting contrast: the upbeat, peppy vocals of Ezra Koenig mishmashed with some 70s … More

• Rihanna Is A Rockstar – Rihanna’s latest video “Rockstar 101” is like early Madonna (what isn’t these days?) meets that scary fast-motion style of Jacob’s Ladder. But you know, sexy.  (via The Frisky)

• Mark Ronson's Got Your 8-Bit Cover Right Here

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | May 24, 5:20pm ET

  Speaking of 90s nostalgia, Samantha Ronson’s brother Mark (you know, the one who did that Lily Allen collabo) has made this Nintendo-esque sequence for “Circuit Breaker,” a song on his upcoming album Record Collection. We’re getting a little tired of bleep-bloop as a music genre, but watching those little pixels … More

• Robyn’s Got A Video For Her New Single – “Dancing On My Own,” not to be confused with the seminal “Dancing With Myself” by Billy Idol. Though their hair is sort of similar. (via The Awl)

• Video: Alternative Version Of Beyonce's 'Halo' Just Got A Little Bit Darker

  By: Drew Grant | Comment | May 21, 11:27am ET

  A leaked, alterna-cut version of Beyonce’s “Halo” video is making the Internet rounds today, which makes us happy because “Halo” was perhaps our favorite pop song of 2009 (although we kind of like the mash-up versions a little more, because the beats on that song sound like they are being … More

• MIA’s ‘Born Free’ Is Already Getting The Telephone Treatment – Yet the only comparisons we see is that they are both very NSFW. (Vimeo)
