The winner of SXSW’s Best Music Video 2010 was Cinnamon Chasers’ “Luv Deluxe.” The video chronicles the misadventures of a young couple as they journey out west to the San Francisco area. It totally reminds me of that movie the Butterfly Effect. Watch, and you’ll see what I mean.
Awesome video, great song. This definitely turned [...]

Just came across the video for “Pursuit of Happiness” by Kid Cudi feat. MGMT & Ratatat. This is off of Cudi’s Man on the Moon, which dropped last year. If you notice, that’s Drake standing next to Cudi. Why he’s in the video and MGMT/Ratatat aren’t I have no idea. I guess since Drake owned [...]

Check out Jay-Z’s new music video for one of the sleeper hits off of The Blueprint 3, “On to the Next One.” The song’s main hook samples one of the more obscure lines from French duo Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.”, much in the same way that T.I.’s “Swagga Like Us” sampled M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes.”
Is it just me, [...]

There has been an incredible amount of hype over the new duo, Girls. Today, for the first time, I sat down and watched their music video for their single, “Lust for Life,” and I honestly cannot say I’ve been so impressed with a song and video in a very long time. The song is beautiful [...]

With Halloween just three days away, I figured that now would be a great time to show some love to Friendly Fires and their hit single “Skeleton Boy.” The track is off of their self-titled debut album, which was released in late 2008. It’s a great song with an even cooler music video. For all [...]

People criticized Scarlett Johansson’s album, Anywhere I Lay My Head because her vocals were hidden beneath layers of effects. However, this time, teaming up with Pete Yorn, Scarlett Johansson’s music career could flourish with the release of the duo’s album, Break Up. The idea came to Yorn when, after days of insomnia, he finally got [...]

Swedish indie-pop group Miike Snow (no, that’s not a typo) just released the music video for their hit single “Black and Blue.” Miike Snow’s sound has been described by professional music critics as “A-ha meets Animal Collective.” I personally like to think that their sound is more of an offshoot of Passion Pit’s. The band’s [...]

Earlier today KiD CuDi’s “Make Her Say” music video was released by Universal Music Group. It’s the rising hip-hop star’s third music video out there, with the first two being “Day ‘n’ Nite,” and its Crookers remix counterpart. When I first heard “Make Her Say” back in May, I thought it was a hilarious, novelty [...]

“He who fights with monsters  might take care lest he thereby become a monster … and if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
You may recognize these words from the great American novelist Mark Twain, or you may have just seen the quote scribbled on the opening frames of [...]

Earlier today, the hotly anticipated music video for Wale’s hit song “Chillin” feat. Lady GaGa was released. The video was directed by Grammy nominated director Chris Robinson. Overall it’s a decent, catchy song that’s definitely going to be getting some serious air time. Wale brings his A game as usual. The only weird thing is [...]
