"... first clip from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Director Keven McAllester takes a Scorsese-style single-shot stroll through Spoon's recording facility, where Austinites tap out percussion parts and mariachi dudes tote trumpets."
Awesome song, awesome video, enjoy.

"The bloody brothers of Cribs may surprise you with LP number three, and if you haven't given Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever a chance, change that; tracks like "Bovine Public" and "Girls Like Mystery" capture Kapranos's stellar production in under-three-minute polished pop bursts, helping the Jarmans turn out their best effort yet. "Moving Pictures" is vid #2 from Men's Needs..., and it's bound to be less controversial than the first. The Strokes-y cut sees the boys trade yellow-green screen for black-and-white, and naked female practice-crasher for clothed female practice-crashers. But just like last time, they remain steadfast in the face of distraction. Mama raised the Jarmans well. Or they have serious eye contact issues."
Awesome. Been loving The Cribs recently, their last song/video was amazing and this one doesn't disappoint either, enjoy.

Not a whole lot of news on the 4th of July, so enjoy this hilarious parody of Linkin Park. The author claims to actually like Linkin Park and that this was done as a "Satirical Tribute", kinda like when Comedy Central does celebrity roasts. Anyway, it's hilarious and pretty much dead-on, enjoy.

"In which we learn for what those green screens were to be used: to more easily incorporate faux-Pumpkins without Billy having to meet-and-greet 'em; so an array of Mac screen savers could rule the horizon line; and so that Billy can shoot frickin' lasers out his eyes, seamlessly and without looking bizarre and eccentric just for the sake of it (wouldn't want that). Don't worry, there's something for the old-school Billy lovers, too! Take it to 3:21 for a one-second shot of Corgan sans shower curtain. (via AOL's Spinner site)"
Love the song, though I'm not sure about the video. Oh well, enjoy the new Smashing Pumpkins single above.

Great mashup of The Beatles's "Come Together" and Nine Inch Nails's "Closer". I believe the actual title of the mashup is "Come Closer" by DJ Zebra. The MP3 can be downloaded from here. Great song, enjoy.

"OK, so we just got around to checking out the new video for Interpol’s single, “The Heinrich Maneuver.” When watching it, don’t freak out and think that time has slowed down, as the clip really is at that speed. We won’t spoil the ending for you, but when the chick gets… wait… just watch it for yourself. We’re looking forward to getting this on DVD where we can speed it up to real time. Their latest album, Our Love To Admire, hits stores on July 10. "
"The Heinrich Maneuver"
Directed by E. Elias Merhige, "The Heinrich Maneuver" is the first single from Interpol's third album, Our Love to Admire. A lot of people seem to hate the video, but I personally like it. I also enjoy the song a lot, even more than the other three tracks I heard from the new album. Enjoy.

"Conor once again enlists the estimable Patrick Daughters to produce his vid for a standout from Cassadaga, and Oberst is granted his request that this studio-performance clip kindly not include a trash-chucking crowd thank you very much. But Daughters does bring back the tight, Bright face shots; swells the ranks of Oberst's Eyes to include a sweet string section; and keeps 'em all in their tour-standard white-on-white. Conor won't confess to being "fucked" this go around, so crank it up and let the kids in the room, as long as seeing Conor's locks won't be too traumatizing for them."
The song's alright, the video's alright, but nothing amazing. Bright Eyes is a fantastic band though and I'm enjoying their newest album "Cassadaga". I'm not a big fan of them censoring lyrics in the vid, but it's understandable, enjoy the new video above.

"Rest My Chemistry"
"All Fired Up"
"Scale"
Interpol's newest album "Our Love to Admire" is due out July 10, 2007. Sounding good so far, I can't wait for the rest of the album. Enjoy the three tracks above.

"Uber-producer and longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich posted some interesting snippets from Radiohead's upcoming LP number seven. The as-yet-untitled album still has no release date, nor do we know which record label (if any) will be putting the record in stores. You'll hear bits of "Open Pick," "All I Need," "Down Is The New Up," "Arpeggi" and "Bangers N' Mash." Sounds like this new album could be a doozy.
About the clips, Godrich said: "I keep bits of tape which have been chopped out of the mixes when they were edited .. stick em on a reel.. when you play it back it sounds like.. this."
You can listen to them on Dead Air Space, or via the YouTube link below."
Via stereogum:
"Of course it'd be entirely irresponsible and unwarranted to base any sort of opinion on such detritus, but whatever it is we're hearing at the :32/:44 second marks is gonna be the best song ever."
"And there's another version replacing the charming tape reel and Nigel's hands for screens flashing possible song titles (the best song ever is referred to as "All I Need," which works both as a title and a statement of fact)."
Radiohead is quite possibly my favorite band ever and these tiny clips from the cutting room floor are like table scraps that are feeding my poor hungry soul for new Radiohead. Even though it's hard to make out what any of these full songs will sound like, what I hear in these clips has big potential in my mind and I think this is going to be another phenomenal album from the greatest music artist of our generation (ok, that's saying a lot, but I did mention Radiohead is possibly my favorite band, right?).

"Rotten Hell" = 300 with food and kids instead of pecs and quads.
cool song, cool video, enjoy.

Very cool Bat for Lashes video that I came across thanks to Digg. It reminds me of the movie Donnie Darko in a way (which happens to be essentially my personal absolute favorite movie) and some people think the video was inspired by the film; possibly done as an ode to it, or it of course could just be coincidences. The bicycles, the hoodies, Halloween masks (the bunny one in particular =p), the car accident and etc. And on top of that, the band's myspace has listed "Donnie Darko" under influences. Overall, the video is very cool and the song itself is awesome, enjoy.
This video is an experiment to see how rapidly the theremin can be injected into the world's collective consciousness. It's amazing that not everyone knows what a theremin is. It was the first electronic musical instrument and it was invented in 1919. Are Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse from Gnarls Barkley really theremin players? There's only one way to find out!Fucking awesome. If you don't know what a theremin is, look it up. All you need to know is that it's a "touchless" instrument and is extremly hard to play; atleast to make it sound good. This video is impressive, and the fact that Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" is a fucking awesome song adds to it.
"Men's Needs" is the first single from The Cribs's third album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, which was released on 14th May 2007. This video was banned from MTV2 due to the graphic violence because it was "too shocking for a daytime audience", which is some BS. Anyway, enjoy the video below, the song itself kicks major ass. (be sure to check two seconds before the end of the video for a surprise)
The Cribs - "Men's Needs" (Black Box Version)
The alternate "cleaner" version of this video can be found here. It features the girl wearing a bathing suit and doesn't include the "graphic" scenes and such.
"Remember when all the blogs out there went nuts for the Franz Ferdinand cover of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends"? Well, the song was released this week as a b-side to the LCD Soundsytem single. Below is the video for the tune, which was made by Anna McCarthy. Who doesn't like floating heads and sleeping beauties? Enjoy!"
"All My Friends"
This new Franz Ferdinand video is a cover of the LCD Soundsystem song "All My Friends", as stated above, and it's a very good cover to boot.

Still no sign of Bulby! But this skeezed-out second-take on QOTSA's first Vulgaris single comes packing its own digital delights, including a thrashing, hypercolored take on the dancing iPod silhouettes and a lost little girl with a thing for flicking off the cam and baring her assets. Obviously not intended for MTV USA! We scanned the YouTube comments for elucidation, and we came up with "This one is the official German video." Doubtful, but for your enjoyment, here's "Krank, Krank, Krank."
"Sick, Sick, Sick" is the first single released by Queens of the Stone Age from their 2007 album Era Vulgaris. The song features Julian Casablancas of The Strokes on backing vocals and Casio synth guitar. If you missed the original video of this song, it can be seen here. As for the alternate videos, taken from the single's Wikipedia page:
Liam Lynch directed two official alternate videos for the song:
Two new official Smashing Pumpkins videos were released on YouTube the other day. No, not new music videos for a new single or anything, but two new montages promoting their new album in a way and basically just showing how much The Smashing Pumpkins just simply fucking rock, enjoy.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Paris, France May 22, 2007
The Smashing Pumpkins return!!! This is the first of many official videos giving a glimpse at the return of this quintessential band to the alternative music world. Set to the song "Tarantula", which will appear on their forthcoming album "Zeitgeist" in stores July 10th, 2007. Filmed in Paris, France at the Grand Rex.Smashing Pumpkins Promotion Montage
The vid is composed "entirely of CGI ... [paying] homage to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as the NASA spacecrafts of the 1970's." After a cool use of the abrupt outro cut from Impressions track "Ize Of The World," Fu's film unfolds, giving a futuristic spin on possibly the best Strokes song to date.This is an alternate video/short film of "You Only Live Once", directed by a Lucasfilm art director, Warren Fu. The original video for this song was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had previously helmed the "Heart In A Cage" video, and features the band performing the song in an enclosed room while tar pours from the walls and fills the room. Enjoy this alternate version, it's quite sexy.
Memorial Day Weekend = not a lot of news, so enjoy this creative mash-up using two great songs.
